Everytime i do a search i'm referred to the website for results, with most coming back as nothing found. It all seems pretty corporate, with price listings coming back with the results that i have had.
And people say this is better than P2P's?
What am i missing?

Go to Wikipedia and read about bit torrent technology. Then find yourself a decent torrent tracker (Demonoid.com is my favorite) and figure out how to use it.
Later, you will need to learn how to set up your firewall, and probably your router/modem, in a way that will allow you to use a bit torrent client to its fullest.
You have a learning process ahead of you, but when you become familiar with it, you will not want to go back to p2p technology.
Edit: by the way, forget the "bittorrent" program. Get yourself a good client program like utorrent. A lot of people like azureus too, but utorrent is my favorite.

Here's the scoop...you downloaded "bittorrent" with is a bittorrenting software. What you want to do is uninstall that and install a thing called uTorrent (same idea, I just like it better). BTW: torrenting is NOT a scam, but you WILL get spyware on your computer if you download spyware (duh). There are two sites that you can get pretty much ANYTHING on... www.demonoid.com and www.torrentspy.com
I prefer demonoid because the download rate is faster, but it is private (invite only, but pop me an email and i'll get you in).
Search your stuff...and then download the torrent file, open it, click "ok" and watch the fireworks!

i use BitTorrent too. I download my torrents from torrentspy or pirate bay. try one of those.
Also unless you know what your doing when downloading and burning, i'd reccomend asking someone who knows what their doing to show you how to do everything step by step. Me personally, i'm still messing around and trying to figure all that out.

Go to control panel>>>Go to programs and feautures>>>Find bittorrent>>uninstall it>>>Install it from here in the down. Tell me if it does work and if it's not uninstall the bittorrent and try to install utoorent.

You haven't found the "illegitimate" torrent indices yet. That's what you're missing.
Sorry, can't tell you any more than that. Anything would could be interpreted as aiding and abetting a criminal activity.
