can you give me more specifics on the 'kazaa style' search?
P2P, it's when two computers link together via the internet, say, linking my hard drive to a fella's hard drive in Italy. He can copy all of my files and I can copy all of his. There are a lot of P2P clients out there, grokster/napster/kazaa et all. The problem is getting access to files, as due to the illegality it's sort of an exclusive club type thing. You often have to get another users permission to access their files. I've found the best way is to bribe with porn.
is this like napster? are there any others?
MANY. depending on whether you're using a Mac or Pc you have different options. If you have windows I'd say give grokster a try. If you have a Mac I'd recommend KDXclient ( do a google search ).
i'll search them all but i don't know any of the names.
That's tough. It's not as easy as it used to be.
please help if you can. ALSO, the title has probably been translated or changed. I hope there's a way to search by actors.
Most likely you wont be able to. But maybe. All servers and clients are a bit different.
Stay away from crap like www.divxmovies.com, you only need to get a Divx codec, it's like RealPlayer or Quicktime and allows you to play divx movies. If you have a mac I recommend DivxDoctor2. Works like a charm and converts .avi to Quicktime.

If you email me your movie title and info I'll check around for it, if for no other reason than a shot at . No promises though.
And I'm getting a little uncomfortable with talking about this on a public forum. Then again, I haven't said anything that hasn't been said on "60 minutes" already.
