I wouldn't discuss this on here...bittorrent is legal and all...just most the stuff on torrents is illegal.

Since the thread has been viewed by a mod and not locked I guess I can discuss this without going into too much detail.
You can download full games someplaces, and they may work fine...they also may not work fine. Also remember that when you are using bittorrent people can actually be tracing it back to you and get you into lots of trouble..because while you are downloading, you are also uploading. Just remember you use bittorrent at your own risk, and for the sake of earning respect around here I am not going to recommend any bittorrent clients. Also some companies will put their games out on bittorrent with a special version that makes you register...then send them your IP allowing them to go after you.

Default Heya

I did not lock the thread because I can't do so in this section but it would be best to leave the thread be and post no more. I believe that the point was made and that nothing else has to be said. Basically, games and other programs available through TORRENTS are generally ILLEGAL. It is illegal to download or distribute them by uploading them. I know there are exceptions, but as a rule of thumb, 99% is not legal.

Ever heard the saying: Don't assume because it makes an ass out of you and me?

well, dont assume that a mod viewing this page - and it still being open -means you can post freely...

When joining a forum, read the forum rules and the sticky's at the top of each section before posting, it helps keep this forum headed in the right direction!
