Personally, I use Azureus. I've never tried any others, but I hear it's one of the best. Open source, to.

I use Azureus but as a Mac user my options are somewhat limited when compared to the Windoze world. Most Windows users seem to favour Azureus or Bit Comet...

Bit Tornado works fine for me.

Thanks for the recommendations everyone.

My new PC should hopefully be arriving today, so I can get something sorted out.

uTorrent works great. I used to use Azureus but certain sites like Dime a Dozen wont let you use it anymore.

PS. uTorrent is very fast

You can still use Azureus with Dime... you just have to follow the rules:

Azureus has introduced DHT (Distributed Hash Table) technology to its client starting with version 2.3.x.x. µTorrent follows this scheme starting with version 1.2.1.x. Using DHT will harm your DIME share ratio and violates our tracker rules as we can't take care of banned torrents terminating timely. Thus, torrents which are not DHT-safe (all torrents uploaded before May 13, 2005, 15:00 GMT) may not be used with these clients. Users known to use these clients will not be able to download a DHT-unsafe torrent, announcements of these clients for such torrents will not be accepted by the trackers. If you want to download/leech/seed a DHT-unsafe torrent, do the following:

-- Install a different client (i.e., BitTornado, ABC) or a version of Azureus prior to 2.3.x.x resp. µTorrent prior to 1.2.1.x.
-- Start any torrent with this client and wait for the client to do its first announcement. Stop the torrent.
-- Download the .torrent file you want to have and run it.
-- Restart all other of your torrents.

Something that I'm not going to do anymore...

What I was referring to was mixing the best frequencies from each of our various recordings together to create the best sounding final product.

I heard from my brother that the Stratford, ON show had the hip play 2 songs off the new album.
In view and another one. I'd be really neat to hear these songs before the album comes out. Is there any way someone can post a mp3 of those

Edit :nvm I read that live reneditions of new songs won't be posted till after the albums release. Still it would be nice

No recordings from the 2006 tour will be shared until the album is released on October 17. That was a friendly request from The Hip and as a collective we have been honouring it.

Come October 17 all sorts of goodies will be shared.

Are you drinking Guiness in that picture, Chris?

I'm looking forward to seeing/hearing all these shows come October!

Yes indeed I am drinking a Guinness in the photo, Zenith. That photo is getting old; it was taken in June 2002 at "Tony Lowry's" pub in Tipperary, Ireland.

Ah, PROPER Guinness from the Ireland and everything. Excellent!

I like Guinness, but it gives me a stinking headache in the morning sadly.
