Welcome! Speaking of voting... YES ON PROP 19!!!

heh heh... slumshoes... :P

Hey, dude! You seem like a cool person to play some games with! I have a 360 and my gamertag is FlyDRod. e-mail's the same @live.com I've been playing Gears of War 2 lately. Also, I have Borderlands for my PC and sometimes play multiplayer on there. I'm trying to add a steam account now. Let's see how it goes... :blink:

something wrong with your keyboard... Classic. Anywho... Welcome, Dru!

While it would be a great idea for you to check out the wiki and browse through the help files, I'll see if I can answer your question really quick and really simple. Think of a torrent file like a small map to a party you have to go to. This little map will point your client (BitComet or uTorrent or whatever) to the party. At this "party" everybody's celebrating and passing around "drinks" without so much as a second thought (drinks =whatever you're downloading; musics/movies and whatnots.) How do I get that map you're talking about?, you may ask... well that's where your torrent sites come in. They're pretty much like the liquor store you would buy a map from. Only we don't need maps to a party, we need maps to where ever our desired files are stored! There are so many torrent sites out there. Some of them host, some of them mirror... but NONE of them are responsible for you downloading some 17 year old's fake version of (insert something you wanted, but couldn't wait for here). Some good sites are out there, though and clean (especially private ones like Demonoid)... welllll.... let's just say that you need to be dilligent and read what other users are commenting. Keep in mind that there are a bunch of jerks whose only thrill in life is to make it look like you're going to DL a virus, when in fact it's not a virus at all. Use your better judgement and stay away from torrents that haven't been approved by the community you're downloading it from. Torrent sites are very easy to find. Just google "torrent search engine" and you'll be busy for hours. The sites that I frequent the most are: btjunkie, Kick a** Torrents, of course you can't forget about The Pirate Bay, I used to use sumotorrent, but I wouldn't recommend it (which is why I didn't link you) because it's been INFESTED with newborn hackers. Apparently that's the place to go if you wanna try out a new phishing string you've made. If you're lucky enough to know someone who has an invite code, Demonoid is an excellent site (but it won't have too many rare or hard to come by items). I used to use IsoHunt but ever since they changed from hosting to mirroring it just hasn't felt the same. There are so many out there, that I'd be here forf hucking ever trying to list them. Remember... If it's got an 80% or more positive feedback from people, then it's most likely a legitimate torrent. Just be careful, ask if you're not sure, and for the love of God and everything that is electronically charged... SEED

Hey there, hi there, ho there! Didja end up finding out what to do? Lemme know if you didn't and I'll walk you through it. You can e-mail me or IM me or whatever. I remember when I was still a wookie (yeah, that's what I call rookies lol)

Well hello there, mateys! It's incredibly damned early in the morning and I be stuck in a Pirate-y mood! Har har har!!! I hope that the pirate speak doesn't annoy you too much! Anyway, my name is David and I'm currently a student at ITT Tech. I'm studying Computer Network Systems and look forward to returning to school for Electronics and Engineering. My love for computers and patiences for broken things is leading me down the path of circuit boards and electrocution... but it's when you finally get everything in it's place and it works just like new that I think any burns and scars would be well worth it. Anywho- That's enough rambling about my current mission. Let's see... what else can I waste your time with? hmm... Oh, here we go: I'll tell you about my computer! I've a custom model and I'm proud to say that I was the custom-erizerer (and yes I'm aware that that's a ridiculous word but what can I say?? I mean I did start this whole thing talking like a freak-in' pirate, after all! ha ha) Here's the specs: It's got an AMD Phenom II X2 550 Processor which has 2 Cores running @ 3100Mhz on an MSI motherboard (model MS-7596). I'm running a 64-bit OS (Windows 7 Ultimate) which is actually MUCH better than Vista ever even dreamed about becoming... still use XP @ school all the time, though. Unfortunately I didn't have enough to put in all the memory I wanted to so it's only got 2GB of RAM and 317GB of Spanned Hard Disk space (which is actually made up of about 4 hard drives; 3x 80GB hard disks and the original 90GB I salvaged from a 2005 PC). No worries though because a 650w Power Supply is juicing up the beast within: an ATI Radeon HD 5400 Series Graphics Card with 2GB of memory is helping to lighten the load. It does more than pull it's weight too because I'm constantly playing Batman: Arkham Asylum and Borderlands on it, and I can STILL run virtual machines! (it's awesome because I bought an X-Box/PC controller). At the moment I'm trying to save up some money so that I can buy either A.) A soldering station so that I can start messing with stuff (I have an old CRT monitor that needs the VGA plug replaced) or B.) another 2GB of memory... hmm... decisions, decisions... Hey! I should totally make that a polling topic! What do you think I should get first?! Anywho- I'm done talking about me and my Surfmachine-II... yeah I named it... so what? Don't judge me! Heh heh... My WiFi/LAN network at home is known as "Pirate's Wharf" lol... and on remote connections to my computer it says "Welcome to the Mother-ship Terminal." So silly... So sweet... If you've actually read through all my shenanigans, you deserve some sort of prize! Thanks for sticking it through, ye scalawag! Unfortunately I don't have any virtual cookies or beers to send your way and my weed is just that MINE!
