Aside from torrents.

torrent ftw and yes you can choose which files you want before DLing. Of course, this is all hearsay and in no way have I done this personally.

torrents are legal. it's the contents which may or not be legal

utorrent with peerguardian

I've never had a problem but I don't think it protects much or at all against viruses.

peerguardian i believe is a program that runs with your torrent program to either block or scramble your ip address so its harded for the feds to find you

peer guardian takes known spyware, education, government, etc. IP addresses and blocks your computer from connecting to them during P2P download sessions. basically, disallows big brother from watching what you download, because you'll have never downloaded anything straight from them.
