I find that plain old piratebay works great for me. I have a Mac...and use Transmission and a good virus program. I have had no problems. BUT I only download video/audio via bittorrent. (As opposed to software.) I rarely download movies...which are also more likely to be infected. So far...my anime habit hasn't caused me any issues.
Roaches. Try picking up some caulk and boric acid powder. I lived in an apartment once where my downstairs neighbor had 18 cats and one nervous parrot...and one hell of a roach problem. Which then became MY roach problem. I used my hairdryer to blow that boric acid "roach powder" underneath the cracks in my baseboards...and then ran a bead of caulk around them. Reduced my population of "friends" by almost 80%.
Boric acid in the backs of my cabinets...and in places where I didn't have to worry about a "loose" gerbil getting...like on top of my cabinets...also seemed to help. As does drying out your sink at night and/or making sure your dirty dishes are soaking in really soapy water. Pick up any pet water/food at night. (If you leave any out for your fluffies on the floor.) They need the magic triangle of "places to hide/food/water" to want to live in your unit. Take one away...and the little brown ones will go back to one of your messier neighbors where life is easier. Since they can eat almost anything...including each other...it's easier to get em by taking away their water...and making places to hide less comfortable.
Try librivox if you haven't already. Some of the volunteer readers are really good...and if you haven't read your Austen lately...it's a good way of returning to Merryton...
