BitTorrent

[blacklilly]

Having decided I need more visual stimulation (and Firefly is coming to an end) I was looking at Bittorrent etc for downloading stuff. Has anyone used any of these sites? I'm rather concerned about viruses and the idea of 'hosting' - does this actually give people access to my hard drive? The idea of letting people download off of me is dubious, for the same reasons that I'm an eBay seller, not normally an eBay buyer - I trust myself, no one else.

You don't have to act as a host. I never do for that very reason
