yea, the basic bit torent client works fine. I just like bit tornado cause it's easy on resources when you only have one torrent running and you can see how many seeds and stuff you have (so you don't have a torrent running for days with no whole copies out there to get).

so walk me through here. do i open bit torrent first?

You shouldn't have to open bit torrent (when it installed it associates itself with .torrent file types). Here's a basic walkthrough.

1. Find a torrent and download it (somewhere you can locate it like my documents or the desktop).
2. Once downloaded, find the torrent and open it.
3. Bit torrent should automatically open and ask you where you want to save the game to.

Watch bit torrent and make sure you get connected and it starts downloading. There may be issues if you're behing a firewall.

Are you on a network and connecting through a router (wireless or regular)?

Once it's done downloading, we may be dealing with the rar issue again, but let me know what torrent you get and we'll see what's in it.

regular.

Cool. Then you shouldn't have to worry about connect issues unless you have a software firewall running (which you can just shut down if you have problems).

ok dude got it dling. ill keep you posted.

[benagain]

cool cool. If you've got the torrent running, then the only hard part is getting the downloaded files ready to play the game (which we can better help you with now cause we can get the torrent and see whats in it). Good Luck!

damn the speed is slow. its highest is 2kb. what gives?, i got broadband.

sometimes it can take a few mins to connect to the seeds. Ususally bad speeds is a result of blocked ports (hardware and software firewalls are to blame there). It took me some messing around with the setting of bit torrent and my router, but now i download anywhere from 200-400k with torrents with high seeds.
