www.vuze.com
This is where you open the torrent file for downloading
 
3. A torrent file. There are 1000's of free websites were you can get torrent files to download with Azureus. The ones I use are:
www.isohunt.com
www.thepiratebay.org
 
You go here, find what you want. Save the file and open in Azureus. Searching for file names becomes easier with experience. Once downloaded, you have the movie/music/software etc.
 
Sounds more confusing than it is.


Thank you. 1 question though... do I move the file to iTunes or something like that?

No. If you download a movie or song, it will most likely play in something like Windows Media Player. You can check the file type before you download it (AVI, MPEG, MP3 etc.)

If you download a movie, there are various file sized depending on the quality (HD vs. Standard Def). If you don't care, or have slow download speeds, the standard definition ones (smaller files) are usually good.

You need to look for a lot of 'seeds' for quicker downloads. Seeds are the number of people sharing the file. Obviously, the newer movies/albums/shows have more seeders. GL.

If you use iTunes then by all means - open them with iTunes.

Just go to 'add folder to library' and select the downloaded folder containing the music/video.

Torrents are also the best way to download movies, software, games... just about anything that can be used on a computer.

I just downloaded the newest version of Adobe Photoshop.  Free!

Nice site I always used scrapetorrent.com

And I use BitLord or uTorrent to do the downloading.

Just finished downloading 'a propet', has anyone seen this movie?
