Anyone who says BT sucks simply has not used it enough or perhaps used a client that their system had a problem with. Like with Kazaa, WinMX and other systems it largely depends on what you are trying to download. If it's the latest hit that everyone is trying to download or an extremely rare file only 1 or 2 people have you certainly aren't going to have it as smooth as a file that is better seeded and has been around long enough that there aren't many more times downloaders compared to seeds.
The torrents on suprnova or any other site are not "married" to the site, meaning you can post a copy of the torrent anywhere else (or send it by any means) and it will allow people to continue hooking up to download. This makes it perfect for fans of TV series that have various boards/chats. Since you are not searching the files of other downloaders it makes it more anonymous/secure and my favorite thing is that fake files are basically unheard of.
To be honest, suprnvova.org was always the second place I would go looking for particular items, since the stuff I download isn't the latest/greatest everybody's doing it files that the RIAA and MPAA are itching to sue you over. My first torrent stop is usually good ole Google and the way I've found many treasures is to simply search:
"what I am looking for" +torrent
I've used ABC (Another BitTorrent Client) exclusively for probably a year now after trying at least a dozen of them and it works very well for me. My favorite thing to use it for is downloading multiple episode sets of TV series that are not available on DVD.
If you are trying to download full-length movies, you may find faster ways but it's hard to beat the stability and security of BT, and especially the fact that you don't spend hours downloading only to find the file is fake, corrupted or mislabeled.
I'm a firm believer in "if you like it, buy it". BT has led me to purchases of things I would have never known about and also enjoy many things not or no longer available commercially.
