Yup, only sites I ever get spyware from are the keygen/serial/crack/patch sites.

Most torrents come with the key in a text file, or pre-patched, so it isn't even necessary to go to the sites. If it doesn't come with the torrent, I can usually find them on a torrent engine. If I MUST go to a crack site, I'll just dual boot into linux and use firefox.

Haven't had problems.

I'd use BitTorrent but my internet is T1 through NTC and since they have a contract on all of the college campus apartments here I can't get Comcast and NTC blocks BitTorrent. NTC is a major pain in the ***.

Comcast isn't much better. It now makes seeding nearly impossible by sending a connection reset message every second. You can leech but that's about it. Have you tried encryption and a different port?
