There are a few ways you can get the episodes; direct download, IRC and - the most widely used - Bittorrent.
Bittorrent can be a good idea if you are a modem user, as you can pause and resume the download at any time, without needing to start over again.
Direct Download
NarutoMania
You must be a member of their forums in order to be able to download. It's a good idea to be an active partcipant in there as well since they may delete accounts that are only used for downloading.
IRC
Naruto Chuushin
They have an IRC channel equipped with bots, so you can download the latest manga and anime from there. However, be warned they sometimes get very busy.
Bittorrent
Since the anime series is now licensed, the Naruto torrents can no longer be found at AnimeSuki and Scarywater. However, there are other, non-US, subbers that have continued to carry on, especially since ShoPro will take a long time to catch up - if ever.
Having said that, please support the series by buying the official DVDs, manga and merchandise!

BitTornado allows you to get more information on your connection by letting you know if you are getting the best out of it or if you need to adjust a firewall/port forwarding (it goes yellow if you need to).AnimeOne
http://www.gotwoot.net - Best for quality.
Dattebayo

Q: I can't wait for the episodes to be translated / I want to have clean screenshots without any subtitles / I want to try subbing!
Well, there are two providers of the Naruto RAW (original Japanese version with no subtitles). One is Saiyaman, and the other is l33t-raws
Saiyaman - They are the fastest providers, BUT their encoding is quite glitchy in places so unless you're REALLY desperate to see the episode, you should wait for l33t-raws.
l33t-raws - Much better than Saiyaman from what I hear. They also provide forums and an IRC channel for downloading.
Q: I downloaded the episode, but I can only get sound, or it won't play at all!
You just need to download the correct video codecs for your media player.
XviD Org - These are the codecs that Naruto episodes normally use and will work with DivX as well.
DivX Com - It can sometimes help to have the official DivX codecs as well to fill in any gaps XviD might have, this works well for some older episodes.
Q: How can I take screenshots?
As you may already be aware, a simple tapping of "Print Screen" won't work because the video is on a different layer to the desktop so you will only get a black box. However, there is a program you can use to play the video AND take shots:
VirtualDub
You use CTRL+1 to take a shot and paste it to the clipboard. You will need to have an image program running so you can paste the screenshots as you go along. It can be slow and repetitive copying and pasting shots, but this program is completely free as well. It's also the best way to make animations since you can go frame by frame (tapping the arrow keys).
HyperSnap DX
This is a good screencap utility that can capture images from ANYTHING running on your PC. It can also automatically paste/save images so all you need to do is keep tapping the capture button. But the downside is it costs a little money.
Well, that's all for now. I hope this helps.
