wtf is up with that mandrake thing!? is it suppost to be so big and download so slow :\
<_< bump
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't have to DL Mandrake. It's just available from the BT DL site.
yippe now i got what like 1.5 gigs downloaded over night and turned out to be useless crap! :angry:
ok how to i get bittorrent to work then
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's another site with a BT guide (just click on the "How to use Bittorrent and Torrentspy" on top): http://www.bittorrentsites.co.nr/Quote:

sorry Stonecoldfreak1 no offense intended. :P
you don'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)
well what im wondering is 1. is it always so slow?
2. are there tools like speed up?
3.seems like this might have some security problems
4. im juust not using it right <_< :lol: :lol:
any opinions?
It downloads directly proportionately to your upload.
It'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.
