Just like normal ones only they say sponsored result and thats exactly what they do.

To stop them, simply don't click on sponsored result's :)

BluRay, he has Limewire PRO, it may be or may not be a malware infested peice of "crap", you need to ask what version they have first :)

Why dump Limewire when they have a clean version that thye are happy with?

I agree with you BluRay and as for the advice about asking for the versions, your welcome m8 :)

Just incase this talk of torrents has interested you, I'll give you a insight and not leave you high and dry tayshun12 :)

Heres some good clients:

All clients do the same thing, its all down to personal preference at the end of the day, there are some simelarities and differences
but its personl preference that win's it, I prefere uTorrent myself.

BitCommet:

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

(BitCommet is being banned by most trackers)

Azereus:

http://azureus.sourceforge.net/

uTorrent:

http://www.utorrent.com/download.php

ABC [Yet Another Bittorrent Client]

http://pingpong-abc.sourceforge.net/

BitTornado

http://bittornado.com/

Allways make sure you run Peer Gaurdian 2 when downloading off anywhere to keep yourself
safe, Its pretty much essential.

http://phoenixlabs.org/pg2/

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

General

http://www.isohunt.com
http://www.torrentspy.com/
http://www.mininova.org/
http://www.torrentbox.com/
http://www.torrentazos.com/index.php

There are a tonne more out there, but thats for you to find out for yourself, we are not allowed to feed you big lists of torrent
sites because keeping silent about them is what keeps them private.

You'll find the best stuff at private trackers, theese sites are invite only, you need to recive an invite from someone on the inside to gain mebership,WARNING You are not allowed to ask for invites at AfterDawn.Com.

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:

http://forums.afterdawn.com/thread_view.cfm/1/341946#2049889

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

http://forums.afterdawn.com/forum_view.cfm/18

If theres anything else you need to know just ask, remember if you don't know the answer its not a dumb qeustion!! :)

But wait theres more

Not all Private Trackers are invite only, Bitsoup, for egsample has its registration open.
And it allows use of BitComet.

@Rav, BitComet is banned from most Private Trackers as far my knowledge goes, most if not all public trackers accept BitComet, but it is to much of a leecher client, but it is personaly my favourite for quick downloading.

Oh and there is this great public tracker called http://www.ThePirateBay.org

I never bothered with peer gaurdian but i think i will give it a go

@BluRay, there only private if you keep them silent.

I know BitComent is banned from most trackers, your right (just like it says in my above post), not reccomended, it is one of the worst client about IMO :(

I am always bothered with PG2 because I dont want to get fined and jailed :p

ThePiratebay is one helluva site too.

i got PG2 how do i know if it is running because i press it and nothing comes up, its installed and stuff.
But then again i tend not to download pirated stuff anyway, as my sig suggests.

EDIT Oh and another thing: make sure you read one of the guides on Bittorrent clients, and stay away from a client called BitLord, Spyware infested peice of DinoDung.
