umm... kyle... its suprnova.org, not supernova.org (drop the "e")

supernova.org is a scam site that tries to get people to pay for filesharing (does anyone else see the irony in that?)

on the otherhand, suprnova.org is a torrent site. if you actually are going to try bittorrent (which i reccomend you do, just be carful with really popular stuff) you might also want to look at isohunt.com

edit: (response to jhill)

you don't have to worry about the sharing aspect of BT much. you open a torrent file that you download from a site. you begin downloading that file from a pool of users, who are also downloading the same thing. as soon as you get a fragment of the file (usually 256KB) you begin sharing it with others automatically. they all do the same, and as a result, the load on the server isn't nearly as high.
