What's wrong with the torrents? I downloaded F8 that way the other day at a
very healthy pace.
Hi Frank:
A little over a year ago I downloaded a file - 4.3 GB - from what I
thought was a safe site. After installing the program, my computer
rebooted by itself and all hell broke loose. I no longer had a
functioning BIOS. In addition it wiped my hard drives. Checking with the
site in question, I discovered that the file should have been 3.8 GB.
In my opinion bit torrents are a security issue. Having lost 3 days
worth of irreplaceable photos from a commercial shoot and the contract,
it was an expensive lesson for me.
sincerely,
