Go here to find what you are looking for Torrents Search Engine Follow the links till you get to a page that says 'download torrent' Right click and copy Go to utorrent and press Ctrl 'U' press enter wait for the next bit to pop up and press enter again. And away it will go |

Install PeerBlock unless you're happy with 'the man' knowing what you're downloading. Search Isohunt for whatever you need, sort it by the 'seeds' column and pick one which has lots of '+' ratings. Read the comments! Don't download anything in .rar format, it'll invariably be a password protected fake. Download the .torrent file, double click it, uTorrent should open and the download should start. Keep sharing even after your download has finished, at least until you reach a ration of 1. | |

I'm a Vuze man myself, you can search for torrents and download directly from within the app. Screwd. |

| some sites - not afaik, isohunt - will block your downloading of .torrent files if you don't maintain a ratio above 1. Most sites don't monitor your ratio... but I guess it's polite to try to maintain a ratio above 1...

And yeah, some sites do insist on a minimum share ratio, not that it matters if they're free and you don't mind creating a new account for each download. | |

| I might be wrong on that; it may be that the developers of PeerBlock took the open source code from the stalled PeerGuardian2 project and did their own thing. The PG2 developers could have restarted PG2 after the offshoot and the two projects could be developing in parallel, I don't know. The PG2 forums do (or did when I last looked) recommend people switch to PeerBlock though.
