There is a distributed torrent client available now that does overcome
some of the problems with torrents and tracking downloaders, freely
available (I have no vested interest) called Tribler. Although the
range of content of pb and others may not be available just yet, daily
the amount of content grows massively. Music and video content is
available and can even be streamed to watch if desired.
http://www.tribler.org
that will provide the original client. or you could get one with
'enhancements', which I aim to try today;

[OT]as a consumer this way of doing things allows me to check out the
content prior to purchase so I know what it is I am purchasing. Not
something crap hollywood really wants to allow these days.[/OT]
