same here, but a private server is better or even a private torrent site.

Also download and use a program called PeerBlock. It keeps a blacklist of IPs that supposedly belong to anti-P2P groups and doesn't allow a connection so that you don't upload anything to them.

utorrent + PeerBlock ? Peerblock Site is all the steps I take.

I've heard of it, but never used it. Guess I might as well start using it now!

I use emule, torrents are a lot easier and you seem to find stuff easier. Are there any sites now to get torrents?

I use thepiratebay, used to use mininova till it went legit.

Is PeerBlock easier to use than PeerGuardian was back in the day?

PeerBlock is a fork of PeerGuardian, the same but still actively developed.
