I finally figured out how to join the downloading community and now I want to share exactly (step-by-step) on how to do it. I know many of you already know how, but this is for people like me who were still having trouble.
Here is what I Did:

1. Download UTorrent from http://www.utorrent.com/ (http://www.utorrent.com/)

2. Download FLAC Frontend from here http://members.home.nl/w.speek/flac.htm (http://members.home.nl/w.speek/flac.htm)

Note: Now that you have all the tools you will need to download. It's time to get to it.

3. Find the show you want to download.

4. Save it to your desired location.

5. Open UTorrent and click "Add-Torrent." Go to where you saved your show and open it into UTorrent. It will now start downloading.

When the show is done downloading:

6. Open FLAC Frontend

7. On the FLAC window should be a button that says "Add File"

8. Go to "My Computer/Your Documents/Downloads/Here is where that file you dowloaded from UTorrent should be.

Should look like this incase your still having trouble
C:\Documents and Settings\Korey Wenstrup\My Documents\Downloads

9. Select all the songs from the show.

10. They should all now be listed in the FLAC window.

Note: Before you do anything. Look at the bottom right of the FLAC window. There should be an Output directory. Click the "..." to change it to where you will want to listen to them..(Windows Media folder, iTunes folder, etc.)

11. Highlight all of the songs and click "Decode"

12. A window should now pop up showing the progress of converting the files.

13. Finally, when it is done it should say "press any button to continue"
Congratulations, you are now done.

14. Go to where you put your output directory and all the files should be there ready to listen to.

I hope this guide has helped some people. Make sure to leave UTorrent up for a bit so other people can download from you.

Cheers

Uh, hey all... I screwed up. I just downloaded the Bit Torrent for a show (8-5-08 Cincy), and apparently was supposed to re-seed it first, before downloading the tracks from it. Now it won't let me seed it, because I downloaded its contents.

I apologize for this. It was purely unintentional.
