Maybe read the posts in this thread. She already found out about "Copyright infringement" as you so elegantly put it. I don't want her to get her computer infected.. and staying clear of nasties on Gnutella is something that takes a bit more effort than a 10yo can handle.
At least Torrent sites encourage sharing, which is something a 10yo should learn.
I dunno about that, I was using limewire or equivalent when I was 10. kids aren't as dumb as the people posting the nasty files, they learn quick that if the file has their exact search term and tiny size it's no good.
Granted I did see some stuff I shouldn't have, and it did have some negative effects on me, but for fucks sake, bad stuff is everywhere.
Case in point, when I was 8 or 9 somebody at the library filed some adult books in the kids section:o
I was very shocked by the sex and violence in them, but who expects the public library to have nasty things left in the kids section?
Also, many kids these days watch movies I would consider age inappropriate, I've worked with groups of 6-8 year old kids who are gleefully discussing Kill Bill:pinch:
They certainly didn't get their parents permission to watch that kind of stuff.
FWIW I would also check out the Tao of Kids TV. It's all kid's tv shows, and easy to navigate:)
EDIT: and to all the people suggesting blocking her downloading, Kids just aren't that dumb.
they will try to find ways around it, and often succeed in ways you don't expect. they are often way more savvy then you'd expect, especially when it comes to things like the internets. You only have a limited time span to spend blocking them, they have all day to think up new ways around it. And they have friends and friends older siblings to help.
And also, unless I'm much mistaken, isn't filesharing where the OP lives not illegal?

Re: Kid friendly Torrentsite
TorrentKids.org is a child-friendly site - heck it's only kids TV & Audio content lol
Re: Kid friendly Torrentsite
stick to BCG for games.
BitMe and BitSpyder for e-learning content, and stick to AnimaTooniC and animebytes for kiddie stuff.
You should be safe wid that.

so the allegations must be true
Dude seriously could you be any more of a douchebag? This guy just asking an honest question and your acting like a complete asshat. I don't even think people like you should be on this forum. This is honestly one of the most offensive and tasteless posts I've seen on this forum in a long time.
As to the OP, I believe that if you are going to make her tech savvy enough to be able to use a private torrent tracker, which is certainly not one of the more kid friendly computer concepts, I think its going to be more than simple for her to find porn on the internet by herself by circumventing whatever you do, so I don't think its worth the effort.
And if shes found out about limewire, don't do it. Tell her to stop. Whatever it takes. Otherwise in a matter of days your computers going to turn into a giant virus fest, as it is for most average users that don't know how to recognize exe's from mp3s...
