There isn't a reason to use Azureus specifically. I'd prefer people who haven't used torrents before to try it, cause I think it's easy to set up and use. If you're happy with BitTorrent or BitTornado or whatever else is out there, then by all means use it.
But man, what a way to start out the week. Smith gets cleared, and Mili's dvd's come in the mail! Time to rip these to divx. I found a potential tracker with the help of timBUCK2. I'll upload a test file (DA-Bucks Michigan Highlight reel) and see if that works. If people can get it then I'll start ripping these DVD's to divx at full steam.
EDIT: CHECK OUT THE FIRST POST. I put up a test file on the tracker (
www.thepiratebay.com for anyone interested) and I am currently seeding the file.
