    I would go with Azureus all the way. Let me explain how torrents work. First, you have the complete file on your computer and you create a torrent file for that file. The torrent file contains the information of the file on your computer, like where it is on your computer, the size, name, etc.

    Then someone uploads the torrent file to a torrent-hosting website. You then download the torrent file and open it with a torrent program. Your program reads the data on the torrent, and tries to communicate with the guy who created the torrent, so you could download it.

    But the website that the guy uploaded it to is keeping track of how many people are trying to download this file, so when it sees you trying to connect, it will keep track of the progress. So now let's say you've downloaded 30% of the file, and someone new wants to download it from a 3rd computer. That person downloads the torrent file and starts the download. But the website knows that not only does the original guy who uploaded the file have it, but now you with 30% complete do. So the 3rd guy can download from BOTH of you and leech off of your file.

    As more people come, more and more people share the file until it's complete. The download speed overall increases, and everyone's not killing their bandwith. Now, seeders are people who have 100% of the file and are sharing. Leechers are people with less then 100%. The more seeders the better, and there HAS to be at least one or you'll never get the file.

    Now, I'd suggest you download Azureus once more, because it's the best I've ever used. And if you need help, they have a HUGE wiki page with lots of help. Then, go to http://torrentspy.com or http://thepiratebay.org and download the torrent of the movie you want. Just do a search (be careful of spelling).

    It's really easy once you get the hang of it, but make sure you read the descriptions and comments of the files because sometimes people put viruses. But a file with a ton of people leeching and seeding is usually a good bet. Also, The Pirate Bay's search function doesn't always work all the time. But I'd say give it a shot. If you have more problems with Azureus I'd be glad to try and help because it's a great program, but like I said, their wiki and FAQ is very in-depth.

    Limewire, torrents, and p2p websites are good sources.

    You just need to be careful of p2p because of the ease of virus spreading. I used to love Limewire, but now I go strictly by torrents, because you can read the comments made by other people who have already downloaded it.

    I agree with you there. Those comments help a lot..you get to know the quality, speed, and if the movie is worth dling.

    Oh definately, and besides, people on those websites have profile names, and people who upload crappy torrents get banned, and eventually you remember the names of the people who upload good quality stuff.

    Plus the seeders/leachers ratio is also a good determiniation.
