Yeah I use it for all the latest tv shows from the US. West Wing, Angel, Enterprise, Buffy R.I.P.  and Stargate. Which reminds me Stargate should be out by now - I'll have to start that up 
You get all sorts of files on it as well - It all depends on what people put up. You tend to get the latest releases - tv and movies, etc - before popular P2P software like Kazaa does.

Yeh used it once, but it is a bit fiddly to say the least.

Yeah I heard that but is it a good " fast " p2p ?
I heard something about it using your pc as a node or server or something along those lines

Basically downloads and uploads at the same time.
I have only used it once to get Matrix 2.
It downloaded at 30k on average and i am on Pipex DSL but after downloading it had to be converted and then burnt using nero into a watchable format.
It was fair quality but not as good as waiting for the film to be released in the cinema etc.

Setting it up is very easy. You download the client file tends to be less than 1MB and it installs itself and says "Bittorrent install complete" and thats it. You then find links on websites and click them. Bittorrent asks where you want to install it and then it starts.
BTW a good Torrent site is www.suprnova.org

ED2K (latest release with the OverNet hybrid client built-in) for everything bar music, which Kazaa Lite is used for that.
Average download speeds through ED2K is 80Kbps and anything upto 120Kbps through Kazaa Lite.
