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.

Oh, that's hilarious!

I'm going to have to ask you to be more specific on what you want the why of.

Will changing the default port connection better my speed? And also, who's the MPAA and why would they care?

Crap, I missed the whole 'i' discussion. Anyway, calculus seems almost as bizarre to me as 'i'. You could describe intergral calculus as adding up an infinte number of infinitely small things. (Not technically correct, but... that's one way of looking at it.) Which is bizare, and fun (for some of us) and also very useful.

who's the MPAA and why would they care?

The MPAA is the motion pictures organization who believes that you are out the bankrupt the entertainment industry as we know it by getting your TV shows off the Internet rather than watching it on TV with ads, like a decent person. They're the TV/movie version of the music organizations who want all music downloads stopped in the name of fighting piracy.

Oh, duh. I feel like a dork for not making that connection.

Will changing the default port connection better my speed?

It seems to help, in that the people with faster torrents will play with you.
