torrent download question
 

Could anyone please tell me exactly how to download a torrent (like from Pirate Bay) with Limewire. I'm totally new when it comes to torrents but finally found a few movies that i've been searching for, but couldnt get a good copy from Limewire. I however am a little confused as how to download the torrent w/LW.:o
Thanks!

Open your limewire and then in another window open Pirate Bay select your file that you want to download and click on download this torrent...It will automatically open up in Limewire for you and start downloading if there's enough seeders around...;)

:idea: Thank you very much. I knew i had to do something similar to that, just wasnt sure EXACTLY how:o . Thanks!:xeri_ok1ani:

Everytime I tried, it wouldnt open/start in anything. I tried downloading "Azureus" & so now it just will open/download in Azureus automatically (which I would much prefer it to use Limewire)... Where am I going wrong?:confused:

Are you using the Beta version of Limewire as it is the only one that has torrent access at the moment...;)

Duh, I remember reading that, I just had totally forgot it. I'm sorry:o!
In that case, do I have to uninstall my regular version if I want to use the beta version? Is the beta version about as good as the normal one?

Thanks!

I like the Beta it's very good...You don't have to uninstall your version, you can install the beta straight over the top of it...;)

I just installed the Beta version (to see if that fixed my "other problems") and now the torent is running in limewire just fine.
But Limewire is clocking at anywhere from 8-12 KB/s, while with Azureus I regularly get 120 kB/s
What's the deal with that do you think?
Is that likely ot be the norm, i.e. 1/10th the speed?

Cheers,
