Want to get started with BT, which do I begin with?

[blurredvision]

I've been thinking of getting into the bittorrent scene for a couple of weeks now, but I don't know where to start. I know how the whole system works, but I know nothing about the many programs you can use. Can someone point me to a good beginner prog so that I can get started with it?

And I'm sure this has been posted before, but I don't feel like searching. Bite me.

Azureus is a pretty good BT client (looks similar to P2P clients)

Just checked for this on download.com, and it says it contains adware. Is there a version of this out there without ad/spyware?

Azureus does NOT contain spyware of any sort.

Those people are morons.

You download torrents for azureus, as with any BT program (if you don't know). There was a thread having a few sites that list some torrent sites to get these. They are basically an address to the release source and once connected to that source, can begin looking/downloading from people who have part or the entire file/folder.

bittornado is my preferred BT client

If you want *easy* for starting off, I'd reccomend ABC.

Go for Azureus, easy to use and easy on the resources as well.

BitComet because it bypasses my college internet security.
