I love bittorrent. To be honest, it's pretty much all I use the
internet for now. If you have a 1GB limit on your ADSL, it's probably
not much use. Most files on torrents weigh in at 500meg+ otherwise
it's hardly worth it.

I use it to download all sorts of things that I probably shouldn't. I
find it handy  to be able to download television programmes that I
missed, and  it's useful having access to american series that havn't
been aired over here yet - Lost season 2 for example.
