How does a torrent work?

More info?
Are you plugged directly into a modem or thru a router?

You have to do some tweaking for it to work right. Basically you have to allow people access to certain ports so they can download the file from you. Brock and others could probably help you better with this.

you have to dl a bit torrent program, I prefer shadows bit toreent client: http://www.bittornado.com/ (now called bittornado) then just simply dl the torrent and when it opens it will use that program, if the light is green youre good to go. If its yellow for an extended period of time youre firewalled, come let us know and we'll help you from there.
