Hey guys

I'm having a lot of trouble trying to get bittorrent work properly. I downloaded it and got some torrent files for it but two had an error message and one is going VERY slow. Does anyone know what to do?

Torrents are usually used for downloading copyrighted materials illegally..and we cannot help you with that..if you are trying to download some legal torrents..we can talk further..

How many seeds are you downloading from? How fast is your Internet connection? What BitTorrent client are you using?

Please refrain from immediately accusing people of engaging in illegal activity, even if it may seem as though there is a likelihood of that being the case. It is very off-putting, especially if the member asking has recently joined. Remember, innocent until proven guilty.

Ditch Bittorrent, it is old and useless. Get Vuze (my choice) or Transmission. That should solve it.

Vuse used to be a bit slow but a newer update has fixed that for me. I have had the best luck with Vuse for the very little torrenting I do.
