Can't Get Bittorrent 3.3 To Work.

[kaydeecaine]

I've downloaded BitTorrent several times and when I open up the setup they say BitTorrent has installed successfully.
After that,I open up the folder but there is no .exe file in the folder.
And they also keep on asking me to give donations.
Is this normal??
How do I get the program to work??
Can anyone help me out?

(p.s:It's the first time I want to use BitTorrent)

This should help

Oh, yeah. I'd start at Suprnova.org for your torrents:
http://209.142.250.242/~suprnova/list_news.html

heres the redirect as that mirrior might die
http://elissa.mobilefrenzy.com/get_mirror.php

also right click the torrent and chose save as
then open it, that way if you have to reboot or close the connection for some reason
you won't have to go back to suprnova


heres more torrent sites

and I would recommend you get shadows client, its color coded so if you not configerd right it will show you

The problem is that when I open the program there is no setup instructions.
How come?

[muchspl2]

its not like kazza, no GUI, no program to run
just goto suprnova with the links we gave you and follow my instructions

[kaydeecaine]

oh ok!now I see!!
Is it possible that shareaza downloads those torrent from suprnova faster than BitTorrent??

[Gre1]

Nope, I recommend u use bittorrent because shareaza will not go as fast and u can't see seeders and peers u are connected to.

[kaydeecaine]

ok!
Now what have I got to do if I want to share the stuff I got?

[b33fy]

Just bung the downloads in your k-lite shared folder and the files will be available to others when you are on-line with k-lite running

[boxofslavery]

You can also reseed the file easily
Just try to download the file again using bittorent, and save it over the already existing file. Bittorent will say "Checking existing file" then it will say "download succeeded!" and you will only upload. This cannot damage the file in any way. If anything, it will fix anything wrong with the file.

About the same from my experience, though with the new trackerless version it may prove to be better than a regular BT client, also I am guessing you could get more sources since you are using the G2 network with BT as well...

I don't like the fact it has a cut off when finish, I consider it a leeching client till they get rid of that option

I am still not clear if it does as I found that to be stupid as well if true. One thing I noticed in the new version is that it dl a torrent file now and upon completion I had two copies of the file. I'll have to goof around a little more to see how it works or what it is actually doing upon completion...

Well they are telling me at the Shareaza board that the file stays open after its complete but I've yet to see it happen oddly. I have seen G2 users ul the file after its complete but not BT ones as of yet, I'll have to try some more.

Also I might add I dl some files with both SZ and the BT client from Shadow at the same time and the SZ client was faster every time, could be that SZ has less issues with my router perhaps...
