No idea what's going on with this. I've downloaded a Bittorrent program, but have absolutely no idea how to run it or use it. I've had friends who've used plenty of P2P programs before, but this one eludes them too (thanks for nothing fellas)

Anyone got some topline info?

Many thanks,
patch

A guide to Bittorrent was in WebUser 103, but, in a nutshell, having downloaded and installed your bittorrent client (program) you now need to find a website that offers torrents for download. Try here. You then find the torrent you want and open (or download the torrent and then open). Your Bittorrent client should then automatically open and you should start sharing (legal files only of course!). Remember to leave Bittorrent open after your download has finished, so that you can share with others. Always aim for a share ratio of 1:1 before shutting the torrent down.

Most excellent brain - thanks!!

Unfortunately, I don't have the pleasure of having a way to buy Webuser magazine.

I spoke to one of the editors about it, since he was going to print a list of my iPod's songs in the February issue, but still don't have a way of getting to it here in the US...at least, not that I've found yet.

Therefore your assistance is greatly appreciated! Many thanks & have a great one!
