This is a list of the software and hardware I use, I have had absolutely no problems with any of it and heres why……

Server

Digitally Evolved is hosted on a server from Voxel. The same folks that host imgur and a handful of other websites. Have to say I love it. Hosted on a Cloud Server and our speeds are insane.

Operating System

This is where I kind of fail. I’m running Windows 7 Professional. Why? Because a lot of applications I use are Windows only (Including the Zune software….but I freaking LOVE my Zune)

Browser

I use Firefox for my web browser because its freaking awesome. I also use AdBlock Plus plugin. I practice safe browsing habits such as not clicking dumb banners because I know I really didn’t win shit on the internet. Its all a scam people. Wise up.

Torrents

uTorrent is what I use for Torrents. That’s about it, oh, and TPB.

Media

Anymore I use the Zune software. I also use Media Player Classic for videos etc. It comes with the K-Lite Codec Pack. Don’t be fooled though, this codec pack is FREE. http://www.codecguide.com/download_kl.htm <- Anybody else is a SCAM.

Obtaining “legal” Music

I’d have to say Torrents are the best for albums, but when I want a file NOW I use Frostwire. There is no bull shit spyware like LimeWire has, and its fast and sexy and connects to the same networks CrapLimeWire does.  As of a few months ago, FrostWire bit the dust. I now have a Zunepass subscription. I’m pleased with it.

I’ll update this page later with more about what I use on my system.
