Beginner's Guide to BitTorrent

Want to expand your access to various resources through the most popular p2p protocol?

Get started here!

At the above link, you'll also find a download link for my BitTorrent client of preference, utorrent - it uses the least system resources out of any clients I know, while still maintaining great functionality.

After you learn about BitTorrent and download utorrent as your BitTorrent client, what then? Well, find a torrent site of course!

You may have heard of public sites such as Mininova and The Pirate Bay. The advantages of these sites are that they tend to offer a broad assortment of content as well as the latest releases. The disadvantages are that they are public - possibly open to anti-p2p groups and feds - and have slower download speeds. So what're the alternatives?

Check out the latest private sites open for signup here. Also, I and other members have several invites to the (semi) private site, Demonoid. (Check out the requests section.)

Still have questions? Post in this thread! :)

Props for starting this..!

I finally figured out how to seed torrents earlier this year, and it was not nearly as hard as I thought it would be...As ne0 said, if you need some help, ask..!
