LW Pro user needing to advance general techniques (bittorrent intolerant)

[pcxe]

I've been using Limewire pro very successfully for acquiring my mp3 needs but I just can't seem to advance beyond the most basic p2p concepts. I don't understand Bit Torrents or any of the other advanced user terminologies.
I want to expand my p2p experience & abilities.
I am basically asking for research direction, are there any recommended tutorial sites? Does anyone know of a good place to start... Of course I read (scour) instructions and search the forums but they just aren't thorough enough.
I know this query may be aggravatingly inappropriate to the forum authorities but any help at all would be GREATLY appreciated
Thank You
