[QUOTE="ki99, post: 750243, member: 31961"] first off, you should always have your firewall on. the firewall prevents other actual users from entering your system, the operating system is usually fairly irrelevant. but you should only really use anti-virus if you connect to a windows network, while you may not be able to infect your system, the virus could move along your network to a windows machine. as for torrenting, i recommend transmission it is very lightweight and efficient. [url=http://www.macupdate.com/info.php/id/19378]Transmission 1.34 - MacUpdate[/url] for the video, there is a very lovely little player (for windows as well as os x) called vlc, it will play pretty much anything.
