  Hi, I just went to that site. It says it is a totally free site, but I did 
see a register link. I did register, so you might want to give that a try.

    Hi,  I tried http://www.thepiratebay.org

    BTW:  I only installed the Bit torrent software.  Is there something I'm 
missing here?

      What torrent did you go to. I've never had that. Some places you may 
havee to pay or havee limited time. I stay away from these, and stick with only 
free ones.

        Hello,

        I have installed this and went to a site to try it out.  I must be 
missing something with jfw in the settings screen because I can't seem to 
change my upload/download rates.  A file I tried to download said that I had 35 
days time remaining for a download?  Is this right? or, is jfw not focussing on 
a settings button?

        Thanks...Keith

          Hi torrents are used to download big filees from otheer people. It 
doesn't work quite like kazaa and otheer per to per sharing programs. What 
happens is you are getting bits of a file from other people who are downloading 
thee same thing. So, the more people you have downloading the same file as you, 
the faster you can get the file. Also while you are downloading a file someone 
else is getting bits of the file from your system as well. You use bit torrent 
program to download these files. All you havee to do is install the program bit 
torrent. Then you find torrent sites that have trackers to connect to in order 
to download thesee files. Example, I went on a site, and was ablee to find Star 
wars Revenge of thee Sith. I downloaded it, and played it using the vlc 
software. You can go to bit torrent. Oops You can go to www.bittorrent.com to 
get the program. Jaws speaks all the install prompts. Once thee program is 
installed, you don't need to do anything else with that program, just find 
torrent sites to go to.
