I was never a member of Elitetorrents (not to say I didn't try). But this is really annoying now. Instead of it being that asshead Dan Glickman gunning for torrent users, now it's HomeSec. This is just getting out of hand. Honestly, what business do they have shutting down torrent sites? It's ludicrous. I really can't understand where homeland security comes in under copyright infringement.
I read about this last week, but had nowhere to rant about it other than torrentspy. First btefnet goes down, then torrent users are all but declared terrorists by the US government. Hooray!

Plus, going to a friends FTP/SFTP was always much safer and you knew you were getting quality, not mixed stuff tossed together with different rates and volumes and shit.

My freshman year of college was when Napster was in its heyday. That was freakin amazing being on the school's T1 line in my dorm and downloading pretty much anything I could think of at breakneck speeds. Although it's kind of nice to now be able to get stuff like videos and software in addition to music, but this cable modem is nowhere near as fast as back when I was in the dorm.
I personally hate VBR but to each their own.
