The best solution, hands-down, is to buy a Rapidshare premium account and go nuts. Yes, you have to pay for the account but EVERY (and I mean every) scene release--movies, apps, TV, games, etc.-- is ALWAYS posted on rapidshare as soon as the release hits the web. Rapidshare has amazing download speeds: I often get more than 1mb/sec. Furthermore, with a premium account you accumulate rapid points over time which can be used to extend your account for free.

$55.00 cdn for 6 months of premium access is easily worth the money.

Torrents are unreliable: download speeds vary incredibly and fake torrents are widespread. Additionally, using torrents can result in your ISP hassling you about your internet activities.

I definitely recommend Rapidshare--it's #1.

i bought one year of rapidshit in september for 85cdn back when dollar was nice.

already dled about 150gigs worth of stuff and i maybe use it once or twice a week

Let me see if I can get an invite code when I get home from work. The firewall here blocks like, everything.

Forget torrents,rapidshare, etc.
By far your best source for latest releases are the binary Usenet newsgroups.
Rogers ended their newsgroup service a few years ago but there are numerous private newsgroup access providers. The one I'm with charges $15 a month for unlimited access or you can get the pay by download plan, which is what I'm on, and that costs $25 for 120GB,
The download rate is unlimited so you can max out your connection speed.
There are also a few free sites out there that make things easier by allowing you to search the newsgroup servers for specific files.

umm thats still more than what i pay a year, i pay 85 you pay 200.
i download as much shit as i want and on newsgroups not only you have to look for it but also not everything is available on them. I have used them and rapidshit kills it.

This statement is misleading. No matter if the newsgroup service let's you download unlimited amounts, you still have to deal with your ISP's limitations on bandwidth. So if you download a lot (over 60GB) Rogers will still nail you on bandwidth charges.

yah,, totally agree.. but what i do since i am a broke ass is do surveys and collect money which is deposited into paypal then I buy the rapidshare account...


free shiet!

It should go without saying that your bound by whatever agreement you have with your ISP.
I'm on Rogers Extreme so my limit is a 100GB a month which is why I don't bother with the unlimited plan and go with the pay-by-download.

LOL.. so if I encrypt all my packets, does my ISP know what I'm downloading?

That's basically what I am doing (acanac's work around). They probably cannot see what you are downloading, and if they do try and break it, they are running a huge risk of getting sued. All they do is if they see a large amount of encrypted data, they limit the port automatically, even if they don't know what is being transmitted.

I cannot believe the thread was renamed! Nobody ever takes my suggestions!

For speeds, RS and sites like that are the best bet, because ISP's just cannot limit speeds for HTTP traffic on port 80. They just fuck with every other port known to man.
