Torrents FFS!

[Biscuit]

Shit.

Trying to download some stuff, NONE of it bloody works! I've got my firewall to allow ABC to connect to the net, clicked on the file I want from torrentspy.com and opened it in the program. Allways 0.0% complete and won't advance.

Can some computer type PLEASE tell me what I'm doing wrong! More trouble than its worth this crap.

Find a file that haas people seeding it?

 

[rospants]

the more seeders and leechers the particular download has, the quicker it downloads i think

High Seeders
Low Leechers

You know it makes sense !!! With torrentspy.com

Have you opened the port(s) that your torrent software is using on your firewall?

I use Azereus. In the options tab, then connection, I've set the port that it's going to use. On my firewall, I've then created a service for this port and allowed incoming/outgoing.

Hope this helps.

µTorrent

It's very fast, lean on resources (compared to Java-based Azureus the difference is HUGE), very easy to use and requires no installation. Highly recommend it.

I unplugged it, put it back in its box, spent £80 sending it back to myself, plugged it back in, turned it on and still doesn't work!
