ok you need a bit torrent client i only know how to use shawdows bittorrent client so its the only one i can recomend
after you download it just click on a torrent from etree or whatever and the bittorrent client will open it. start downloading and see what color the status light is that will yell you if your behind a firewall.if you are then its tricky to get around it.the suprnova forums have good info on it.if you have windows xp you need to get around that firewall too its super easy.how to do it should be on the suprnova forums too.

i use Azureus.
you can download stuff in any format, zip, mp3, shn, etc.
say for example you want to download 69-03-02, and you've found the torrent for it.
after intalling a BT client, you would click the link for the .torrent file (EX: 69-03-02.torrent) open it (usualy from a website, but you can save the 69-03-02.torrent file to your computer)
then, the program 'allocates' the space on your computer, so that you dont use the space that it needs on your computer.
it will download automaticaly, in the format in which it was crated. for example, it could create a folder "69-03-02.shnf" and have all the shns inside that.
So before it even downloads, you will see all the files there, and they will all be the right size, but they are not complete, they are empty files, but take up the required space...
so the important thing is to tell the client to "move completed files to X directory" so that you know for sure when something is done.
so to sum it all up, it's fairly simple to set up and use, but thier are a few important things you should know (how it works, protection, etc) once you decide to use them... thier's a big long explanatin that i dont feel like going into, but you can PM me if you really want to get set up...

AutoCAD can be pretty expensive. There some professional level sound/graphics/movie/ editing packages that are also real expensive.
