Torrenting software?

Featured Replies

Hi guys, recently downloaded and installed utorret and am now looking to download a torrent file but I'm having a few problems. I go to the torrent site and click download, it asks to run utorrent which i allow and then once i get it inot utorrent it doesnt download, all it says is waiting for peers. Its been like that now for a good half hour? does anyone have any idea what I'm doing wrong?

There are probably no seeders/peers, or your ports aren't forwarded properly

As above really, only try to click on the Magnet link as this prevents diversion to other sites. Always sort via seeds when searching for a torrent. I use torrenz.eu or isohunt.com as search engines.

I pressed sort by seeders and it said there was around 150 so I guess from that it means I've done something wrong? How do I forward my ports properly hahaha?

Frostwire is nice and easy to use program, all in one, searching and downloading

Thanks guys, managed to download the stuff now! Saved it and realised they're ISO files? So I'm guessing I need some software for that to 'mount' them? Is that right?

DaemonTools or Free VirtualCloneDrive by Elaborate Bytes.
