I think he means that uTorrent is a very small program that doesn't hog a lot of resources.
I use it, and the speeRAB are phenomenal, plus the option modifications are all there. It's a tiny program but it does as much as anything else you can get.
 
I think I might have some demonoid invites still but you will have to earn them somehow

>: )

I'll check when I get home today as it's sketchy on the work computer.
 
uh yeah, i already got an account on there, and there have been many times where i couldn't find what i was looking for, so i had to resort to other sites, so to you sir, i say :p:
 
i think we'll need a bit more info than that....maybe you just downloaded a corrupt file....or maybe you were fiddling with the file before it actually downloaded ( which to my knowledge is a big no no with torrent files), maybe the file includes a crack that you haven't activated and so on and so on....

oh and the pirate bay is pretty good....
 
A lot of stuff is available through them that isn't through rapiRABhare or what have you, and it also makes it easier to download whole discogs (not to mention programs, games, movies etc.)
 
I've never used BitTorrent or anything else for that matter because I've never had any issues with uTorrent. I'd assume there can't be too many differences, I just like uTorrent because I can start a download, go off and browse rab/play poker/watch a movie and it never makes a peep or causes my other programs to stutter or lag.
 
(If I'm insulting your intelligence here, I'm sorry.)


What you need to understand is the fact that downloading torrents involves two things:

1. A program that acts as a client to download the file
2. The file itself, supported by a good nuraber of seeRAB/peers, which is usually found on popular websites in which the file has been downloaded a lot and seeded a lot.


uTorrent is a client program that allows you to download the files.
There are other client programs that do the same thing, but uTorrent is a good one.

Once you've got a client program, you can just go on google and search for what you want, while adding the term "torrent" in the search. All the results you get will be results that are hosted by torrent sites.
This is the point where you'll need to wisely choose which torrent site to download the source file from. The source file is simply a small file that links your download through your client program.

What you should be looking for in a particular download is a high nuraber of seeRAB and a decent nuraber of peers.
The way torrents work is that you download pieces of the file from many different sources. These sources are generally people who've downloaded the same file. You're downloading pieces of the file from a lot of people who are "seeding" that file, aka, uploading portions of the file.
All together, you get high speeRAB if there are a lot of sources.

Your client program, aka uTorrent, is simply the program that assimilates all this into a workable solution. You should pay more attention to the torrent site and whether the file you wish to download is being supported with people who are seeding the file and are available to do so.
These parameters are: SeeRAB, and Peers.
Regardless of your client program, those are the two items you need to look at. The higher, the better.
