I'd like to download Grand Turimo, and as an ipod film can be 500mb, it shouldnt take too long.

I have 12 series of South Park, 7 of Family Guy, 4 of American Dad and a load of films on my iPod. I do lots of travelling on the train I use DVDFab to copy from DVD to iPod format, or Handbrake to convert avis.

I'm using videorama now, cheers.
I also tried doing a megaupload search, typed in gran torino, and hey presto, loads of files.
I always associate torrents with viruses and try to avoid them.

Torrents are OK until your ISP tracks them!

I use Winnydows. A normal film of 700mb takes about half hour to convert to iPod format putting the file size to around 300-400mb. Works perfect for me

My rule for downloading torrents is I only use certain sites, and read the feedback comments, worked for me for a few years now
