Hello Jimi, welcome to Mobileread.

I'm sorry to tell you but this kind of question is actually frowned upon here. Downloading books from torrents sites is illegal and we try to keep Mobileread clear from that sort of things. So I would suggest that if you are into adquiring your ebooks from that source you refrain from mentioning it here so that the community avoids the unwanted attention.

Cheers

"Downloading books from torrents sites is illegal"

No, it isn't. Downloaded copyrighted books from torrent sites without the rights holder's permission is illegal. But there is nothing illegal whatsoever about torrenting as a means of distribution, and you should not make such incorrect statements.

I was going for the "don't mention downloading ebooks from the dark side here" kind of point.
