Hello

you need to install a programme that can make sense of the torrent files and connect to the swarm of other people that either have a full copy (seeders) or a partial copy (leechers)
I use http://azureus.sourceforge.net/ possibly not the best but it's what I've used for years and it's easy enough to setup. Just remember you need the latest Java too.

then off you go and find the torrent you want

Hello

I also use Mininova but for television programs (not the one you want), then http://www.tvtorrents.com/ is good.

I've got opera as a client so can use that but couldn't find the eps required from my novice searches.

I tried to sign up for uknova bbut the signup page is blank...?

Thanks for the tips guys.

Do you have a torrent client?

I use BitComet - search Google and you can download it for free. Within BitComet there is a browser with all the main torrent sites already bookmarked.

Yep, Opera as above.

Got signed up, they've got a cap on users so you can only get in when they've purged old accounts.

It's got the stuff I wanted so good call on that. Cheers RB5

And thanks others too
