| OS X and Bit Torrent. Help please. |
|
I tried to download Bit Torrent but found the whole thing very confusing.
Can someone walk me through it?
Much appreciated in advance.

1. Get a BitTorrent client. I like Azureus.
2. Download the torrent file.
3. Open it up with the client and choose where you want to save the downloads.
4. That's it.
Let me know if you need more help. I BitTorrent almost non-stop.

| 3. Well, it depends on what you're interested in. |
|
There's lots of different sites specializing in lots of different stuff. There isn't any all-encompassing search.
I know of a lot of places, so tell me what you're interested in, and I'll try to point you the right way.

| 10. For all Mac stuff, go to torrentskickass.com |
|
It is the best! Sorry, but you do need an invitation, but they are not hard to get. Ask around any Mac board to get one. I would try macserialjunkies.com. For MP3s, use google! Just type in your search followed by "filetype:torrent" to get a torrent of that one!

| 4. Well, finding torrents is the hardest part... |
|
The only things I download are South Park episodes and Mac programs... To get South Park ones, I go to mrtwig.net, and for Mac stuff, I go to torrentskickass.com. Anyway, Azureus is the best, if a bit slow to start up. Don't get discouraged if your download does not get going for a few minutes... for me it does, but after it gets going, it is very reliable.

I don't have any left, but if you ask around you may be able to find one.
