Should RomU have a torrent section

MitsukaiXxXThen your stupid.
You obviously have no experiacne with torrents.
And they can only have viruses if the maker puts them in the torent.
WHY WOULD WE PUT VIRUSES IN OUR OWN TORRENTS!!!!!!!!!Grrrrrrrrrrrr.......everyone who voted no,dont understand torrents.
n00bs

I understand them, but on The Pirate Bay they have tons of torrents with viruses.

The thing is *everyone* can upload on TPB, so you are just as likely to get viruses there as you are with rapidshare links and other forums of file sharing. On RomUlation only the admins can upload ROMs, so it's controlled what is available for download. If RomUlation had a torrent site it would not be free-for-all on uploading.

Ive been downloading torrents for 5 years now,and ive downlaoded and upload terrabytes after terrabtyes worth of content.
Including programs,cracks,patches,keygens etc etcViruses are commonly found in software torrents.
So you aint gonna downlaod a torrent from the bottom of a list from a unknown torretn site,coz then your just asking for it.And Ive NEVER cought a virus,because im torrent smart,and i use my commonsenseSites like PB and isohunt give you the option of sorting by seeders,so you go for the popular torrents.
And if they have a virsus,its either a false posative(where prgrams think a keygen,crack etc etc contains a virus because it behaves like a virus) or your using shite AV liek Nortan or AVG.Come on guys,if you dont know how to use,or have little knowledge of torrents,dont vote.Also i second what Seph said :)
Speh and Looney will be the ones who make the torrents,so ther is a 100% guarantee that it will be virus free :)P.S thanks for those who voted yes :)

This was the subtle point behind what I said, I'm glad someone else put it for me.

TPB needs an account for upload.

Torrents are from top to bottom sealed with viruses. And Ive NEVER cought a virus,because im torrent smart SO?,and i use my commonsense WTFH?Sites like PB and isohunt give you the option of sorting by seeders,so you go for the popular torrents. WTF does it matter with safety?And if they have a virsus,its either a false posative(where prgrams think a keygen,crack etc etc contains a virus because it behaves like a virus) or your using shite AV liek Nortan or AVG. I have a trojan on my PC because of a keygen, I've deleted it, but I still have it. AVG is no shit.Come on guys,if you dont know how to use,or have little knowledge of torrents,dont vote. I disagree, everyone may vote.

I filled it in from the bottom to the top.

But ANYONE can make an account, so that is irrelevant.

Replying to #66

Pissed again :oBut that's true...

Yoshi....I aint gonna go head on with opinions...Its a fricking great idea...Viruses or no viruses.....the .nds files will have no virsues....I got seph on my side saying its a great idea.(The keygen you had isnt a virus trust me, ALL keygens say they are viruses but are actually not)

Back to topic please, I don't really care whether you got a virus from a torrent or not. This topic is about RomUlation adding torrents. Viruses has no bearing on this.

if seph liked it and there is no problem.
then why don't you simply add the torrents?after all the autority is you and the mods is your site so you can choose if you want or not the torrent no?the opinion of the users is a bit irrelevant in the end

Soz Seph@^
Only problem is that seph aint got much time(soz for speaking for you seph)But maybe he should put up a announcment calling for helpers :)

isn't enough with the mods?

no debates...just discussing.So speh would you be up for making the torrent section then :)

Well I'm all go for it, I'll happily seed whatever I download. The only thing I can now think of, for people saying no, is the people who have a slow connection as it doesn't affect them or don't have common knowledge of Torrents.

YoshiFlipI agree.I do not agree with the section, so I voted No.

EXACTLY WHAT I'VE BEEN SAYING!Sheesh, when will people bloody learn ::)I think however if the existing roms are as they are (anything below 700mb to be a direct download) and everything else starting from gamecube to be torrented, I think it'll be great, if the torrents are only done by romU staff, it's gonna be safe as hell.Get used to change people!

I 100% agree

MitsukaiXxX · #73So speh would you be up for making the torrent section then :)

Not at the moment no.

Replying to #77

But perhaps a future possibility?

Some guys say that torrents have virus.
And some of you guys are lucky.
I will be happy to have 50kbps download speed. :(
