"Bit Torrent....buh?"

Anyone have the clinet software that allows you to download stuff?

I've checked the forums and it's all very confusing.

Thankyouplease

Oh and this is how I think it works

You start downloading bits of your file (song, video whatever it is) in bits, you get a bit from one person and another bit from someone else and so on.

As this goes on people download the bits from you and the more uploads you have (people downloading from you) the faster your download becomes.

It's gets faster and faster as you go on.

:)

Yeah I have to switch my virus thing off before I can download from it.

suprnova and torrentbox are where I get my stuff, whoooo

Once you find a decent client and set up the port forwarding for your firewall/router then it works very well.

I'm using the shadows experimental client which I find works well.

I use TorrentStorm.. actually a it's easy enough to use

I use ABC client, which you can configure to keep the torrent alive for only 1/2 and hour after it's completed, and it minimises to the system tray.

How's Afternoon a regular? He's only had 5 posts totalling 193 word. I thought you needed 300 posts and 10000 words? Not that i'm jealous or anything... [S]blush's[S]

BitTorrent is easy. I've had it over a year, you're all slow AND dumb :0D

What client are you using?

All mine ever does is 'connect'... Never actually get onto the downloading bit.

Ya i found bittorent pretty confusing aswell..
