"There's Also Bitches" (Boondock Saints summarizes my feelings on most things)

BitTorent: You have no quick, user-friendly instructions and your FAQ is a morass of confusion. A quagmire. Like Vietnam. I think its interesting that we now expect such a degree of computer literacy that we don't think it necessary to facilitate the learning curve, we just whelp out a little program still squirming and expect people to stare deeply into the wee buttons until they grok their functions.



...



So.


Does anyone have fecking BitTorent/knowledge of how it functions?

u torrent > bit torrent

(even though it is actually mu [the greek letter] torrent but goes by "u" torrent)

I give this statement a hearty trufax. utorrent also has an extensive help page.

I'll give it a go! Dankeschun or however that's spelled.

I like Azureus. It has a pretty good FAQ.

I'm on it like a bonnet. Those are on things, right? Like, heads? Yeah. Anyway, I downloaded it and it's rocking my face. Thanks!

I like Azureus too. Go download Azureus. Then go to sites like http://www.isohunt.com and search for whatever you want to download. Click on said movie or whatever, click on "download", and it should automatically open up in Azureus and start downloading.

If you want, sometime you can come over to my place or I can hop on over to yours and give you a quick rundown of how I download bittorrents (and show you around Azureus a bit). That's if you haven't figured it out yet, of course.

Actually, Azureus is way user friendly, if somewhat slow (but I get the rather rare file, so who the fuck cares if it takes a day to get it?) and I have groked it! Thanks so much for the info!

I would say something about it but I have a terrible tech help record with you.

Steven, what if we don't have computer chemistry?! What if we're incompatible on separate systems in separate beds? What does this mean for our future together? Should we... get tech support from other people?
