Too late you already admitted it, an agent will be at your door at dawn tomorrow.
Thank you for all the info everybody! I have to think about this. Oh yea,,,everyone knows that the FBI doesn't show up at dawn, it's gonna be more like ten ish!!

Apparently in Dallas they like 5am. There were a few datacenters in the Dallas area hit by this "investigation."

I'm dead to the world at 5 AM.

And that is why they do it that early in the morning. If you are slow moving and confused it is less risky for them AND you may reveal things you wouldn't under normal circumstances.

I too have been using torrents for a few years now. It's awesome. I've been able to find a slew of disney music this way. Also, you can find very cool items such as tv soundtracks, which include every song played in a particular season of a show. It can save you thousands in cd's and movies too, which you can download.

I like torrents. I have found many wonderful additions to my music collection via using them.

^ As have I. Thanks to Martin Smith's site I have pretty much all the EPCOT music and videos I ever wanted.
