A lot of fansubs are in .torrent format, but have like other .avi or something before it, are supposed to like download bittorrent or something?

You need bittorrent, a downloading client to download them. If you dont want to download bittorrent you can download anime from www.fansub.tv , they have direct downloads for lots of new animes.

I used to use bittornado but I found that Azurues' a lot more easy to use and manage. http://azureus.sourceforge.net/

i use Azurues also... very easy to use... need a torrent program to d/l torrents... still trying to figure out how to host a torrent...

I believe you need a server to host an board the torrent. Hence, when a site is taken down, the torrent doesn't work.

you can either make your own tracker or use an existing tracker that lets you upload to it (like Hongfire). to make your own tracker you need to have a server and just run the tracker on it...

azureus needs to run in java enviroment, that will take some RAM space.
try bit tirnado. its less cosmetics than azureus...

I use the original one. Not as fancy as Azureus and others, but simple and good enough. The new beta version seems to work quite well with a better interface. The only downside is that it currently does not allow more than one torrent to run.
