Gundark, forgive me if I sounded like I was having a dig, I wasn't. I appreciate the frustration at finding these so-called free download sites are trying to rip you off, hell, as it stands most couldn't give a crap as long as people are forced to sign up to contracts that will probably outlive the company offering them.
Maybe it's just me (been an anime fan since the only source was multi-generation vhs) but I find file hosting sites are second best to torrents purely from the point of view that torrents aint trying to rip you off. Having said that sadly the problem mainly stems from the people running the sites and not the uploaders (in most cases)
Peace Bro' ^_^
