I've steered clear of torrenting to date but am thinking of taking a look at it.

What's the basics I need to know.

i.e Most user friendly client.
Good torrent sites for movies and/or TV programmes

Don't know about Windows clients, but if you're just dipping your toe in the water, the Opera browser now includes a torrent client and is free.

utorrent and turn on encyption so that your ISP cannot work out what sort of traffic it is if you have one of those ISP's that cap bandwidth for torrents.

Nice one. Opera is my default browser so will take a look now.

Nice one again as this was one of my concerns.

I've been torrenting for a while and I use uTorrent. Highly recommended and very lightweight unlike say Vuze/Azureus.

I use isohunt.com to find torrents also thepiratebay.org

thebox.bz is excellent for anything that's been on terrestrial television in the last few years.

Great general info here: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/.torrent
