Honestly, if ur goin down that road, use a torrent client such as Utorrent. If u really want 2 use P2P programs such as Bearshare, go with Limewire, but make sure u always do a virus scan and have peer guardian (available in the software section here on aD) enabled.

To be honest with I don't know which ones to use. I have shareaza and Etomi and both have pluses but both have many minuses. I like Etomi because I can usually find whatever music file I want and it downoloads always with no virus so far. But it seems to be terrible for looking for full albums or movies. It won't even really let you use all the search features to narrow your search because it will actually tell you that your requests are "too specific". I kid you not.

Whatever movie I search for on Etomi Pro never comes up just clips.

Shareaza has all the programs, software, movies and music that I search for but it seems like when I try download a file larger than 100mb then it takes for ever to download just half the file even though some of the connections speeds I see is up to 450bits/second out and 140bits/in but dowload and upload speeds never exceed 45bits/second.

DO NOT DOWMLOAD LIMEWIRE, IT IS NOW KNOWN TO BE BUNDLED WITH SPYWARE!

Use FrostWire:

http://www.frostwire.com/

Its the same program only much cleaner and doesnt come bundled with malware.

If you'd like to get stared with torrent's that would be a good idea also, I only use frostwire for the odd song and thats it, everything else its torrent's I turn to.

Get yourself a client:

BitCommet:

http://www.bitcomet.com/doc/download.htm

Azereus:

http://azureus.sourceforge.net/

uTorrent:

http://www.filehippo.com/download_utorrent/

Pick your client, then you can use any of theese torrent search engines to get your files:

http://torrents.to/

http://www.bitoogle.com/

http://www.btbot.com/

http://www.torrentz.com/

http://www.torrentspy.com/

http://www.torrentportal.com/

http://www.mininova.org/

http://www.bitenova.org/

http://www.torrentbox.com/

http://www.bittorrent.com/

The list goes on really, once you've installed your client, just search for what you want in any of thoose sites and download the .torrent file, TomMelee's BitBible explains everything else you need to know, you can download his great guide here:

That should cover everything, theres plenty of other torrent guides here incase you hit any snags:
