Beyond the Freezone, there are some other sites out there making big strides for our content-hungry peeps.
If it's music you're after, don't go past the iiNet iTunes Store for unmetered shopping and downloading. Bandcamp Artists and Reverbnation are other great places to find tracks and albums, straight from the people who make them. Alternatively, Bandit.fm lets you to get your hands on high-quality mp3s from big labels and the indie underground.Any gamer worth his salt should hit up Steam, for a huge range of unmetered games and trailers through our 3FL servers. You can also hit up the iiNet GamersHell Mirror, for heaps of Freezoned demos to try before you buy. Also, head to Liberated Games for free, legal game downloads.
Couch potatoes can also make good use of the iiNet iTunes Store with movies, TV episodes, short films and heaps of our own stuff all ready to download. ABC iView streams this week's ABC TV programming free and Freezoned, or you can head to Channel Ten Video to watch full episodes of Channel Ten TV for free. , The Auteurs offers rare cinematic treats, arthouse or films with class.
Software aficionados can easily source drivers, apps, tools and more, cheap or free of charge: CNET Downloads is the most comprehensive source of free and free-to-try software. Giveaway of the Day gives you fully licensed software (with a new giveaway every day). Mac fans can turn to Apple Downloads for easy access to a variety of Mac OS Xapps.
For the best digital media, look to the Internet Archive - find moving images, concert recordings, audiobooks, texts and more - or maybe try Project Gutenberg for free eBooks from around the world. Also be sure to check out Google Books and Open Culture. The best thing about these library archives is that they house copyright-free, copyright-expired, electronic licensed and out of print materials. An absolute goldmine (if you're into that sort of thing).
Apart from all of that, there's nothing wrong with getting into some legal torrents. They get a pretty bad rap, but torrents themselves aren't illegal - they're just a way of sending files across the net. Get your guilt-free fix of entertainment from ClearBits for access to high-quality, open-license film, music and digital media. Happy downloading.
