.Torrents, and how to use them - Page 3

Yeah, many people are disappointed with Vista.

So, uh, I'm only getting like 1 seed out of 2952. I don't understand what happened to make this occur. A few months ago, I downloaded a Touhou game at 200 KB/s. It's a strong chance that my ISP is doing this or, possibly an earlier version worked better.

Have anymore ideas? I'm pretty pissed about this. D:

Sorry if you're getting tired of helping me.

Even when you have the green check mark and it's a torrent from mininova/tpb?

Have you moved and/or changed ISP since?

I do, but they cost additional unnecessary cash. SSH and VPS are they. Got a firewall up?

Lunar Knight · 12/24/07, 02:00 AM

I have the green mark on and still only get a few seeders.

I don't believe I changed ISP's recently. Probably not.

I have no firewall up. =D

What does seeding mean when it's complete?

Lunar Knight · 12/24/07, 03:22 AM

Seeding means other people who are downloading the same file are downloading pieces from you.

Oh yeah, the last .rar file for Rush Hour is corrupt. :/

Fonzo · 12/24/07, 03:11 PM

then how do you use the torrents when they're done?

Lunar Knight · 12/24/07, 03:18 PM

It should be stored in My Documents. Try snooping around.

Fonzo · 12/24/07, 03:33 PM

what if it doesn't want to open? what do i open it with?

Lunar Knight · 12/24/07, 04:36 PM

Your question is pretty vague. Give an example.

Fonzo · 12/24/07, 04:41 PM

It shows a little black window and then it disappears. Thats about all it does

Fonzo · 12/24/07, 04:43 PM

It shows a little black window which instantly closes and thats about it

Lunar Knight · 12/24/07, 04:51 PM

What type of file is it? What extension at the end of the file does it have?

Zook · 12/25/07, 07:16 PM

For anyone that has downloaded an album using uTorrent, on average how long do they take?

Hollow Bastion · 12/25/07, 08:11 PM

That all depends on how good your internet connection is, how good of a torrent it is, whether you have a router (if so, do port forwarding), etc.

Lunar Knight · 12/26/07, 03:03 AM

My uTorrent speed is still cruddy even after I port forward. <_<
