  Hi Frank:

A little over a year ago I downloaded a file - 4.3 GB - from what I 
thought was a safe site. After installing the program, my computer 
rebooted by itself and all hell broke loose. I no longer had a 
functioning BIOS. In addition it wiped my hard drives. Checking with the 
site in question, I discovered that the file should have been 3.8 GB.

In my opinion bit torrents are a security issue. Having lost 3 days 
worth of irreplaceable photos from a commercial shoot and the contract, 
it was an expensive lesson for me.

sincerely,
