    I use kazaa lite. But recently, I've been getting a lot of ebooks, and found that IRC is by far the best place to get ebooks. Here's a step by step instruction guide for anybody that's interested.

    How to use IRC to get more books

    Bit Torrent
    Kazaa Lite
    Bearshare (has a bunch of spy/ad software, but after running Ad Aware, works dandy)

    Yea, i'm pretty much a slave to BitTorrent these days as well, and I like to frequent suprnova.org.

    Other than that, I'm still using winmx, but only when I can't find things elsewhere.

    Can someone give me primer on bit torrent?

    What client?

    Where does it go on your computer?

    Can you change settings?

    Where do you find torrents?

    Thanks in advance.

    i've been using Bit Torrent as well. What are some good sites that have a variety of music. SuprNova.org is alright but i prefer to use sharingthemusicgroove.org. They've got quite a bit of everything.

    Any other good music websites?
