Download a p2p program called 'Bit Torrent', then go to: Suprnova.org

Review your ethical and moral beliefs before doing so though.

Screw Bit Torrent download Azureus, it's a lot better for downloading because it uses more of you potential bandwidth and does not waste it by doing that whole uploading crap that Bit Torrent does.

Avg Speeds minimum 5 downloads:
Bit Torrent: ~30kb/s
Azureus: ~64kb/s

Avg Time of download:
Bit Torrent: ~100mb ~ 1hr
Azureus: ~100mb ~ 28mins

Just trying to give u some options

Or you could just save the hassle of pirating a copy and buy a genuine, but foreign version.

Try here: www.homemedia4u.com

You get the Thai version (Genuine and in English) and a genuine unused CD key.

You sacrifice the box and the manual because they cost more to ship and are in Thai anyway.

Saves that agonizing wait for games to download for not much money and you get the full game, not some illegal copy which keeps getting you thrown off multiplayer servers because 5000+ people worldwide are using the same CD key as you!

But snoopy, would that not cost money?? If it does, i would rather wait and save then buy and have, esp w/me, when i have very lil money to spare.

Or what you can do with blockbuster, is see if you are approved to get the package of 30$ a month for unlimited DVD's a month, but you can only have 5 in your possession at a time, but what you can do is simply burn the DVD to a blank DVD and that way you have genuine copy of that DVD. In know someone that does that and he has over 350 DVD's at this time, wow that's amazing. I like to call him blockbuster.

What is your internet connection Shady. Mine is 640 down and 320 up, at half-duplex.

There yah go shady, but do u mean it the other way around??

So what your saying Fishystix, is that i should pay for an antivirus and spyware/adware things as well??

If you can't support the industry then don't support it and certainly don't hurt it by pirating games...hahahaha

When they start supporting top of the line antiviruses and firewalls and spftware along those lines, all for free, then i will stop the downloading, until then, i do not see it stop. But i don't download the games, i download the movies muahahaha :o)

Just a few thoughts:

First, Bittorrent is the name of a distributed file sharing protocol (as well as the official client) If everybody throttled their upload speeds to almost nothing, the Bittorrent protocol would die (which would include Azureus). If nobody seeds, nobody downloads. That's why programs like Azureus should be avoided in my opinion. While it's not full of bells and whistles, the original Bittorrent client is what I've had the most luck with. Makes sense since it was written by the guy who invented Bittorrent.

Assuming that you have a large number of seeders, then your download rate is limited only by your Internet connection speed and/or any throttling set on the seeders.

Frist off, the BitTorrent file is a waste of bandwidth, you do not need to spend half of your connection "uploading" a damn file.
I do relize what you are saying, but with someone like me who has only a Asymetircal connection (or the half-duplex concept) then i really do not need to be wasting all of that bandwidth.

The point that i should have came out and said, is that you can set the upload speed in Azureus. Set it to like what i do 20kb/s or ususally 15kb/s, that way i can have a down rate of 50 to 60kb/s and still provide other people as well.

So when they start bringing out even worse products because of piracy, what then?
