Can someone please explain BitTorrent to me. What is it and how does it work? Also how and where I can use it?
I read everywhere about everyone talking about downloading all their music/films off it and about how great it is. I get mine off WinMX but it's hopeless for good quality films and full albums etc, and I've been told it's much slower than bittorrent. I think I should be taking advantage of my broadband connection by using this, but I don't know how to.
I tried to work bittorrent before once but I just couldn't get it to work.

the stupid answer: You will find the answer in the trash can
the clever answer: Open google and type "what is bit torrent"

anything with a serial number is traceable, so they probably used known public serials and the companies probably have quite a big investigation to get ppl's house addresses from ISP's

If that happened at all it would be because if the restricting port connections thing. Theres a registry patch for it. Although from what i've heard it makes no difference. The requests just get put in a que. It only stops bots that send millions of requests a second.
