Too much questions, you'll need to do some search over the internet for finding some answers by yourself.

Read Bittorrent FAQ and it might help you: http://www.dessent.net/btfaq/

1. You'll need a bittorrent client (like Bittornado) to download. Install Bittornado. Get the torrent file of the anime/manga that you want to download (small file ~1 ou 2 kb). Open the torrent file by your BT client to begin the download.

2. Winzip: Compression application. It helps to compress or extract a compressed file (most common .zip files)

3. Leech & Seeds: BT terms about people who download. Seeds: ppl who have finished dl the file and keep uploading. Leech: ppl who are still dl.

4. A lot of anime are encoded by divx or xvid (codecs). You'll need codecs to be able to read those files.

Thanks for the information it helped a lot. The information and site you gave me answered most of my questions. I just have three more questions.What do you think I should use to view the files realplayer,windows mediaplayer etc. The codec thing when does it kick in if I need it? Do you have any idea what this error means? It appeared while I was trying to download. guests do not have access to this torrent. make sure Ip adress (then some numbers that appear that go off the page.)

If you can't answer the questions thanks anyways the website you gave me helped out a lot.
