WTF is up with torrents

i got a torrent site, but limewire is the only way i can seem to download them, and it's incredibly slow, 3kb per second??? is there a better way?
-------------------- And I said, I don't care if they lay me off either, because I told, I told Bill that if they move my desk one more time, then, then I'm, I'm quitting, I'm going to quit. And, and I told Don too, because they've moved my desk ...four times already this year and I used to be over by the window and I could see the squirrels, and they were merry, but then, they switched from the Swingline to the Boston stapler, but I kept my Swingline stapler because it didn't bind up as much and I kept the staples for the Swingline stapler and its not okay because if they take my stapler then I'll set the building on fire.

how many seeders do you have? the more seeders the faster it will go.

Torrents are the shit. I use Bit Comet.
http://search.isohunt.com is the place to go. 
I also like how you can download a cd, but only choose 3-4 songs that you want off the cd to actually download. extremely convenient

Yeah they have whole genre torrent and band discography torrents but you can go in and just snatch a couple of the ones that you want/like
So if you think you can't find a song or album anywhere it might be hiding in one of those huge torrents

BitComet creates memory leaks and slows down torrents for everybody. Please, do us (and yourself) a favor and download uTorrent.

I use Azureus Vuze.
Works great for me, my favorite torrent program for sure.

eMule ftw. The only p2p that's worth anyone's time.
But for the torrents, utorrent is the way to go.

After using bit torrents the past 2-3 years and loving them, I just switched to usenet and will never ever go back, well, unless I can't find it on usenet.
Usenet maxes out my connection. I've downloaded 37 gigs in the past four days

nobody on what.cd downloads albums. I've been on there for a good two months, and my ratio hasn't changed from hovering below one. I've downloaded probably 5 albums in that time.
Please, if you are on what.cd, download some stuff, for the love of whatever you people believe in these days.
Just saying...
