One of the major benefits of having an Internet connection is gaining access to a vast repository of files for everyday consumption. Media, computer programs and documents can be readily obtained through different means, such as straightforward downloading, P2P and torrent.

It is basically a matter of accepting more serious annoyances in exchange for a small piece of convenience.
