Ok, I'm really confused....I downloaded utorrent to my computer and clicked on the torrent I downloaded and a box popped up saying: "to open this file, Windows needs to know what program created it. Windows can go online to look it up automatically, or you can manually select from a list of programs on your computer." so I clicked ok and this popped up: http://img266.imageshack.us/img266/1871/blahblahblahlv4.jpg

I'm really confused, can someone help me?

@perfection_001
It means there is currently no program associated with the .torrent extension (i.e. Windows does not know what program to open it with). Either open the torrent from within uTorrent or associate uTorrent with torrent files. In uTorrent go to Options -> Preferences -> General -> Windows Integration and click on "Associate with .torrent files".

Hey I'm new here and i want to know how to view my bit torrent download.
I'm no computer person but i really wanna understand how this works.
I was surprised when the files downloaded sos fast then i found out that I dont have a compatible program to view the download. Help Pls. thnx! Smile

hi i open the ports 6881 - 6889 and was able to download. xD
but my internet connection disconnected me (it happens at times....) and i'm not able to download anymore....

can anyone gimme a rough guide?

how many kb/s shd it be for downloading in order to be consider normal/fast?

my speed is usual between 0-30 kb/s......

i've change the firewall and ip address already... the yellow sign has also changed to green.

is there anythg that i can do to increase the downloading speed? it seems like some ppl can download at approximately 150 kb/s which is soooooo amazing!! Tongue

thanks for everyone's help!! Mr. Green

sorry but i'm here again with queries......

what is the difference between an external ip address and the one given to you in your computer (ie. when u hit "cmd" in run, den hit "ipconfig/all"?

do need you help!!

thanks alot!! xD

miracles: sorry, but i don't use bitcomet. i use bittornado(.com). are you willing to give that client a shot? i think it's very configurable. download, install, click on torrent link, open with btornado.

click on 'prefs', you can change your port range to something like 7654-7664 or whatever. make sure your router matches. most people don't recommend 6881-6999 anymore.

you can change the default save location. save.

hopefully, you tested your upload speed. set it at about 85% of your max.

give it some time. light should turn green and you should be good to go.

dear dear jholic!!

bitTornado really seems much easier to use!! xD but there's a part i dun quite get it.... how do i start the download for the 2nd torrent file slmultaneously?

i've got the bitcomet active as well and whenever i try to open the torrent file with bitTornado, it goes back to the bitComet client (i've unactivated bitcomet as the default client already....)

pls pls reply me and i'm off to a nice start!! cheers
