Peer to Peer and file sharing
I use Kaaza to download music and the occasional film, recently I have heard of a program called BitTorrent where you can download TV programs etc prior to them being shown on UK TV.
Has anyone any experience of BitTorrent or have any other file sharing sites other than Kaaza that they can recommend?

I use www.Bearshare.com for P2P and its excellent. I just saw that BitTorrent thing on the BBC website, and I'm going to give it a try tonight. I used to have moral objections to downloading music from P2P but after buying the new foo fighters cd this week only to find that I cant copy it to my MP3 playerdue to copy protection put on it by bertelsmann, I will now download with impunity.

Here's a little heads-up for those who're partial to P2P: German police arrest MP3 'swapper' 
but it maybe gets worse ! : Music labels to sabotage P2P users' PCs
