1) Grab and install a BitTorrent client
I like Azureus.
2) Find a file online and download it
My two favorite trackers are:
Aradi Tracker (Sign up for a free account – well worth it!)
The Pirate Bay (The biggest)
3) Double click on the downloaded file (.torrent)
The file, called a torrent, you get off the trackers is going to be small as it is just a link to the actual file you want. All you need to do is double click on the torrent file (or drag it into Azureus). Azureus will then go out onto the internet and grab the real file you are looking for.
4) Create a usable file
Many of the larger files (movies in particular) are broken up into pieces – most often with a .rar extension. You will need an application to combine them back into a usable form. On the Mac, you can use UnRarX to combine .rar files into a viewable movie file.
5) Watch your movie
You will want to watch the movies using MPlayer or VLC [Quicktime just does not cut it].

One last thing to note.
BitTorrent works because people leave Azureus open long after they have finished downloading. When Azureus is open, it uploads your finished BitTorrent files to other people.
When you upload as much as you have downloaded, you are said to have a share ratio of 1. When you share twice as much as you download, you are said to have a share ratio of 2. The higher your share ratio… the more people love you. The more people love you… the faster you get to download files.
Spread the love.
