What is Bit Comet (besides a cool icon!)

[Senor boogie woogie]

Hello,

I downloaded Bit Comet on the computer, but don't really know how to use it. For one thing, I am having problems finding a free website. All of them are paysites, and I do not have the means or resources to pay for a service. I have tried to use these bittorrents before for several years, and always found them to be a royal pain in the arse.

I live in China and are able to watch a lot of foreign TV and media through their Chinese sites. I download music from Limewire. I just downloaded the BitComet again because I wanted to watch something that I cannot find, or to find older and more obscure things. I also would not mind a good American Football game since I cannot find that here.
