You will need to download BitComet or one of the others. Then head to the pirate bay, find what you like and click download. Make sure whatever you choose has plenty of seeds or you will be there forever.Allegedly.

They work by taking a copyright protected file such as the latest cinema release or must have album and smashing it up into about a billion different little fragments or ''pieces'' as they are known in the trade.

 

When someone uploads a file to a torrent site they have %100 of these pieces in their possession. A person who has all the pieces is known as a ''Seeder''. The torrent site then takes the uploaded file and creates a torrent file for it - which tells the person who has the torrent file the directions to retrieve each piece of the file they are after.

 

Once you have one or more pieces of the file you become a ''peer''. People who have the torrent can retrieve pieces from both peers and seeders so they can reconstruct it for themselves. Once you get all the pieces of the file you become a ''seeder'' and you continue to make the file available for sharing - this is the process known as seeding. Only newfags do not seed after DL reaches 100%. Its common courtesy to continue to seed until your download to upload ratio reaches a minimum of 1.

 

The beauty of the system lies in the fact that the sharing of the file becomes more effcient the more people who are downloading.

 

The best torrent engine IMHO is bit torrent 7.0

 

The best site for torrents IMHO is http://www.isohunt.com/

 

Only an idiot however would download copyrighted material using a torrent site naked i.e. without using an IP blocker > I suggest you visit here to get one: http://www.peerblock.com/

 

Enjoy downloading copyrighted material Dynamo lad...

Must be nearly 10 years now I've been hooked up to broadband internet. I still have no idea what a bit torrent is.

Your too clever a cunt for me im afraid...

I used to use isohunt, which basically searches a load of other torrent sites and seems to bypass having to sign up for ages.

 

Stopped using it when I remembered I like the physical object of a music cd, I like my computer not being full of viruses and I prefer not to break the law.

Seems like a pain in the arse, I just bought the album instead.
