BitTorrent 4.0.2
The official BitTorrent client has been updated to work with Tiger. I was having problems with 4.0.1 after the OS upgrade, but this version seems to have fixed those issues. (It was released on Sunday but I didn't check the website until now.)
Just an FYI for anyone else experiencing freezes or crashes.

Where exactly does one find torrents? Do you search the web with google for torrents, or like where do you get yours? I've never understood this. I'm old-school, used to searching for stuff, in , say, Xnap or MLDonkey.
Several sites makes lists, and then people can add their file(s) to it. This is the way all the warezz sites work..
But many normal sites have picked up on the technology, and for instance, MacGameFiles.com have started hosting larger files in this way. Blizzard is also a large company which has started sending out movies/updates/etc in this method.

You can use Google if you use the "filetype:torrent" modifier after your keyword(s). For example: "simpsons filetype:torrent"
You can also search Google for torrent-tracker sites, such as BTefnet, which host torrent files and allow users to post new ones.
The .torrent file is basically a text file with info on the larger (binary) file you want to download. You open the .torrent file from the BitTorrent client, and it begins downloading the large file from your peers over the network.

BTW I found Azureus to be more efficient (i. e. higher average download rate) than the official client.
