well,i won't directly answer your questions.i recommend to you 
"azureus".you can find the program at azureus.sourceforge.net
it needs java runtime environment (jre) at least or java development kit 
(jdk).try the second one if you want all the plugins work. but it really 
isn't a must.download java for linux which a link is given to download 
at the site.i recommend you to use the version of java given at the site 
because you may experience some problems like cpu load otherwise.
don't use the original bittorent program(the one you are playing with 
it).you don't need it while using azureus.
well,make some googling about torrent sites.you can search it in this 
format:
torrent+sites
and download torrent files and open in azureus.you don't really directly 
search for trackers.trackers are already included in "*.torrent" files.
after some usage, you will learn about your questions by yourself.
