Just go to mininova.com or isohunt.com and do a search for whatever u are looking for. Once you locate it just click "download" and it should start downloading thru azureus.
Btw, S or seeds means the amount of people sending the file out to you and L or leechers is amount of people that want it. The more seeds there are the better chance u have of getting it faster.

Thanks Amother, how long does it usually take? does 4 days make sense?

From my experience it takes anywhere from a few minutes to a few weeks (but I usually just cancel it if it doesnt move for a few days) it all depends on how many people are uploading it (sending it out) which is the amount of seeds and how big the file is. I was just downloading programs for a pda and it took less than 2 minutes because it was a tiny file but a huge file like a full season of a show which is about 4 or 5 gb can take days if not weeks.
If you see that the percentage isnt moving for a while you can try searching for it again and get another one going and see maybe that one will go faster.
Btw, you have to be careful because a lot of these files have viruses and spyware attached to them.
Oh and download at your own risk because most, if not all, of these downloads are illegal.

So Are you trying to say that the computer must be switched on for all this time? A few days in ago? I am downloading on a Laptop, what happens if I take it out of the house for a while will he download continue once I bring it back? or will I have to restart?

If you are doing just one episode, it usually takes only a few hours.

It will always find what you've done already and continue from there. You just might need to turn it back on again.

I leave both my laptop and my desktop running 24/7/365, I just never bother turning them off because it takes forever to start them up again. The computer does have to be on for it to download. If you lose the internet connection (like take the laptop out of the house) then the download will stop but it should start again automatically once it finds a connection again unless you turned off the computer in which case you have to turn on the downloading program again and set it to download. Also, one episode doesnt necessarily take less than a day, it depends how many people are sending it out. If noone is sending it out then you can wait forever and it wont download.

I really hope Cook wins!! Archuleta is sooo annoying and he's the biggest nerd. I hate the way he looks and talks and everything. He has a pretty good singing voice but he's such a nothing beyond that. He has no personality either!
Cook has such originality and I love his sound. He really makes the songs his own.
