    OK...This may not be the right page, but I am wanting to download some Bit Torrents of T.V. shows, and don't know what to do. What extra software will I need to download? Are other sites more reliable that others? Thanks in advance for the help.

    Kind of µTorrent...
    It's not quite legal to do so (unless you're paying a subscription).

    Torrents aren't necessarily illegal; many popular download sites now offer Torrent alternatives for larger files such as game demos, or large game updates/patches to reduce queue times and server strain.

    Don't blame the medium, blame the users.

    Anyhow, definitely check out uTorrent. It's the most lightweight and probably also one of the fastest clients you can use. However, keep in mind that some internet service providers restrict the use of the default BitTorrent ports.
