Here is a site I know of
http://www.tvtorrents.com/
I think you need Limewire or something to open them

The thing that saves is just the starting thing. You need to download a torrent program to open it into. Download 'bitlord', it's a torrent opening program. Then the file that has saved to your computer, right click it then go to 'open with' and select bitlord and it'll start the download.

Or you could just go to: www.alluc.org

There you can watch films/ tv straight away- no need to download...

Oh, I forgot, limewire does torrents now. Just right click the thing you got saved, click open with then limewire and it should start downloading on limewire. Torrents are really slow though and tv and films are big files so they take a long time.

That's why I don't usually download them, I just watch them straight from www.alluc.org or even youtube has quite a few tv shows but the quality isn't as good.

Yeah but I think she meant she needs a program to download them with such as limewire or bitlord or whatever.

Download Ares, it's better than Limewire.

In light of what is being proposed by the Government and ongoing court cases, I am not sure that this kind of help should be given here for legal reason.

Perhaps this thread should be locked to be on the safe side

If you look at the BBC news site stories about 'Pirate Bay' etc. they all have links to the relevant sites. I don't see a problem with having these links here.

Pretty much. Told you they were slow, that's why I usually only download music. Films and tv takes ages! If it's popular though it's usually quicker.

I download everything. Software, Music, TV, Movies. My computer is on all the time and it is still really slow.

I use www.torrentz.com to search for torrent files. It searches loads of sites.

If you download DivX Player it should work. Many of my torrents need it to be played.
