Bit off track but not that much.
Anybody know a good way (read: fast) of downloading Bit Torrent files? I am trying to download the episode of The Lab with Leo Laporte (168) in which he talks about TheAcerGuy.
Only problem is it’s taking DAYS……

im steve from india been using utorrents software which much faster than all torrent downloader like comet,bittorent, etc..
unfortunately, it depend on numbers of seeders who have that episode which help you get it download..
If you have completed the download,put it on seed which helps others get it from you and enjoy it!!!
warm regards,

Hello there, I have been using uTorrent as well, definitly the best client of all I have used. to tweak it, limit your upload to 20~30kb/sec max in uTorrent’s preferences, then seed after it is done. since upload of 50kb/sec or higher will block your communication for other things, in result of taking longer time to “ask” for the part to download.

Thanks you two.
I’ve been sitting at 5% for three days straight and am about to give up.
I’ll install uTorrent tomorrow and see how I get on.
