What is this ABC, is it Jaws friendly and are songs free to download?

I search via the scrape torrent site and have great results with that since
it checks a bunch of other sites. I quit using utorrent though in favor of
ABC a couple years ago because utorrent seemed to slow the computer down
after a while and ABC seems to have a much bigger success rate with the
downloads, faster too.

Others will want to know this, so I'll answer here.
UTorrent itself has a search box where you can type in keywords and it will
search one particular torrent-serving web site for you, and throw you to a
web page from that web site. That web site will link you to a second if
your search doesn't turn up what you were looking for.
You are free however to go searching for torrent web site which you can join
and search yourself (I joined demonoid.com, but it, like many, has a
membership limit).
Google will also help you search for torrents by adding the term
"filetype:torrent" (without the quotes) to your search.
Whether a particular site has it's torrents categorized or not depends upon
that site. Most do, so you could specify audio books or movies or whatever.
There are many usenet news groups dedicated to bittorrents, so you might go
out there with outlook express or whatever and start reading in order to
pickup tips on which are the best torrent tracking sites.

Hi List:
Someone I believe on this list answered a question about music sharing
programmes and suggested utorrent. I downloaded and installed it but am a
little confused as to how to search for specific formats e.g. movies
specifically in MPG etc. I don't know who it was but if you or anyone is
able to help please reply off list if you prefer not to reply on list. My
email address is ewade@xxxxxxxxxx Thankjs in advance.
Sincerely, Liz Wade
