    Google still works....I'm sure you'll be able to find something on there.
    I'm sure this site does not condone pirating, so my advice is to use the p2p program legally.

    1. Depends on the client. There are specialized p2p programs and networks like shareaza, ed2k and whatnot, there are generic bitorrent clients like utorrent, there are media clients that stream videos and music p2p, and there are proprietary clients used by certain companies to distribute files. The first of these is best for single files, while bitorrent clients are the fastest. Usually though, you choose the method based on the type of file you're downloading.

    2. Problems with p2p - possibly security concerns and viruses, as with anytime you dl random files off the internet or allow others to connect into your computer. A whole bunch of legal concerns if you pirate stuff and dl copyrighted stuff too.

    3. If you're using Norton 360, you already paid for it most likely. In that case, at least use up your 1-year subscription. There are better out there, and there are programs less intrusive and bloated (although the latest Norton solutions have been getting slightly better), but since you already paid for it, might as well get your money's worth---unless you absolutely can't stand its bloatedness.

    Edit: Insert standard disclaimer about not advocating or being affiliated with piracy and whatnot here..etc etc etc...
