I don't think I'm allowed to give names of sites, but seeing as torrent programmes are legal, I can give some recommendations.

A good one, personally, is Bit torrent. I used to use Vuze, however recently I've been having problems with it...

uTorrent is small client. I find it doesn't give as high speeds, and can take a while to connect, but doesn't slow down your computer as much. As always, be careful of what you download. Common sense > anti virus.

Not illegal, could be used for legal purposes. So it should be allowed.
uTorrent, the speed can be altered to result in high speeds. I download at 2 GB/s +.
Bittorent
Some P2P programs (Ares, etc.)

Linux:
Vuze

Just google search it. Find many more results.

I would also reccomend Bit torrent i use it alot never had any issues, again as the user said before just be careful of downloads, check comments amount of seeders - leechers, if your unsure you can always use sandboxie

Yeaaaaa I don't think so

People will say it's buggy or unstable, but it's never crashed once for me, so I recommend Transmission QT. It's extremely simple, lightweight, and easy to use. My one complaint is that it looks wierd with my theme.

i usually use vuze for the streaming support to my 360 and other devices on my network but for actual downloading i use rtorrent [ Register or Signin to view external links. ] it has a nice webui that you can remote into rather easily and manage from anywhere as well as being rather light weight.

1clickdownloader, people say its a virus but clearly isnt since many people dont use it aspect high download speeds. Its legit and works

It installs adware. I suggest you uninstall it ASAP and not recommend that people download malware in the future.

Thanks guys and I didn't install anything yet and yeah my friend downloads stuff alot but he got some virus that he could only run his computer in safe mode and couldn't access the Internet and I know to be careful with what I download because I don't want a dead pc haha
