Being a computer engineer, I have a lot of files to transfer. Usually we are able to use IM to send/receive files, but they clients’ transfer functions aren’t very good, so usually the files are slow, they stop transferring, you can’t stop them or resume them, and they’re generally very cumbersome. Seeing how everyone these days has a BitTorrent client, I thought “why not use it to send files to people?
Remote control your torrents with uTorrent's WebUI. I used to use uTorrent, and I always thought it was the greatest. (In spite of the fact that their "official" support forum is run by a small group of teens who are VERY hostile to new users, to say the least. You can get banned for simply helping a new user by answering their questions!) However, when I switched all of my systems away from Windows, and went with Ubuntu... I continued to ask the uTorrent people when they were going to come out with a version for Ubuntu. But, as I said, "feature requests" are often greeted with terrible hostility at the uTorrent's official forum. Fortunately, I recently discovered a native Ubuntu program that is FAR FAR BETTER than uTorrent. It downloads torrents in 5 minutes.... that took 40 minutes on uTorrent.
So, if you use Ubuntu, be sure to go to Applications—>Add/Remove and find Deluge. 2010 - Torrent Top 40. Updated May 11, 2016.

It isn't often that a new torrent site comes along and actually manages to impress, but Torrent Butler is certainly one worthy of note. The site offers a wide range of movies, presented in a way that's quite refreshing and unique. Born out of frustration with "authorized" movie download sites, Torrent Butler may both frighten and inspire the MPAA's major movie studios. Torrent Butler is one of those sites that is better explained by visiting, rating than describing it. Essentially it is a huge collection of movie torrents presented in a grid of movie posters.
The site lists both regular definition and high definition torrents, and on the film’s detail pages users have access to information about the plot, cast, rating, a trailer and more.

BinTube: The Best Thing Since Napster?
Remember USENET? I do. It was one of my first forays into the Internet. According to Google's archive my first post (at least my first post under my own name, as opposed to my middle school and high school teacher's account) was back in 1995. It was shortly thereafter I learned the joys of flamewars, nettiquette, and inevitably the binary groups. It was soon thereafter that the Web itself made its rise to prominence, and soon binary files and all the fun sort of trafficking that took place on USENET ended up either in IRC, FTP traders and inevitably on the Web itself.
But while illicit Web and FTP traders were getting busted left and right, Shawn Fanning rose to dominance and then experienced his humbling fall from grace, USENET remained a haven for binary trading of all types. NewTeeVee has made a nice little discovery of an application that looks like it could make USENET just as popular as when Google bought DejaNews.
Top 10: Top 10 BitTorrent Tools and Tricks. How to get your missed TV shows with Azureus and Bittorrent. I'll start by saying that I am a paying cable subscriber. Often times there are multiple shows on at the same time that I would like to watch and I wanted a way to be able to watch those other shows. I have a 37 inch Dell LCD TV and enjoy watching as much HD content on it as I can. Hooked up to it via one of the HDMI ports I have a PC which I am using as a media center. It currently has two hard drives in it, a 120GB and a 250GB along with an ATI Theater 550 TV card. I use the TV card to record shows that are not generally in HD content or we don't care that they are in SD, like soaps for my wife. The rest of the shows that we'd like to watch in HD or missed recording we download from the internet using a Bittorrent client as I'll describe now.
My client of choice is Azureus, simply for its ease of use plus I like all the features it has along with the plugins available for it. The first plugin I got was the RSSFeed plugin. Ah, I love being lazy;) How To Encrypt BitTorrent Traffic · TorrentFreak, torrents and more. More and more ISP's are limiting and throttling BitTorrent traffic on their networks.

The Internet is filled with thousands of BitTorrent sites which all search through databases containing millions of torrent files. Today these sites are joined by a new one - BTDigg. However, unlike more traditional torrent search engines, BTDigg searches through files that are found on BitTorrent's DHT network, which is rather unique. According to the site's founders this is a much needed step to further decentralize BitTorrent. To fully grasp the novelty of the newly launched DHT search engine BTDigg, one needs to have some basic knowledge of how regular BitTorrent search engines work. In short, all search engines search through a database of .torrent files, either uploaded by users of their own site, or pulled from other places on the web.
BTDigg does things differently. DHT enables so-called “trackerless torrents”, a feature supported by all major BitTorrent clients. This was also one of the main reasons why BTDigg was launched, the site’s founder told us. MUTE: Simple, Anonymous File Sharing. Following the death of Napster, all of the file sharing networks that rose to main-stream popularity were decentralized. The most popular networks include Gnutella (which powers Limewire, BearShare, and Morpheus) and FastTrack (which powers KaZaA and Grokster).
The decentralization provides legal protection for the companies that distribute the software, since they do not have to run any component of the network themselves: once you get the software, you become part of the network, and the network could survive even if the parent company disappears. All of these networks operate as a web or mesh of neighboring node connections. Your node connects to a few other nodes in the network, and those nodes connect to a few other nodes, which in turn connect to a few other nodes, and so on. This layout is similar to a real-life social network: you know people, and those people know other people, who in turn know other people, and so on.
