Help with Bittorrent.

greenspun.com : LUSENET : Animes : One Thread

Ok I have asked this before but unfortunatley all the advise people have given me have failed. Ok, when you have installed bittorent, what do you do next? Do you just click on the torrent link and that's all? Or what because when I click on the link all it says is that it can't be opened or played. If anyone can help please post here! I have tried everything! Thx

Try saving the torrent to your computer and then double-clicking on it. Then the bittorrent client will open up and THEN you'll start to download the file. You can't play a torrent file itself on a media player, it's usually only a few kb big.

Another way to start to download is saving the torrent file on your computer and than right clicking it. From there, something like "open with" should be there. Go to that and the bittorrent should be there; it might say something like btdownloadgui or something, but the bittorrent icon by it should be the same. Click on it and there you go, it should start up. I Hope this helps.^_^

But I'm just wondering usually how long does it take to download something off of bittorent?

As always it depends on your own speed and on how many people are downloading the same file at the moment. Depending on your own speed, you might get anything from 2kb/s to 2MB/s. The best thing to use bittorrent for is files that just came out recently. Check www.animesuki.com and anime.mircx.com for much of the latest stuff.
