As you may or may not be aware, when you're at University they reccommend that you purchase certain books to help you along with the information on the course. Obviously I have better things to be spending money on (booze, toiletries, etc) and I'd love to save some money here and there so why not torrent the books instead?
If you can nudge me in the direction of some good websites which share a lot of books, I'd be very grateful. They don't even have to be Torrents, they could be direct links or whatever. As long as I can search for something and download it, I'll be happy :thumbsup:

Your uni should have a network you can access from home that will allow you to access the books online.
When I did my post grad, I bought two books, but only because they were so cheap on amazon it would have cost me more in time printing them off. Plus, if you print a book off yourself, it inevitably turns into a big pile of unsorted papers.
It is here too, but with the massive amount of people who have gone to uni who should not really have gone - not being an educational snob here, but people go for the sake of going rather than learning - lecturers realise that most will not even bother to seek out books and so they spoon feed them with photocopies of the parts of the books they need to read so people pass the course.
One of the reasons I work in industry rather than academia.

Also, i find text-books in normal torrent engines. Usually if they are sem-popular books they are there. isohunt.com
your school probably has access to the safari online (O'rielly books). Will be helpful if you are doing IT/ICT subjects.
