I was recently using Vuze but after downloading some movies my mom got a call from Verizon about it so I need to use something else
Heh, probably via HTTP, actually. As long as it’s public domain content that is freely distributable, there is a very good chance that the artist has it available through HTTP or FTP, since they want to make it as easy as possible to reach potential customers.
If the artist or director offered it only through Bittorrent, for example, then they would lose a large sector of the market. They might reach some customers, since most people know how to use Bittorrent, but there is also a very large number of potential customers who have probably never even heard of Bittorrent or ed2k, much less do they know how to use those protocols. Therefore, they would grow frustrated by their ignorance and give up quickly. Every time this happens, the artist or director loses another potential customer. That is why, for example, most Linux distributions are available via many, many methods, including HTTP for those who are either computer illiterate, lazy/greedy or who have bandwidth restrictions, FTP, Bittorrent, for those who have greater bandwidth, and mail order, for those with *very* limited bandwidth (or none at all).
As much as content distributors hate to admit, for the majority of the market, it is easier and faster to distribute via HTTP and *sometimes* FTP, since many modern browsers have integrated FTP support and the end-user doesn’t really have to know what they’re doing.

You can’t then. If Verizon is tracking you, you’re done.

That’s very risky. If Verizon caught you, then they could send you to jail. GET RID OF THEM
