use bit commet to download things, it is faster, and takes up less rescources then anything else, and its not made with java so it doesnt suck, unlike azurus:
http://www.bitcomet.com/
as for download sites, torrentspy.com is good, but i like
www.demonoid.com a bit more. although you do have to register there, but thats not hard at all.
