Download any torrent program such as UTorrent, Bitlord. Find someone that uses Demonoid as it is an invite only website (and has been since the govt shut it down awhile back). If you can't find what you want on that site, it doesn't exist.

+1 on torrent (I use bitTorrent) as well as frostwire- kinda like limewire but I have not had any issue with viruses or anything plus it is free to download so thats a big plus.

I've always used Limewire without issues. Download the basic free version, then use that to download the newest/best version. I just reinstalled my OS a couple months ago and have yet to put anything back on...
I know a ton of people use BitTorrent and I think bearshare or something like that. Skyes step dad burns full movies for us all the time.

Yeah, I just got the older free version. My wife has the newer one on her laptop, but she's not on it very much so I haven't heard if hers is working.

Torrents are really easy. Just download a torrent program such as bitlord, or utorrent. Install. Get on a good torrent site. Click "download" on whatever torrent you want. Choose "Open" (Do not choose save or save as, as this will just download a txt file) and whammo. Torrent download. Free stuff. I just downloaded Starcraft 2. Fun game, but glad I didn't pay for it.

is there anything to "look out for" when using a torrent program?

Not that I know of. I've been using Bitlord for about 5 years and have been a member of Demonoid for about that long. That's the only site a person would ever need for anything, ever.
