Torrentspy and Isohunt Under Attack

Article

Popular BitTorrent Indexers Torrentspy and Isohunt are under attack by the MPAA (Motion Picture Association of America) who has filed lawsuits against them. This could cause chaos in the filesharing community as these two sites are among the largest on the web. However, there is much doubt as to how the MPAA will approach this, as neither TorrentSpy nor Isohunt actually hosts the torrents on it's site.

Living Longer Through Video Games

Better Living Through Video Games?

Personally, as a hardcore gamer, video games both have a positive, and a detrimental effect. Video games not only improve reflexes, teach people how to multitask, and how to work together and communicate as a team. However, video games also teach young people to be anti-social, detached from reality, and also induce stress. Often, video games will require the same amount of coordination and teamwork as a sports team. Specifically, gamers will often have to micromanage several things at once, all of which are critical to success. Often, games will juggle the movement of my team, the movement of the enemy, my movement, and other things such as ammo and health. This could possibly parallel school where students must juggle classes, homework, and extra curricular activities, as well as the workplace. Personally, I don't really care, I just want to get out their and play!

BitTorrent offers an amazing and easy way to share any type of file online with minimal stress on the bandwidth of the distributor. Already, BitTorrent's popularity among the filesharing community has spread, and many trackers, such as the Pirate Bay, Torrentspy and Isohunt to name a few. It allows people to distribute files to thousands of people with quick speed and efficiency.

Personally, I use BitComet to download torrents. It's written in C++ so it has a low memory footprint, and takes up very little processing power compared to the resource hogging capabilities of Azureus, a Java-Based BitTorrent client.

BitTorrent is very good for the beginning file sharer who wants more then the one or two songs they may download from P2P clients such as Kazaa and Ares. Often, they may download all the albums of a particular band, plus the album covers, in a few clicks. It is also far easier to use then text-based downloading programs like IRC. Also, full movies are easily downloaded, and are often available over BitTorrent earlier then over Kazaa and Ares.

I would recommend that people who want movies, games, music and other online content use BitTorrent, it's easy and it's free.
