Okay, I'm still trying to get the hang of this.

If I start downloading a torrent, and I'm not getting anything out of it: "0 seeds in 0 peers" and no download rate, is it worth it to keep it downloading in the hopes that it'll acquire peers in a few minutes or hours, or should I chuck it? What if it seems to be well-rated?

Keep in mind that I discovered tonight that my torrent program (BitTorrent for Mac) apparently will only download one thing at a time. Everything else is queued as "waiting," even if I'm not getting anything at all from the file that's supposed to be downloading but in fact is doing anything but.

Many thanks, oh Great LJ Brain!

http://eztv.it/ - it has all the US shows, (and a lot of Canadian, British and Australian ones) the morning after. I've been using this site for over a year it's very reliable. No joining required, just click on the episode and the torrent will download. Sites for other than TV shows: www.mininova.org, www.thepiratebay.org.
You should be careful of just googling stuff because there are a lot of torrents and programs created by anti-piracy outfits out there - either malware or duds that simply don't work so that you will give up on the whole bit torrent thing.
