I have several torrents that im in the process of "unlocking" right now with utorrent. The only problem is that they are painfully slow. Is there any way to make them go faster? And whats the advantage of seeding them when they are done? Danger101

takes fuckin forever at times mate, you just gotta persevere, seedin keeps the torent alive for others to dl at a later time, alternatively get yer self on the hub my man

torrents are faster than direct downloads, but you need to have people seeding for it to work...

Hey Danger.. If you are behind a router, you will get incredibly slow torrent speed... Unless you configure your router to Forward the proper ports. I know that if you arent familiar with torrents, than my answer is as clear as mud... so check out this link... http://portforward.com/ Also, I dont know which program you are using to download, but my preference is Utorrent. Its a small stand alone program that works real well without taking over your system. www.utorrent.com

i know, thats what I run right now. I had BitComet, and it was messing up my system.
