Right, you can do it that way.  Or, you can go into utorrent and type
your keywords into it's search box and it will search using this site
and bring up a web page of results.  Either way, you choose to download
a torrent file, and this next is important for ease of use, you choose
to open it rather than to save it.  Opening it passes it directly to
your BitTorrent client (UTorrent if you choose that) and the BitTorrent
begins acting on it to go get the files you want downloaded.
 
If you save a torrent file instead of opening it you will find you just
have a very small file of a few hundred bytes that doesn't have what you
want.  It's really they key, like a map, to getting what you want, and
the BitTorrent client tries to go get them for you using it.
 
If you save a BitTorrent file rather than opening it, you'll just need
to double click on it, which opens it from your pc, and the same thing
will then happen.

                To find what you want, you should search some sites with
torent files, download them and then include them in utorent to start
the process of download the data.

                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.
