BlankHi, I tried http://www.thepiratebay.org
BTW: I only installed the Bit torrent software. Is there something I'm
missing here?

What torrent did you go to. I've never had that. Some places you may havee to
pay or havee limited time. I stay away from these, and stick with only free
ones.

Hello,
I have installed this and went to a site to try it out. I must be missing
something with jfw in the settings screen because I can't seem to change my
upload/download rates. A file I tried to download said that I had 35 days time
remaining for a download? Is this right? or, is jfw not focussing on a
settings button?
Thanks...Keith

Hi torrents are used to download big filees from otheer people. It
doesn't work quite like kazaa and otheer per to per sharing programs. What
happens is you are getting bits of a file from other people who are downloading
thee same thing. So, the more people you have downloading the same file as you,
the faster you can get the file. Also while you are downloading a file someone
else is getting bits of the file from your system as well. You use bit torrent
program to download these files. All you havee to do is install the program bit
torrent. Then you find torrent sites that have trackers to connect to in order
to download thesee files. Example, I went on a site, and was ablee to find Star
wars Revenge of thee Sith. I downloaded it, and played it using the vlc
software. You can go to bit torrent. Oops You can go to www.bittorrent.com to
get the program. Jaws speaks all the install prompts. Once thee program is
installed, you don't need to do anything else with that program, just find
torrent sites to go to.
