Yeah, it won't let me sign up either. This whole program is kind of confusing to me, but, if it eventually works as advertised, it'll be great. We'll see.

Edit: It let me log on, and then it requires a manual activation by the administrator. So far I don't know if it's worth it, but this Bit Torrent program is pretty cool after you figure it out. The downloads speed up over time. Pretty consistently 20-40kbs on newer shows.

It's supposed to be the latest greatest P2P. I'm off to try it now.

Downloaded a large program the other day and had it going at 530kbs.. did 1.4gb in just a little over an hour. Shows like West Wing come at 150~200kbs... guess it depends on your connection.

Lots of stuff can be found here: http://suprnova.org/
