Hello all,

I've never really been too interested in downloading movies (for free) but there are some that are in the theaters (and dvd) I would really like to check out (without having to pay of course ).

I was wondering, does anyone know what would be the best / easiest / fastest user friendly way to download "free" movies off of the internet? I'm no wiz with formats and conversions etc. but I can handle the basics.

I've heard a lot of people talking about Bittorents, I'd hate to say it but I have no idea what that is or how to use it, some have mentioned that's a good way to find movies, I know thus far that:

I need a place to find torrents to download (anybody know a good one?)
I need a program to open the torrent (again, any suggestions?)

This is on Mac OS X Tiger (sorry not up to Leopard yet...)

My ideal process would be to find the movie, download it (even if it has to be overnight), then transfer to my iPod Touch (that's the main place I would view them) but I have an iMac so I would LOVE to finally be able to use my dvd burner (always wanted one when I never had one and now I don't even know where to find things to use it for burning) That brings me to another question... any good apps for burning DVD's using the iMac burner?

If you guys could help me with this i'd greatly appreciate it!

Regards,
20" iMac / 2.16Ghz Intel Core 2 Duo / 1GB Ram / 250GB HDD
