    I use this to download hard-to-find music only. There's BitTorrent for videos, and I don't mind downloading most mp3s and zip files from my browser.

    It's tricky to use this without catching a virus - but it can be done and is a great app when you can.

    Great for getting mp3 files nothing more (use bittorent or ed2k for large files aka movies games and applications)
