Web site applications?

[UmaThurman]

Hi,i was downloading some torrents off of mini-nova (friend just showed me how to use torrents), and a third-party application thing came up. I think it was something about dr. pc fix or some crap like that, however my friend accidentally clicked okay for it. Nothing popped up or showed up afterwards, but i was wondering if it's something i should worry about?

well, you should worry about illegally downloading software...
Dr. Fix PC was probably just some Windows thing that'd be harmless on a mac, but use this as a lesson that TORRENTS ARE BAD!

Yes and mininova (no hyphen) isn't very good...I've heard

Hmm.. okay. Is d/ling torrents that bad? I haven't been downloading any music since a while back, cause the dorms i stayed in restricted file sharing. What are the chances of getting in trouble? I'm in a house with 4 other computers, and one of my roomates downloads alot of music. Is there also any other better sites for torrents since you said that mininova.org is bad?

I DO NOT use XTorrent with its built in search feature...as it is really good...and I hate piracy

It's not a matter of the chances. It is illegal to download illegal (unpaid for) stuff whether you are afraid of getting caught or not...

Thanks you! I'll be sure to NOT USE that program because it really is too good.(especially that built-in search feature)
