BitTorrent for QUICK downloads

Several sites have started using this to allow people to download stuff quickly, without overloading their network. A good example of this is Fanimatrix. This is a individiual that made a mini-movie. If he hosted the 140MB file on his own server he would overload his ISP with downloads. So BT allows people to download it... and while downloading it, they share with others.

To get BitTorrent to work you will first need to install Bit Torrent 3.2.1. This installs quickly and there are NO desktop icons in the start menu! This is because BitTorrent isn't a 'thick client', it gets launched after you download a stub of the file you are getting off the BitTorrent network. You will find the link below is a link to a .TORRENT file, which is like 56k big. That stub involks the BitTorrent client to pull down the 379MB install. Very COOL!

You may notice that downloads are very slow... if this is the case, then your computer is probably behind a firewall. Try opening ports 6881 to 6889, or put your machine in the DMZ temporarily. If you have questions about that email me.
