Using Bit Torrent. How?

[holyghost]

I was told bit torrent is a great way for downloading stuffs so I went to the website & downloaded the program & next thing I find is, I have no idea how it works. It doesnt have a program for me to run such as Kazaa. I tried search through the F&Q, & help files but still not an idea how it works. Anyone can teach me how to use Bit Torrent?

Find a .torrent you want to download and open that .torrent with the bittorrent program.

What program do I need to install? Where can I find the .torrent files?

you need to look on the internet for torrents. filerush.com has good legal ones for game demos and such.

I suggest using Azureus as your bittorrent client. It's not a torrent finder though.

Tanks guys. I think I finally got it. Only problem now is sometimes I can't connect to the website. I wonder why?

just leave your torrent window open. You have to be patient with torrents...eventually it should connect... suprnova.org has some good torrents

What website?

One thing to note, if you let BitTorrent max your upload on your cable/dsl line, then you will have a hard time surfing and playing online games because nothing else can go out... That's why I use Azureus, you can limit the upload to something that won't choke your connection.
