it depends on the client youre using also, I'm still using Shadow's Experimental and it works perfectly.
speed issues are usualyl sue to the number of seeds that youre connected to - if youre behind a firewall, you need to open ports also.
as for whats available, pretty much anything so long as you know where to look. Suprnova is great for new stuff, but the older stuff us usually hard to get because there arent many seeds - and since thats a free or unmodded site, people leech & run. A site liek Sharingthegrrove (a site for sharing/trading concert bootlegs) or Emponium (yes, porn) they monitor your stats - if you leech more than share/seed, youre IP is banned, as are you.
when I fisrt started using it, I hated it - mainly because I wasnt aware of the router/port settings. Once I got that cleared up, I haven't looked back. I've gotten more movies, music & apps from it than anything else. For older stuff, IRC still pretty much rules, however.
