There are 3 options u can choose from but make sure u always have all your important information backed up because u can get a virus.

Option 1: LimeWire - Easiest to use - Biggest chance of getting a virus.
Option 2: BIT Torrent - Semi-easy - Small chance of getting a virus.
Option 3: mIRC - A bit confusing - Small chance of getting a virus.

I don't use LimeWire I use the other 2 first I check BIT Torrent then if they don't have it I go to mIRC

Three typical show format would look like this: Smallville S05E09 or S5E09 or 509, this means: Smallville Season 5 Episode 9.

Option 1: LimeWire:
Download and install LimeWire from: www.limewire.com no instructions needed very easy to use.

Option 2: BIT Torrent:
Download & Install: Azureus
GoTo: www.torrentspy.com
Search for whatever u want, then click on it, then click on "Download Torrent"
When the message box pops up and asks if you want to save it or open it, click "Open", it will automatically open Azureus and ask you where u want to save the file to.
Once the download is complete it will move to the bottom section, in order to keep the flow going DO NOT 'X' it until you see that the ratio is AT LEAST 1 that means that u gave out exactly what u downloaded so it never dies.

Option 3: mIRC:
Step 1:
Download & Install: mIRC and u this KeyGen for a code to register it.

Step 2:
Open up mIRC and make the following one-time setting changes:
Go to 'Tool' > 'Options' > then click on the DCC tab on the left:
Move Radio-Button to: "Auto-Get File"
Then click on the "+" next to DCC and clcik on options and take the check out of "Show Warnings"
Then go to ignore in the DCC sections and make it "Disabled" in the "Method" section, also take the check out of "Turn ignore back on in:"
Now Click OK.

Step 3:
GoTo: www.packetnews.com ***BEWARE OF ADULT POP-UPS***
>Search for whatever u want, then there will be a number next to the file name that's a link that will open a room in mIRC.
>>mIRC will open up and ask you a question if this is the only download your doing at the moment just click ok, but if you are downloading a few things at the same time then choose "Open New Connection", or "Join the channel on the current server" only choose that option if both things you are downloading are from the same section in PacketNews.
>>>After the chat room opens up just hit "Paste" then enter and it will automatically type in what you want.
>>>>Then you will get a confirmation if there is an open slot available and they'll tell how long it will start in, or they will tell you that they are all filled up for the moment, and then you should try someone else or try again later.

Step 4:
After the download is completed it will be in this path:
C:/Program File/mIRC/Downloads/
You may need to use WinRAR to unRAR and open it, its just like a zip file only better.
Click here to download: WinRAR and then use this to Patch it. (Make sure u read the file on how to patch the WinRAR program)
