I'm looking for some advice on broadband. Basically is it worth getting and is the whole peer to peer file sharing thing all it is cracked up to be? Are there plenty of Brit porn things to be found??

Broadband simply means that you access/download many times faster than a normal 56k modem.
The content available to is exactly the same as anyone else with access to the internet.

Yeh Marcus. I know what your saying. What I'm trying to establish is the peer to peer file sharing all it's cracked up to be. e.g. Will I be able to gain access to the latest films. or is it a lot of pish.

Ranger,
I have no idea what you are talking about re "peer to peer"
The internet is the interbet and open to all.
As I said, all Broadband does, is allow you to access/download much quicker.
File sharing is a totally different thing, but STILL has NO relevance to Broadband. All Broadband does is allow you to access/download quicker, which can affect the quality of downloaded files?pics/vids.
You may neeed a special program to deal wqith this, but it will not cost you.
It is readily available on the same, said internet.
Broadband DOES NOT give you magical qualities or open up new worlds, IT SIMP;LY MAKES THINGS QUICKER.

Marcus,
peer to peer is simply things like Kazaa, Imesh etc - e.g. you can share files with people who are connected into the Kazaa network. Have you ever heard of this?? Do you use it?? Is it any Good??

It's piracy whether it's good or not; so be careful who you ask.

Is a P2P like good...Yes & No
On the Downside
Finding material is a lottery because many uploaders don't take the time to fill in an accurate desciption of videos,pictures etc
As I found the quality varies..no guarantee of the whole scene complete
Even if you have broadband-if you are trying to download from me(56k) it
will come at my rate.If I'm the only one with the file and my computer is turned off-bad luck
As we speak P2Ps are being sued by the Music Industry for Piracy so IMO its only a matter of time before they perish
On the Goodside
No Spyware/Adware attached
There is a vast amount of material
cheers
