Thread: How long have you been getting free files?

It would be interesting to know how long each of us have been using the BitTorrent protocol for free stuff both public and private. I can honestly say I've reaped the benefits and can also honestly say I've acquired thousands of dollar$ from free games, movies, music, and software.

Feel free to share where & when you installed your first client or how you came to learn of what a torrent even was in the first place. So I'll start:



Azureus was my first client and I've been using torrents for about 7 years.

My first client was Utorrent and i have been in torrent world for 4 Years ( 2 years in TPB,demonoid and rest private):D

Ive had a few gos with torrents over the years but it wasnt until about 1.5-2 yrs ago i started using it for just about everything. I use utorrent most of the time. And I still love my DDL and streaming sites which i will probably never stop using.(mainly i use them for anime and older episodes of tv shows)

3+ years here. Demonoid was my first and I still use it! IPTorrent comes in a very close second and I use it more often now.

Been hangin' around for about 7-8 years now, had a 2 year break (and lost THE most valuable tracker due to inactivity...), but are back in business now!
I have tried out most of the client over the years, but always came back to UT :)

i've only been in public since 2 years ago. and This year, intact just 3 days ago, started going private :) and not looking back. Really have to thank T-I for giving us this opportunity to enter the private scene. Awesome community in TI. truly awesome.

I've been torenting for as long as I can remember having a computer. I was young.

since i have an internet connection, i used to have a pc without a connection and i bought a lot of cds (about 70 of them) but the minute i am online my brother show me utorrent and torrenz and now i know more about bt and p2p world than he does :)
p.s i only bought a few cds since then to support my favorite artists

I have used utorrent about 3 years
