I'm new to utilizing this mode of downloading. Before, just employed emule, soulseek...etc. Now I'm absorbed in unearthing old episodes of PBS"s Masterpiece Theatre. Any idea where or how to best locate torrents for the above mentioned? Very Happy

what you want is not there but it is great for docos and british programs, can get some pretty good speeds as well (nothing amazing however)

Get an RSS aggregator like NetNewsWire, for example. Then go to Torrentspy and copy/paste the RSS feeds of your choice into the aggregator. You'll have notices of all new torrents on Torrentspy in the categories you picked right there, without having to search endless torrent sites.

I'm desperately looking for a good p2p program to find certain mp3s. Kazaa lite was great but don't know what happened to it now.

Do a search for BitTorrent. There are numerous versions out there.

emule is best for individual mp3 files. if you want to download entire albums or discographys then get on torrent. My preferred torrent client is utorrent.
