No, you can still use Torrents, just use google to find out which P2P Programs run on macs.

LOL, how could you have mixed up the fact that you have a mac with what firmware you have? Haha...
But, as you'll have probably heard, iso's, homebrew, emulators and everything else only work on 1.50 or a custom firmware, you'll have to downgrade =)
In theory a downgrade should only stand as much chance of bricking your psp as an official update, but then again, there are a lot more bricks from downgraders. Many are down to user error though.
You can use this downgrader for 2.71. If you follow the instructions then you'll have a very low chance of bricking.

Well, to open the file you'll need a program that opens .rar files (on windows there is winRAR, not sure what there is on mac) and yes, it's an .exe, if you don't have a way to run it i could try find a downgrader you run straight from the PSP.
For running any ISO games (eg the game Bleach you mentioned) it's easiest to upgrade to a custom firmware (i'd suggest 3.40 OE-A for now) as you can run ISO's striaght from the Game folder on the XMB.

You run custom firmware updates a bit like the official firmware updates, apart from that there are a couple of extra steps, as first the program has to combine firmware 1.50 and the official version of the custom firmware it's upgrading to.

No problem, but let's learn to walk before we can run :)
First you need to downgrade to 1.50, if you have a way of running the .exe then it should be easy, the installer talks you through everything. After you've got to 1.50 i'll guide you through upgrading to 3.40 OE-A.
First of all (sorry i forgot to mention it before) but if you have a TA-082 motherboard you can't use the downgrader i linked above. To check if you have a TA-082 check your UMD drive as shown in this picture:

All you need the internet for is to download the files, the installer doesn't need to connect.
And yes, i use MSN, i'll PM you my hotmail address if you want it.
