Erin -- install Azureus, and start the torrent -- while it's still listed in the top half of the window, it's not done yet, but you can get all OCD on watching the time tick by. When it's complete, it jumps to the lower window, and you can watch it then.

You don't need VLan or Divx or any viewing related thing until then.

So I uninstalled Azureus and the VLAN thing.

You mean you installed them? or downloaded the install files?

Well, you download the .torrent file, that should not take long. Save it to your desktop to find it easily.

Then double-clicking on that file launches the bittorrent client, or you open it from within Azureus to start the download of the BIG file.

Installed, and going to torrrent site to load again. I'm all determined and obstinate now.

Ok, the Alias download was jinxed, so I switched. Now, the big dowload, that takes some time, right?

Like, an hour or something?

Sometimes more, sometimes less, but yeah, that's about right.

Okay! *Rubs hands together*

Maybe I'll survive without TV after all!

EDIT Thw download bar says ETA 1 day and 22 hours. Is that a lie? or am I doing something wrong? I have Roadrunner.

It always starts slow.

BTW, if you go under tools...Options in Azureus, you can click on "Connections" and change the default port to some random 5 digit number. I tend to use a number between 40,000 and 65,000.

Some of the higher speed torrent folk block the default port. Plus? there's a theory the MPAA is using the default port to confirm you are using torrents, so....

Ok, i understand HOW to do that, but I don't understand why. Treat me like the village idiot on this stuff, folks.
