.... but if someone wanted to download, oh, say games and movies, where's the best place now a days ? (disclaimer, not that anyone ever should of course coz it's illegal 
)
I, er, someone I know has got Kazaa Lite but most of the movies are poor quality 700k jobbies, and I've {cough} he's never managed to download a game that actually works

Errm, someone....a friend down the pub...told me about www.suprnova.com.
Of course, never tried it myself.
Edited to add - think he also mentioned www.torrentreactor.net at some point.

'tis funny, someone told me all about the illegal activity available over at www.zeropaid.com. Apparently this gives an overview of lots of other similar sites that you should avoid. 
Tsk....
Tsk....I've overheard some chaps in the pub talking about bearshare, apparently it's a peer-2-peer tool.. I'm not sure what one of those is, but it's supposed to be good at what it does...
And then in the butchers the other day, Mrs Miggins was talking to Fred (The butcher) about something called "Bit-Torrent"... I thought she was talking about one of those annoying rain showers, but no, apparently that's a very good way of downloading what could be termed as "illegal files"...
Strange what you pick up at the shops really...

I've been told by some dodgy geezer down the road that there are some excellent search programs for Bit-Torrent - TorrentSearch I think he said it was, searches all the websites and collates all the results into one list without having to trawl all the nasty pop up ridden webpages.
Of course I turned away and ignored him, but he was insistent and seems to think 'It's the dandies'. Somehow I found it on my pc, but I never use it - must of been when he went on it. I want to get rid of it but I need somewhere to send it...

Apparantly, a friend of a friend of a friend told me that
www.aresgalaxy.org
is a pretty good site, and you dont have to register, apparantly

FYI,
BitTorrent is great for downloading legitimate stuff, in that it spreads the bandwidth uploading between the downloaders, but it is not designed to be, ah… discrete. In fact, the very opposite. It works well because everyone downloading is broadcasting back the information about their download in order to make it a robust sharing system, but that also means that it would be very easy to track what IP addresses were downloading and re-sharing what files if anyone were to care to look...
Other Peer to Peer software is available that has been designed specifically to distribute software with more privacy and security and anonymity, for those that need it. I don’t have any specific recommendations in that area though, other than its probably a good idea to stay away from Kazza, for thousands of reasons.

Someone mentioned alt.binaries.cd.images .... what on earth is that ?!?
It is a newsgroup. The images of CDs are broken down into 15MB chunks (I presume this is the largest a newsgroup message can be). A person that way inclined would download each of these chunks (usually RARs) and cobble them together with WinRAR. The image can then be burnt to a CD with Nero or the like.
Somebody I errrr know has just tried the imesh thingy, and it was FULL of bloody spyware. He had quite a bit of difficulties removing all of it! (even using Spybot and Adaware...)
So perhaps it would be wise to look at the other options, I'm sorry, I mean NOT look at the other options

Um. Why ?
In the US over a thousand kazza users have been sued by the record industry for thousands to tens of thousands of dollars each. It was easy to track who was downloading and sharing songs with kazza and they are the ones that the industry has gone after first.
