2. after you install the client, go to torrentspy.com, and you'll see the searchbar and just search for whatever movie/game or w/e, click on the one with the most health or looks most promising by looking at the seeders/downloaders, the more seeders the better cuz that means people have the full download and are uploading it which means you'll be able to get it faster, after you click on the one you want it'll say download torrent and it should be anywhere from like 20 to 100 kb or something, small size its just basically a shortcut

3. open the client, bittorrent or azureus or whatever other bittorrent client you have, and open the small shortcut you just downloaded from torrentspy, it'll ask you where you want to put the file on your hardrive and just press ok and it'll start

thats basically it, i havent used bittorrent in like 2 years so i dont know if its been updated but in azureus you can change the options so that you limit your upload rate and increase your download rate

and yea like apexx said bittorrent is the best way to go for now i think, besides what strobe said with that alt.binaries thing where you call your service provider for something i forgot the name, newsreader or somethin, but im too lazy to figure it all out and i dont pay the bills so it would be harder =/, even though its supposed to be better cuz nobody can see your IP thus less chance of getting caught

oh and you have to use common sense in the certain things you download cuz people try to trick you sometimes, if you know the basics you'll be fine which is dvds are usually 600mb and up, i wouldnt trust a dvd copy of movie being any less then that, game's are high too newer games definately in the gig's, and also READ THE COMMENTS definately, cuz for movies like bootlegs people post pictures sometimes and they rate video/audio quality of the movie, and with game's or applications theyll tell you if it works or not, and if people have problems other people will usually help them fix it so you could find a solution if you cant get it working
