Same. I tried it for Family Guy, gave up and just bought the DVD's lol One of my friends is really good though. He copies PC software and everything.

I don't watch much TV anyway.

Gazbo, I think you need to download something called utorrent first. I'm noit too sure though.

A simple tutorial:

1. Download a torrent client. I recommend uTorrent: http://www.utorrent.com
2. Find a 'torrent' file (.torrent)
3. Open it in your torrent client and set the folder you want the attached file(s) to download to
4. The torrent will the file(s)

Huh? lol

Okay I get step one, I currently have GetTorrent but it sucks so I'll try that one!

Step 2 - how do I "find" a file?

It's so easy to be honest.
Sites like http://mininova.org are great for torrents.
You just download them and they'll go straight to the torrent progam (uTorent) and download.

Well, I'm presuming since you've asked for a torrents tutorial that you have a torrent you'd like to download from.

You open that in uTorrent, and that will then download the file.

A lot require the right video codec though, so if you play the video and it doesn't work - you may need to download something like DivX.

Depends all torrents differ. They will play in WMP...but you need a video codec for the video to actually show. Otherwise it could be just sound or what not. Having a DivX codec will allow the video to play too.

Make sure to leave your torrents in the torrent client for a wee while even once they have finished downloading. Nobody likes a hit and run. Its good to share.
