No, sir, in most countries it's forbidden to download commercial videos/music/software, except if the authors explicitly claim their sofware being a freeware.
If not, this is piracy, and it's against our forum rules. mad.gif

uTorrent is a p2p torrent client and really a good one, small and powerful, light.. but I noticed, that if you don't limit the sharing of files or downloading it might slower your connection, I mean it will be using your bandwidth and browsing the web will be much slower for you, but thats logical though biggrin.gif If you've got good connection then it might not be a problem for you. smile.gif

The Utorrent software in of itself is free to download. The search feature in the program links to websites known to catalouge torrents for material that infringes ion copyright laws. You can;t pay someone to share something that is not theirs to share in the first place.

Utorrent is good program for torrents. I use it to download and play with various distributions of Linux.

Yet again, people think that torrent files are made for sharing illegal stuff. In the first place, torrents were made to share large (legal) files over the internet without having a large webserver with some overexpensive fiber optic connection. Sharing illegal software using torrents is just one of the unwanted applications of torrents.

If you don't believe me, most linux distributions are available via torrents, so is openOffice, CDBurnerXP Pro, America's Army, some VMWare Images, ...

I have downloaded all of my Linux Distributions via torrent. Its nice and quick and I help other people download they're copies at the same time.

This, I think is true for most P2P clients. If you share any files, you have to expect that people are going to copy them from you (in return taking your bandwidth). Same thing goes when downloading torrents, if you don't limit the upload speeds, people will take parts of the torrent file(s) for themselves, again taking bandwidth.

One thing I just thought of while writing this was that if it is illegal to share copyrighted media. Say you legally download music and have it on your computer, then a torrent client like uTorrent shares those files on the Internet, are you breaking the law or is it only illegal to download the copyrighted media?

uTorrent can only share files if
1) you have downloaded these files using a torrent
2) you create a torrent for those files and you share this torrent.

btw, p2p clients like limewire, azureus, ... can only share the files that you allow them to share. As long as you don't share folders with copyright protected material, nothing is wrong.

Well, I'd be wiling to bet uTorrent pays no one anything to be posted on their site... because that'd just be odd. The entire foundation of what makes torrents torrents goes against this idea haha. Restating what has already been said, torrents CAN be used for legal matters and in fact were developed originally to do so. But anything that can share files will likely be eventually corrupted into sharing music/video/games/etc that it is not legal to do so. This doesn't make the act of torrenting illegal, just downloading copyrighted things that you have not paid for.

I tried using uTorrent when Knoppix 5.3.1 first came out. I hadn't used Torrent before, but 5.3.1 was only available in DVD at 4.1 GB or so. It seemed like a good time to use something that was reputed to reduce the load on servers. It took a while to get firewalls, routers, etc configured so that uTorrent had both inbound and outbound communication, but I got it working.

It found P2P sources, and started grinding. It informed me it had a time estimate for completing the download: 3-1/2 weeks! That estimate proved academic, because it crashed after about 5 minutes. I restarted several times, and never stayed up for more than about 10 minutes.

It turns out the problem is not uTorrent, but Comcast, my broadband connection. Comcast apparently has hardware to kill Torrent connections. So if you're planning on using any Torrent software, first make sure your connection doesn't go through Comcast!
