Havent downloaded any music for ages, went back to Limewire and there doesnt seem to be much added, and i bet its 2 years or so since i last used it.

What is everyone using now, it needs to be simple!!

Thanks for any advice.

I gave up limewire as it hogged my machine and left crap allover the place

Elementary, dear Watson: ask Buksi.

If you, too, are embarrased not really to know, but are embarrased to reveal your ignorance to good Mr. B, you could:

1) Download one of the torrents (bittorrent, emule, whatever)
2) Search torrents through one of the sites such as www.isohunt.com or http://thepiratebay.org/.
3) Download and enjoy.

You said it before me Smile

For Macusers, you can use Transmission which is a very good torrent client...

BTW, I'd like to have a DVD player that will play divx and/or Xvid, jpeg pictures and mp3 as well.

It's easy to get one in HH or do I have to bring one from France along with me ?

TIA

Francois,

You don't need to bring one - if you can't get exactly the spec you want in HH, then Pantip or any one of a few others in BKK will *certainly* have it. I noticed also recently that consumer electronics are no longer at the premium rates they once were in LOS. A quick check at Pantip showed a number of things, especially laptops and such, at prices very close to those at Low Yat in Kuala Lumpur, even on Malay produced goods, which you would certainly expect to be cheaper in their home market.

mininova.org produces most of what you'll need - there are a couple of threads in this section that explain how to use torrents, you'll need a half decent connection though.

As to the above, most DVD players will play those formats and any PC will with the right software.

Hi Korkenzieher,

I will spend a few days in BKK before joining HH beginning of May. I'll have a check in Pantip or Fortune Tower.
