What's the best Mac client at the moment? I was getting on OK with Xtorrent but it went shareware.

I concur: Azureus used to work well on my mac at my old job (where all the ports were open!), everything is firewalled now so can't dl at work. But it worked well except the version that would cause a kernel panic but they've fixed that now.

Careful with your Oink invites - they'll ban YOU if the person you gave the invite to takes the piss.

The piracy scene has always been uptight and elitist. The way it is now is 1,000,000x more accessible than it was a decade ago, where you had to chat up people to get accounts on ftp's or bbs's unless you wanted to wait on an irc bot for three weeks before part one of your download startedalef said:

The irony of the arrogance of people dealing in piracy was not lost on me.
Oink only bans you if your invitee cheats their ratio, not if they just get a bad ratio.

I'm about to download uTorrent...good/bad?
Do I need an invite to places like mininova?

Oh, and I've got a dynamic, not static IP address thru BeThere...will this make a difference?

utorrent is great. Tiny footprint (single executable!) and runs like lightning. Works fine on my Be box, just assign the application rule to your computer in the router's setup and you're away.
utorrent is infact so good that I have eschewed all the native linux torrent apps and use that through wine instead

Go to your router in your web browser: http://192.168.1.254
Click "Home Network", click on your computer (they should all be in Windows names), choose "Assign a game or application to a local network device" at the bottom, choose BitTorrent and make sure your utorrent port is set to 6881.

Ah ha..I take it I can't change ports during a download? When I started the default port was open, but now it seems to have shut down while torrenting.
And OK, is there a sub menu where I can alter the port setting in explorer, or is it in uTorrent?
Sorry, but I'm about at my geek limit with this stuff...
AHHH, my geek limit has increased by the simple act of looking in the menus until I found 'Port'...

http://www.videohelp.com/guides tells you how to do every possible combination of video conversion.
I can't really be much more help without knowing what you downloaded, what format it is, whether it's files or an iso, etc. etc. etc.

Quick question...why the up speed higher than the downspeed? Had this the last two torrents I've dl'd...is it cos there's loads of leechers on the files I;m torrenting? Also, what's a social share ratio? At the moment mines 1.103...

That's pretty much it - you start uploading from the moment you've got a part, so if there's a swarm of leechers and a few seeders you can end up uploading more than you download.
An acceptable ratio is 1.0 - you've uploaded and downloaded the same amount. Anything more than that depends how nice you feel like being. Some of mine are seeded to 38

1) What is the best all round client?
2) What are the best sites to use that don't require an invite?
Please and thankyou
1) uTorrent - but if not downloading much then Bit tornado is very quick.
2) miniova.org or piratebay.org
