I've tried three shareware programs and was only able to capture a few tracks and had my computer get adware put on it...so I'm looking to go in another direction.

I see that the entire Pimsleur package is available at ebay as an audiofy chip?

What is that? Is it something I can plug in and burn CD's off of with no problem?

Here is the link:

That's expensive. The files are on the chips which you put in the USB Chip Player (plugged into your USB port). Looks like their price includes the USB Chip Player but why pay almost $400 for all of that but you can transfer the files to your CDs or mp3 player if thats what you want.

For cheaper... you can use http://www.torrentspy.com to search for Pimsleur Spanish and use Bit Torrent from http://www.download.com/BitTorrent/3000-2196_4-10601590.html?tag=lst-0-3 to download Pimsleur Spanish. You can burn them to CDs or burn to your mp3 player. Voila.

Make sure you scan your hard drive for viruses and trojan horses pre and post download as a precaution.

To save time here are the steps:

1. First download Bit Torrent 5 to your hard drive here :

http://www.download.com/BitTorrent/3000 ... ag=lst-0-3



2. Go here http://www.torrentspy.com/torrent/24759 ... _Spanish_1

Click "Download torrent" --> save to your Bit Torrent software.

3. Open Bit Torrent. Click "File" then "Add bit torrent" then the files will start downloading.

Either way. Mucho luck! :lol:

NFlorida...Thanks for the advice and explicit instructions.

On the torrentspy site they have this announcement:

-
There has been an infestation of popups and viruses appearing on the site lately. This is not something we are doing, it happens because one (or more) of the ad networks we are working with is being dishonest with you.
-

I have a program called eTrust antivirus that scans my computer for viruses and downloads some kinds of protection, but it apparently doesn't protect me against spyware and adware because I have some pop up every time I start up. I'm pretty sure I got from fooling around on these file sharing sites.

So I was wondering if there is any free and trustworthy security software that I can download in order to run before and after using bit torrent.

Thanks again...

Bookie -

I use a variety of "internet condoms" to prevent viruses and spyware from attacking and infilitrating. Here are free ones which I use -

AVG Anti-Virus Free Edition 7.5.4: http://www.download.com/AVG-Anti-Virus-Professional/3000-2239_4-10385707.html

Spybot Search & Destroy: http://www.download.com/Spybot-Search-Destroy/3000-8022_4-10401314.html?tag=list

Ad Aware Personal Edition: http://www.download.com/Ad-Aware-SE-Personal-Edition/3000-8022_4-10399602.html?tag=list

y

Spyware Blaster 3.5.1: http://www.download.com/SpywareBlaster/3000-8022_4-10486084.html?tag=list

Free anti-pop up software can be found here:

http://www.download.com/3150-7786_4-0-1-0.html?qt=&author=&titlename=&desc=&dlcount=&daysback=&swlink=&gfiletype=&os=&li=49&dlsize=&ca=

I do before and after and it helps :lol:
