    I don't think the fourm supports p2p sharing. It's illegal and the admins don't want to get into any trouble.

    Like ccbr01 said, NBR doesn't support illegal activies which include P2P and bittorrent (if downloading protected material).

    If you want music, there are several places like ceiph said where you can buy singles and download it.

    Movies/Games -- most are protected, so chances are you won't find any legal solutions there. There are some rent and download movie type sites, but I'm not sure of how good they are.
