3. You need websites (trackers) to get things.
You can't just plug something into a search bar.. This works well for popular files..

see: http://btfaq.com/serve/cache/3.html

for a list of sites see..
http://del.icio.us/tag/bittorrent

Keep in mind bittorrent is good for getting big (popular) files fast. Not for finding the one song that was popular in 1987.

5. Do you use Imesh?
If so, I cry for your computer. iMesh installs more of the most unbelievably difficult to remove spyware programs than I've ever seen. If it wasn't a friend's machine, I would have formatted it on the spot.

BitLord is a good BitTorrent client. www.bitlord.com
