UK Nova, of questionable legality. But you can download (some) programs.
If a content provider whines they remove the torrent. However, be aware
that UKN sucks, they have weird rules that require you to upload a
particular volume of content.

You don't have to upload new content. Merely share the content you're
downloading. It's the way many Bittorrent sites work

Duh, you don't say.

You seem to be unfamiliar with UKN though, it's impossible to upload
anything unless one seeds something for the first time.

That never used to be the case - I have never uploaded ANY new content to UKN


It's near impossible to meet them unless
you're going to upload content under circumstances that will leave you
open to prosecution.

The whole point of the upload/download ratio system is to stop people
leeching material from the site without keeping the torrent going.

Yes, I'm taking it that you haven't used UKN, umm ever.

Wrong.. I've been a user for almost three years now and, as I said earlier,
have easily maintained a ratio of well over 1.0 across <checks> 96 torrents
downloaded.
