Bittorrent? Utorrent?

[Rachel]

Which is better?
Do they give viruses?
After I download music, does it go straight to my iTunes?
How do I be careful not to download a virus?

And do I have to use another program like Mininova?

Though Utorrent and Bittorrent look the same and give same speeds,
I would tell you to go for Utorrent since its lighter and give the same results as would get on Bittorrent. I too used Bittorrent once but gave up when i noticed that it introduces a service on the computer which i didn't see as necessary . Also Utorrent gave all those speeds which i asked for
so why look for other options??

If you want to stay safe from viruses then dont download softwares , keygens or cracks as they are the ones which lead to viruses and trojans.

All your downloads go to one location which you specify.
If you want that downloads move to other locations as soon as they finish downloading , then you can change that too.

Utorrent works great for me. Either will download a virus if you tell it...be careful what you download.

To get it to your iTunes folder, chenge the default download location to the iTunes folder, and Tell iTunes to update the library to find the new songs

This is of course for downloading creative commons material right? You wouldn't use torrents to download copyrighted material would you? I didn't think so.
