So, Mac people, I remember a few weeks ago there was some kind up update thingy that screwed everyone's torrenting up. What's the preferred OSX torrent client these days? Stil Azureus?

Got a question about technology? Ask it here. Discussion of hardware, software, TiVos, multi-region DVDs, Windows, Macs, LINUX, hand-helds, iPods, anything tech related. Better than any helpdesk!
Jess, I'm running Azureus right now, and it seems to be pretty good.
And you can find comic torrents where?
Try demonoid.com. It's hit-or-miss, like going to a used bookstore, but they have a lot.
I've got about 20 porn videos on my computer that I didn't download. I happened to find them in my "my music" folder today when transfering some music over to my other computer. Any idea how they might have gotten there?
Divine intervention?
I'm doubting that... At least, it's not what I would ask for from divine intervention.
Adware, virus ware, malware of some kind or you've been sharing your computer with teenagers - the first two are my personal guess if the last is false.
I've run all that stuff on both of my computers, but looks like I'll need to do another run of them.
I don't share my computer with teenagers...but my roommate (Not!Emily) uses that computer occassionally (actually, Emily does too, but I think she would have fessed up when I laughingly showed her the files). I really doubt he'd download porn onto my computer and forget to erase it. He just seems to have more class than that...especially since it's mine. He's always so appreciative that I let him use the computer.
it might not be intentional. if you don't keep up with updates for spyware and popup blockers on Windows, just going to some sites may download extra stuff to your computer.
As for porn, some music downloads can use unsuspecting people's music sharing bandwidth to store things on your computer for distribution.
What size were/are the porn files?
