    Hey guys. As a warning I am brand new to the torrent thing. I have always used Limewire but because of the advice on this board I have decided to swithc. I downloaded BitTorrent 6.0.3 and am trying to download some books in pdf form to my computer. The problem I am having is that the download seems to have stopped completely or is downloading at a snails pace.

    Currently I have 2 files that are downloading. This is how the progress on one of the files looks so far.

    Size 2.41 MB / Done 12.9% (and frozen) / Status Downloading / Seeds 0(10) / Peers 0(76)

    I remember trying the torrent thing in the past with R2K's videos and leaving it because it took me forever to download something. Am I doing something wrong here? Is there anyway to make this go faster?

    Any help would be appreciated.

    Thanks in advance.

    Are your ports opened?
