If you do a search on http://ts.kurtubba.com/ you can find a few torrent sites that have that movie, but none of them have many seeds so it'll take quite a while to download.

Since my ISP put a cap on my bandwidth I've been avoiding bittorrent since it requires you to upload while you download. Instead I've been getting everything I need from newsgroups. You can find Le Samouraï on alt.binaries.movies.zeromovies if you have access to a good usenet server like easynews.com.

Bummer. I'm constantly downloading shows, radio programs, the occasional movie, and streaming audio, so that would be painful for me.

Is it supposed to be good?

I actually just rented the other day on impulse.
Haven't watched it yet.

Yeah, it's lame, but I've adjusted my downloading habits enough that I can still get pretty much everything I want. It just means I have to be a stingy bastard and not share as much as I'd like to.

Demonoid, TorrentLeech, TorrentBytes, TorrentIt... these are normally invite only, but they sometime prune accounts and open the doors on weekends.

crappy. i have internet through them too, so hopefully they dont cut me off.

btw, anyone who wants a demonoid account can let me know. they only limit them because of server load.

So what's the best torrent client?

I'm using Azureus right now but I can't figure it out very well. If I try downloading any more than 2 movies at the same time, the rest automatically go into Queued.

azureus is a resource hog, so only run it if you can handle it. theres also µtorrent, which is on the other end of the scale. very fast, very small, not a resource hog at all. for your azureus problem, select tools, options, queue on the left side at the bottom and then change the max simultaneous downloads settings on the right.

I have found this to be the best, by far. You can change how many torrents you can DL at a time in the prefs. N. Soul's instructions are perfect.

I'm on a mac so I can't speak for mu-torrent, but I hear that's very good as well.

It was great. Definitely worth searching for.
