beetles in the edit box press enter tab to the list view find the file you want
hit the context key select download your torrent client does the rest. there
are faq sheets all over the net on using torrents. really it is quite simple.

Thank you for your response to my message, Jim. This solutions seems a bit
too complicated. I really was hoping to get responses from people who had some
much simpler solutions to this problem. I will try your suggestions very soon.
I do not mind using work arounds to solve problems like inaccessible music
downloading sites. I just wish that there were some more detailed tutorials
available to enable blind people to take advantage of all of the music that is
available on the web. Fairly soon, we will not be able to purchase music from
a local cd store because these stores are closing.
Thank you for your attention to this matter.

hi really for downloading music etc the best way to go is torrents.
the best combo to use is two programs
the first is called Torrent Harvester
this program is jfw friendly for the most part. you can get it at
http://torrentharvester.awardspace.com/
here is a description of this program provided by the author on his web
page for this program
Torrent Harvester is a search program for any type of file contained on a
web page. It is currently named Torrent Harvester due to the fact that most of
the Engines are Torrent Engines, however Torrent Harvester is not limited
to searching for Torrents and can search for any type of file given the proper
Engine file.
Torrent Harvester was developed with flexibility in mind. There is
nothing hard-coded for a particular web-page, all Engine information is stored
in user-modifiable
XML files or through the included Engine Designer. This makes it
possible for users to add Engines for their own favorite Torrent sites, or
indeed any
sites which list information.
ok now you have a program to find the torrents you need a torrent
program.
the best one as far as I have been able to determent for jaws is
µTorrent
it can be had at
http://www.utorrent.com/
this is the program that deals with the downloading uploading and
seeding.
I do hope this helps.

Subject: Downloading Music
I am an avid music collector. I have many albums and cds, but I want
to begin downloading music using my pc. I have had an unpleasant experience
trying to subscribe to one of those unlimited downloads sites because Jaws for
Windows would not work with this web site because there was a great deal of
video content on the web site. Of course, I could not see this until I had
subscribed to the unlimited web site and paid $47.00 just to be frustrated.
I would like to know about web sites that work well with JFW that will
enable me to download music, especially those sites that will enable me to
download lots of music and pay a yearly subscription fee. I am also interested
about learning about peer to peer file sharing web sites that work well with
JFW and sites that work well with JFW that enable users to download sons on a
pay for song basis. I have visited the JFWLite web site. I see all of the
scripts for many music file sharing programs, but I do not know which file
sharing programs work with the current versions of specific music downloading
and file sharing web sites.
Any assistance which anyone can provide with this question would be
greatly appreciated.
