almost everything I download now are Torrents, it's just so easy search click download done. Im downloading Howard Stern TV shows right now.
A good sight for TV shows is
EZTV - TV Torrents Online (eztvefnet.org is now eztv.it) they have the shows up really quick and they have most shows on there, you may as well download them instead of streaming them because it still uses the same bandwidth and the quality is usually better. A good sight for everything is Mininova.
Also the best client to use is Utorrent. I think people don't use torrents because they can't figure out how to get good speeds but once you get the settings right you will get great download rates and it is really simple. This sight will tell you how to increase your download rate with Utorrent.
