You have to pay for good piracy now because more people are clued up.

easynews.com - then use http://secure.members.easynews.com/global

the other one I use is file servers and forums. So a person will post a song, album or discography, and links to the downloads on a given public server. This is pretty popular for bigger things like movies and games.
rapidshare is used a lot less now because of it's popularity so maybe try
filesonic.com, wupload.com or maybe even megashares...this method takes a bit more intelligence though. Use filestube.com for a pretty wide web based search of the forums posting what you want.

The easynews method is so easy, just log in, search, download. And you can create custom online zip files with collections of music, games, videos...etc

Then there's bit-torrents, which are free and popular. but if you're into hipster music that's hard to find you wont have much luck with bit torrents because they are entirely hosted by regular people.

Then filesharing p2p programs like limwire or kazaa and napster back in the day. these are great for one-off music tracks...but expect viruses if you're on windows. I remember being part of a couple of private DC++ servers (a filesharing program) and that REALLY kicked arse. So much shit on those but you need to be invited to private ones somehow. Public ones are OK, but same as typical firesharing programs - viruses and fakes and junk.

You can even choose IRC (chat rooms) and find a lot of shared stuff there, although it's kind of fiddly to search and use, and you have to find the right rooms for what you want.

If you want more detailed info (or help) on any of these just PM me, it's the least I could after what you've done for me. Cheers

I use Freefox! Quicker to load than Frostwire, a bit more user friendly too

Zultrax P2P used for years..sometimes a funny one downloaded but 90% good.

no no,

P2P like limewire and torrents and all of the other versions allways had too much crap and virus and bad quality and risk of that letter from your ISP about copyright laws.

Youtube people it is better and if you have a smart phone you get the video too.

Sorry should explain more.
Use a whats called a "Youtube Downloader" lots of different types on Google remember Google is your friend. (i wouldn't want to be seen promoting a particular one)

When you are on youtube it already downloads a .flv file which youtube uses as a format and it is normal this happens when ever you watch a video.
But we all know the video disappears after you watch it.

All the "youtube downloader" does is allows you to save that .flv file and convert it to other files like a
AVI (xvid)
MPEG (mpeg-1)
MP4 (for all ipods ect)
MP3 for all players
you can select from LQ240p to HD1080p for the video file.

The side problem is that all the info you normally get with your itunes ACC file is not there, I know i don't care for all that crap and just want the song. It is a bit like recording the "hits" off the radio with a blank tape off the radio on a tape deck. LOL you even have to name the file yourself.

If you have trouble ironically youtube have step by step videos on how to use a downloader they are always changing as they get taken down.

Good method but shame about YouTube audio quality :(

I am a member of 2 other torrent sites that are private and invite only, unfortunately I haven't been there long enough to send an invite code...

Don't you find there's less people seeding, since the torrent files are restricted to members? Or are the same torrent files available to the public elsewhere?

Most torrents are well seeded, but trackers are loaded from similar or the same torrents elsewhere, the 2 private torrent sites are XPatriots and Demonoid

piratebay is a good source for everything (music, movies etc...)

[Throwdown!]

Realplayer will download almost any video (including YouTube) on the Net, with one click. I just download the music videos I want and play them onto my big screen TV.

Realplayer is always trying to get you to subcribe to their video movies etc... but it's crap - avoid. The free stuff is all you need. Unstable with Firefox, so use with IE.

Try mp3 rocket pro. I'm not sure of the cost to sign up now but I've had it for about 3 years and built my music collection with it. Option to put stuff straight into itunes if you need to use it and now has the ability to download youtube files and convert to whatever you want. I have found it a bit quicker than torrent sites but sometimes a lucky dip on what you get. Haven't had any virus problems so far.

Yes through U-Torrent - use it all the time
