Thank you. With the clues of all these post, the “geeky” stage seems less unworkable. It is a challenge for me. My new hobby to uncover the salutations of file distribution.

Sometimes campus or ISP blocks the .torrent files for download. Try http://www.sexopmijniphone.nl/toxt/ a unique way to download torrents in .zip files. Copy the URL from TPB or mininova, and click download.

I have just downloaded an .avi file using Azureus,
but it can not be played by Real player. It says "this mediafile can only be played using Dom-X". Is it a scam as considered on some sites ?

Torrents don't play directly in players. You might want to
re-read the article, and you'll see it says "You download
the ".torrent" file, and open it in your BitTorrent client."

Thanks,

A peer is another user like yourself that is either hosting, or downloading, the same file.

"Most"? I have no idea. I do know that I downloaded my client from a reputable source, and have had zero problems.

There are definitely spyware infested clients out there, especially in some of the other peer-to-peer filesharing services, so caution is definitely appropriate. But with appropriate caution and downloading only software you trust from sources you trust, you can stay safe.
