Mandrake is a Linux distribution.
So unless you know or want to learn how to use Linux I suggest you cancel that download

Mandrake just is a version of Linux OS. The Bit Torrent software is very small. You don&#39;t have to DL Mandrake. It&#39;s just available from the BT DL site.

Just install the software. Then find a website the offer Torrents for download like this one: http://www.torrentse.cx/ and click on a link you want. Here&#39;s another site with a BT guide (just click on the "How to use Bittorrent and Torrentspy" on top): http://www.bittorrentsites.co.nr/

you don&#39;t have to open the program. Just go to a site with torrent links, there you can download a file with a .torrent extension, and you just have to open the file with bittorrent (just doubleclick on the file in explorer or something)

It downloads directly proportionately to your upload.

It&#39;s good for new popular things, not so good for old.

Use the new experimental version. It gives you some control and more detail of what is happening. I use it with no problem.

If there are no seeds and you are near the end - tough 5h1t, you just have to wait.

Always leave on for as long as possible after your download is complete.
