Hi, anyone know any good sites for downloading PC games? Sites like Limewire just seem to be full of corrupted files or viruses.

Despite you being a toffee Evil or Very Mad I would be happy to suggest a few places. Just tell us whether you use a bittorrent program or not.

Despite the probability of you being from the Red side, I'll tell you that I've downloaded BitTorent, but I am quite new to using torrents, so any hints would be appreciated.

torrentspy
mininova

Isohunt looks good, but when I try to download anything it goes to my download manager which downloads the file in a second. Clearly something is amiss. I have downloaded uTorrent, but it doesn't appear to be a word in edgeways.

Sounds like you are only downloading the 'Tracker' file. Once you download this little file, and yes, it should only take a second, then you have to double click that file. Where did you download the tracker files to? Desktop? Find it and click it. uTorrent should go into action then.

...and then let your torrent software download the torrent. It will most likely take forever. Just let it run in the background and forget about it. In a few hours, or days, you'll have the game you want.
