What is Bittorrent?
With BitTorrent, files are broken into smaller fragments, typically a quarter of a megabyte each. As the fragments get distributed to the peers, they can be reassembled on a requesting machine in a random order. Each peer takes advantage of the best connections to the missing pieces while providing an upload connection to the pieces it already has. This scheme has proven particularly adept in trading large files such as videos and software source code. In conventional downloading, high demand leads to bottlenecks as demand surges for bandwidth from the host server. With BitTorrent, high demand can actually speed throughput as more bandwidth and additional “seeds” of the completed file become available to the group. Cohen claims that for very popular files, BitTorrent can support about a thousand times as many downloads as HTTP.

Where do I get Bittorrent?
You can grab the Official Bittorrent Program over at: www.Bittorrent.com
I though, suggest you get Azureus Program, it is a clone of the official Bittorrent Program but much faster, better design and in my opinion much better. You can grab the Azureus Bittorrent Program at: http://prdownloads.sourceforge.net/azureus...up.exe?download

Why does Azureus say I need a Java Client?
Assuming you have decided to download Azureus instead of the official Bittorrent Client, then you will need to download Java, it is small and it helps you alot in many ways by enabling faster and less memory usage on your computer. You can grab the Java Client at there official website by going here: http://www.java.com/en/download/manual.jsp

That's all, if you have questions/comments please post them and everything should be fine, peace.

I have a bittorrent, but for some reason every time it downloads an episode. Once it gets to 1 mb left, it goes back and forth between 1mb and 2mb for hours.

Edit: ok I downloaded java and Azureus.
Now what?

Aiight, now after you install Az and the Java, uninstall the old Bittorrent client you used so that Azureus is the Default Download for Bittorrent.

After that, come back to this website or any site that has bittorrent links and click one of them and then the rest is all good. Tell me if works.

how long does this take?

Less then 30 minutes on 56k Connection.
Less than 5 minutes on Cable/DSL.

d/l bittorando it is teh easiest to use. i get 170 kbp's from it on a adsl connection you can get up to 300 i've heard

I have cable/dsl and it took all night, and it still aint done.

i dont know then i se it and get every eps in 20-30 mins almost everytime sometimes its take 40-60 if i've got alot of otehr things running but overnight you must ahve a crappy compuer or something(my comp is crap though too)

Hmmm....mabeh I'm not using the java thing I downloaded right.

Bittoreent, Is good i download everything on a T1 server on campus.. and i can get around 700-1mb downloadin speed.
so it can get pretty fast

i once had 2.13 gb/s download. that is cuz i have a 5mb internet connection.

ok bittorent is not working for me is there anything else that could help it work?

Hmm, what exactly isn't working? What happens to your computer when you click the Bittorrent link?

My bittorent isnt that fast, how do i activate teh java

I d/l that Bittorent thing. I think i did something wrong on the Configuration Wizard... It's like..

Testing port 6881 ... NAT Error

Well I am obviously connected to the net... but I don't really get what that meant?

WHAT?!?!?! I have a 10mb connection and the fastest I've gotten is 146kb/s. Are you sure your not mistaken. Thats just completely unheard of. I might understand 2.13mb/s, but not gb.

the file was probably already cached.........
on a 5mb con 2.13 is as you said unheard of, even on my piddly lil 2mb I rarely go over 300kbps
