Quote:I really think I am officially retarded when it comes to downloading shared files Every site i go to I get more confused. I get pages not found or website not responding or I go places and I have no clue what I am doing.If you are referring to Torrent sites, don't feel too bad. they do move often.
even if you have a site, you need to
1) install the bittorent file, or some other version
2) download the torrent file -best to do is right click and do the "save target as". if you just double click on the file, it will attempt to start the download. if right click and save the torrent, you can start/restart later
3) when you click on /start the torrent, you've got to hope that it is currently running somewhere. new files there is a good chance. old files much less likely.
If you want you can always stop by #opieanthony - I can help you if I'm there, or anyone else might (you can get there by going to <!-- m --><a class="postlink" href="http://opieanthony.net/modules.php?name=Chat_Room">http://opieanthony.net/modules.php?name=Chat_Room</a><!-- m -->, or by using an irc client and using access.irc.net.
Here is a tutorial for that if you haven't used mIRC (just note: you may need tou use access.irc.net instead of opieanthony.irc.net) #opieanthony irc chat tutorial
