You want to dld stuff off p2p? Then you have to keep a couple of things in mind:

A: Watch the size of the file you are about to dld: if it seems too small, then it either isn't complete, or is something else entirely. For a decent quality movie in .avi format, look for sizes around 700Megs. For songs, higher bitrates mean better quality but also bigger files.

B: There's going to be a little searching for the right file: some files are not what the claim to be (and people who serve such files to the network, I damn you all). So that you don't wait for a file to completely dld only to find out that it's not what you wanted, wait for it to reach a safe 10%, select it and click Launch (or double click the dld).

C: Doing a more general search (i.e not choosing to fill the producer, year, etc fields) will give you more results, but you are more likely to get crap.
