If you installed the BitTorrent 3.3 client , then just click the link of the Torrent file and it should ask you for a place to save the Torrent data , and then it should start downloading ....

Need a little more info here , does the download window popup ? Does it say " Connecting To Peers " ? Bit Torrent all depends on whether or not others have their windows open to share with others , if no one have a window open then it won't be able to get any data downloaded on your machine ....

If you're behind a firewall you might need to open up a couple ports for the data to go through

I have the Farm Aid show , but i don't have MakeTorrent or any other Torrent creation programs laying around at the moment ....

Also just because kazaa works doesn't mean Bit Torrent will , i doubt they run on the same port
