What do y'all use for this? I experimented with Bittorrent but thats slow as a falidimite tortoise. So now i'm using Kazaa Lite, but it's notorious for fakes, like T3 could be Bicentenial Man or some pish like that....

I think it's almost impossible to aviod a fake now and then...
However, I always use eMule. But for beginners that program can seem a little...too much work. But trust me, you can find much more movies and much more strange things like 80's movies and a lot of TV series and stuff like that.
If you do get eMule, be sure to read the "manual" because you have to add some servers to the program via weblinks to "serverlists".
eMule is often, if it's not a very popular file, very slow. On average you get about 5-6kb/s but with popular stuff you can get 90kb/s easy.

in response to mc_303_beatz, bittorent is never slo fo me. i get excess 200kb/s w/ it. and k-lite is okay.
im not sure about emule, becasue it can be very slo. i have overnet (samething) and its usually slo as a bitch. but it all depends on how patient you are

i use kaZaA-lite for it, if you dont want to get fake ones use the verified downloads site, its easy, just hit the sig2dat button and it will be automatically add to your dl list
its only very slow sometimes but you can use the accelerator to speed it up or find the same file in the search field

eMule is slow if you've got a LowID, which no one seems to know what causes. I used to be LowID when I first got my broadband and when I was on modem but now it's pretty good.
I've learnt to wait for stuff I want so it's not a problem anymore. eMule has the most exotic stuff I've seen yet in such a open P2P environment. Stuff that you normally find at closed DC hubs or FTP's.

if your on windows do not use the eDonkey client, spyware piece of crap. Use eMule or whatever it is.

I use Kazaa lite and check them with DivFix. The sig2dat thing definitely gives you the right files but whenever I use that it gives me the ones on lowest bandwith! Just look very carefully for fakes, download like 20mg and then check it in DivFix.
If you're in America don't even bother doing this anymore cause RIAA will sue your ass.

If you don't want to have those soundbanks I could send you a *fix* for the program. It'll save you some time.
I've not tried it but it's supposed to work.

eMule relies, as far I understand, heavily on other servers. If you connect to a "bad" server you'll get a LowID assigned and you can basically wait forever to get something. But with the serverlist (I posted a link above) you'll get a fresh batch of servers to connect to.
I also depends a little on how much you specify in upload speed. If you share at 5kb/s it seems that you'll wait a bit longer in line. 15 to 20kb/s is ok, and pretty much near my crappy ISP's limit for uploads.

to get way most out of emule, there's a catalog www.sharereactor.com(this site can be slow). The files, and there are lots, are all the real thing. Just click add file and then emule start dwl.
