Two questions, much thanks to any answers :D

Question

1. Is there any setting that will allow me to NOT have to click the track pad twice every time I click something with it. I cannot seem to figure it out (basically I want a setting that makes the track pad act like the track pad on a Windows based laptop).
2. I want to start downloading torrents, is there a safe site to use or will I kill my Mac if I start downloading torrents?
Thanks in advance.

Hello,
Go to the Keyboard and Mouse control pane in System Preferences. There you can make the Track Pad do what you want.
Now about torrents: While P2P file sharing technology is completely legal, many of the files traded through P2P are copyrighted. Unless you live in Canada where users are shielded from P2P lawsuits, then downloading P2P files may put you at risk for a civil lawsuit in any other country. These lawsuits are usually class-action suits, filed against groups of users who blatantly copy and distribute copyrighted materials. Recently, the MPAA, the RIAA, and the governments of England and Australia took several thousand users to court, demanding that they pay thousands of dollars in copyright infringement penalties.
Your Internet Service Provider may, at their discretion, release their logs of your downloading activity to potential copyright plaintiffs. The more megabytes you download, the more you risk being sued by copyright protection groups. Please know this risk before you use any of the following Torrent search engines below.
This information came from a large torrents data base site. Remember... if you download items from someone or someplace unknown, you take the risk of getting your system ripped off, your personal data stolen, and or your system will be trashed. Don't forget that when you do P2P sharing what lets you go out and find things, lets other come in to your computer and find things too.
