ok, I know I need to just bite the bullet and install a bt client. But I am interested in knowing what each of you use? Which would work better for a 56k. I keep reading that the shadow is the favorite, what is everyone's thoughts on this. Which seems to be working better with this sites tracker?

Anyone of them should work just as well on dialup as another as far as I can tell. Shadow's does seem to be the ez-ist and works pretty well. I am still using it even though I know I should change. You just have to remember that BT has larger files. Stuff that is 100 meg + on it. No matter what client you are using, it is still going to take time to get it when u r on dial up. I would suggest looking at suprnova.com to see if the kind of files that you are looking for are even available on BT. Smaller files can be made into torrents, but it is usually only by request.

Thanks JcToad,
well I bit the bullit and installed ABC. I figured I'd need it to get that file they were talking about in games.....Recon ___? or something like that, it sounds like a pretty cool game, thought I'd give it a try, if anyone else was.
I got it and don't know what to do with it, lol :shock:

Boozy, I don't have Ghost Recon yet. I thought I'd have to have this bt program before I could get it. I remember someone was suppose to seed it something. :)
So now I am ready to get it whenever it becomes available.

Staying low and undercover is the only way to survive, also being able to move your team effectively helps as well. I don't know how the MP works on that game but these tips will help none the less.

Music I would stick with winmx. BT is good for broadband users looking for big files like movies and games.
