Honestly, too many people use BT. Hop onto usenet, and you never have to share again. No stupid elitist BT sites requiring invites, no stupid ratios - just download.
Also sites like Rapidshare, $$$$$$$$$$, Hotfile and so on are fast and not really that expensive.
If you arent downloading that much just download a program called jdownloader and find sites that upload to multiple servers. You should be able to get away with just using the free services then.
