Hi guys,Just a general question which has more than likely been asked many times.
What do the "torrent' family generally download.
The reson I ake is that most tv shows.clips.trailers are easily avaliable without using torrents.
This being the case,apart form distros etc,that would leave only one big thing movies?


Is this the case do you think?

From my experience with Torrents.

If it can go onto a computer, you can find a torrent for it and download it.
Almost no exceptions (although older stuff is sometimes tricky to find.)

The point of Torrents is that you have wider access to the file you are downloading.  Instead of being a straight peer-to-peer connection, you are downloading/uploading to multiple peers at once and collating the file once it reaches your computer.  This makes it generally faster to use Torrents than standard P2P applications,
