Just signed up for broadband and to want get into this file sharing stuff.  Don't know much about it but told you can download films, tv-series, music and software.  What sort of download times are you talking about for a film with broadband.  Also what sort of quality are we talking about?

I've found one pay site, http://www.kazza.com.  Is this the only site and are there any free sites out there?

There seems to be a good few people in here who know all about this sort of stuff, so any tips for a newbie would be appreciated.

uninstall kazaa now.

goto http://www.k-lite.tk and download that one. Same prog, no spyware.

a few good progs you'll also want are Zone alarm and Ad-aware, both free progs from http://www.download.com

Movies & mp3's depend on who you are getting them from, the size and how many people are downloading from the one person and you. For a full movie i guess you are talking abut an hour or two.

Thanks for the reply, finally got my boadband connection up and running.  I've downloaded and installed kazza lite.  I've tried downloading a few thing, but the download speeds are terrible.  I seldom get better than 10 kb/s and offten it's less than 1 kb/s.  A whole move takes over a day to download.

Any hints on speeding things up.

AGAIN TRY BEARSHARE, JUST DON'T TAKE THE PRO ONE. IT'S VERY FAST AND THERE ARE A LOT MORE USERS THAN KAZAA imo.

It's all really to do with the other end.  If the user you are downloading from is on a modem then the speed will be crappy.  Have a look here:

to run a speed test on your connection.  If it seems low reply and I will try and sort it out for you.
