Not sure why you\'d be having trouble with Bit Torrent. I use Azureus, and don\'t seem to have any problems, as long as someone is seeding the show. As far the archive.org, I did have problems a few months ago. Now I\'m downloading via FTP and and the downloads fly. Hope that helps.

Well Gabo first, step away from the Bong.
It should be easier from there.

Ooooh never.  THE ONE pc i had died after two years cause of a virus.   Every Mac i\'ve had lasted. And never ever had one virus.  I had a Mac Performa between 1995 and 2001.  It was legendary.

Virus\'s are mostly written to attack Windows based computers.  Why?  Because Windows based computers make up a majority of the market.  A virus programmer wants his virus to spread as rapidly and as widespread as possible.  To do this you specifically target Windows users.  Mac\'s aren\'t safer or virus-resistant computers.  They are simply being ignored (for now).  However with the increase in popularity of Macs, things will soon change.

As for virus protection, I use McAfee.  Costs me just $35 a year to  protect 2 computers.  It\'s so worth it.

Just wanted to add my 2 cents.  :)

What exactly happens when you are trying to download from the Archive ?

I am currently sitting in front of a mac running leopard so if you want to post some links to troublesome downloads I can see if I can recreate the problem
