A better question might be legal or illegal, it all depends on what you want to download. Note that increasingly legal movie distribution, at least in the UK, is now being made using P2P as this reduces the load on the movie or TV companies' servers. Personally I find BT useful in that it allows me to pull down TV shows that I miss for some reason or other and have forgotten to capture for myself. If you want to dabble have a look at BitTornado, if more series then something like Azureus or µTorrent. -- Mike Maltby mike.maltby@gmail.com
