I've heard of torrents, but never used them, how do they work?

Bit torrent is a way to share files - any file, not just movies or programs, so torrents are a legitimate way to share files. With torrent software, multiple users exchange pieces of a file with each other instead of downloading one complete file from a central source. To get torrent files, you need the file sharing software (check out www.bittorrent.com) and a link to "tracker" webpage which is a sort of index. Once the torrent downloading software is installed, you can just click on the link on Etaipo's livejournal page and save the file (no need to find a tracker webpage). He saves his files as window media if I recall correctly, so the Windows media player should play them fine.
