Depends on what you are looking for.
If you want a song here or there then Limewire or something of that nature.
Torrents are great for things like books, movies, full albums comic book sets etc.
I've used torrents exclusively for over a year now, have downloaded nearly 90 gigabyes of stuff and have not had a single virus or problem.
There are a few things you need to know about torrents. Ratio is everthing. If you download a file you will be getting bits and pieces from any number of sharers. And they will be getting pieces from you at the same time. It is considered rude to download a file and then close the program. You should try and leave it open for awhile so that others can finish there copy. Depending on the site the size of what you share needs to be a certain percent of what you get. Leave the program running over night from time to time and you should be fine.
You will need a good program to use. I suggest uTorrent since it is the only one I have found so far that lets you pick and choose which files in a torrent you want to download. This is handy if you only want four or five files out of a collection of several hundred.
Second you need to find a good torrent site. I will be honest most of them are covered in porn ads and junk. I only use one site. I use Demonoid. The ads are kept to a minimum and if you use it as much as I do you can send in a donation of a dollar or two to get rid of ads. It's well monitored, files that are no good get bad ratings and you can always check the comment section to see if a file has problems. Also they require registration so that membership is kept under control. Registration is usually open on weekends or you can get an invite code from a member.
Give them a try. After using Torrents I will never go back to any other form of file transfer.
