if you're looking for "files" you can find them ALL using Bit Torrent.  ;)

It's an odd file sharing utility.

Its a very odd and different p2p program. You install the software and then find .torrent files on websites and when you run the torrent file it runs BitTorrent and goes out and tries to find the file to download and it starts to download the file and simultaneously upload the file to other users who are looking for it.  It's sort of wierd but basically the more people who download something at once the fast everyone's downloads speeds go. Its actually quite revolutionary.

It's not that revolutionary.  It's the same idea just did a little differently.

I don't like it.  Run int he background.  Controlling it is a pain.  And then you get those files that download at 0.3k because not many people are using it.
