Best tool to download films?

[partygirluk]

So, I am using Shareza to get my music, and it is pretty good. It does not have many films though, unless you count those of the blue kind.

Any recommendations?

I like newsgroups the best. IRC, bitorrent, and DC++ are also pretty good.

BitTorrent is the easiest. TorrentSpy (http://www.torrentspy.com) is a great source for finding BitTorrent files. They even have a Firefox extension to search their site.

I'm partial to newsgroups too, as the speed I get is generally a lot better than from BitTorrent downloads. I use a commercial newsgroup server (Giganews).

Is that still absurdly expensive (like $80 for a decent plan last I checked)? Cause comcast seriously gimped their service recently.

No--they have several pricing plans. It's not the cheapest commercial news server around but I've never had a problem with their service. I pay $19.95 a month for unlimited downloads/multiple connections/etc. They have less expensive plans as well but I download a lot of crap.

Can comcast still send you a DMCA letter for using that stuff?

No idea. My ISP is Time-Warner/RoadRunner, and I pretty much use Giganews for all my DMCA-violating needs.

Right now I'm using itunes, only because I have kids at work giving me those winning pepsi caps on a daily basis. After those run out, who knows? Also, itunes' library isn't as big as I think it should be.

Seriously?!?!? Times are changing. When I looked at it before, it was about 2 weeks retention on all the binaries, and unlimited downloads with no speed cap was well over $150. AT&T was offering free newsgroups with no cap with like 1 day retention at the time, so I started using that. Recently, however, it's changed to 1GB down/month, which just does not fly with me.

I just put up an ftp server. It has tv, movies, music, games, apps, porn, etc. If any of you want an account please PM me.
Ill give you a gig or 2 of credits, and a high ratio.

Giganews is now pushing huge traffic. My friend is one of the network admins for that company. He says per month the amount of bandwidth file traffic of torrents/video rips/mp3s/rar/etc files, keeps growing on a massive level. So if you like to leech, that would be the place.
