I would stay away from down loading torrent, some are riddled
with viruses so unless you have proper anti virus I would keep

Hi,
right utorrent is just your server for downloading the films.
go to bt junkie or pirate bay, search for your film then download, u torrent will do the rest,
most films downloaded need VLC player so advisable that you download that as well, some play with window player but most dont.

Be careful though when downloading torrents. Some have a lot of viruses. Read the comments under it first, often you will find out this way. Also make sure you have a good antivirus.
I found this to be very good. Download this first of all. Basically what happens is, when you go to a torrent site and find a torrent you want to download, when you click download, the torrent client which you downloaded will automatically open.
Look at how many seeders and leeches there are as this will affect the speed of your download. Have a read of this to get an understanding of it:
If you check your Private Mail I'll send on my 'idiots guide to torrents' - just sorta made it up myself after hearing this question alot from friends - hopfully it helps out and if you've any other issues just message me back and I'll try and sorta ya out.
i use demonoid site its a private site invite only so less viruses if you dont mind me asking are you with eircom if so they may send you as warning letter if you download torrents
...id just like to say thanks to all of you for the advice... ill do the best i can to put it into practice...sure, it wont be easy, but whats life without challenges???... again, thanks...
