Thanks for the reply! I found a torrent once that contained the file I was looking for, and I opened it with Limewire and selected that file and a few others to download, but it would never progress. I eventually just gave up. Love your avatar, by the way!

There are public torrents that lose seeders. Too many hit & runs; people download but don't share back. I've had two torrents sitting at 30 & 60% downloaded since earlier in year but no progress in months. (I'm not the only person waiting, lots of others.)

Thanks for the tips. I remember downloading one of those other programs to try to open the torrent and it still didn't work, so I guess it is an unpopular file. Another problem is that I don't understand a lot of the p2p terminology. It seems like you have to have a degree to understand it all...
