I've been using Torrents for quite a while without problems. If you use it basically for football games I don't see that being a problem. You should have some kinda of virus scan like Norton or McAfee to scan the system for viruses if that is a concern (which it is).
It doesn't in anyway affect my computer's performance but the files are pretty big so you should have a decent amount of Space available.
Yes it automatically downloads to your harddrive but it is also easy to delete from with the program (eg BitComet) without a problem.
And yes you could burn the games to DVD. Well obviously if you have a DVD burner.
Peong...is trini we talkin about most eh go want to register...dah is too much work
Plus all the uploaded games aren't always on the site. Most times I just use BitComet to find games through the various Torrent sites.
By the way the Barcelona vs Depor game was a good game. Lots of quality goals.
