My friend asked me to download the torrent files for her and after they are all downloaded to burn them to a disc. My problem is though that I have left BitTorrent open, but it doesn't download anything.

It stays at 0%. Am I just being impatient or do I need to change settings?

im using azureus and it took me awhile to set it up lol. it was really confusing. I believe you need to make/open a port for your bittorrent and also disable you firewall (XP firewall)

It also depends on the amount of seeding and people downloading it.

Yup, something's wrong. There are a lot of seeds, but you can't connect with any of them.

I just recommend you use Bit Tornado, download it. It's real simple and it's the most efficient, imo.

Are you behind a firewall?

Make sure your port is open, also. If you're using port 6881 (default), sometimes the tracker will ban you just because.

tell me how to disable XP firewall T_T

cuz theres no seeds!

I'd use BitComet.
Anyways you're downloading 4 or 5 torrents that are in the range of 3-5 Gigabytes.

You guys rock. I unblocked the firewall and I'm using BitComet now so it's all dandy. It's slow, but at least its working now =)
