Re: please help....
so, you have utorrent. So, download a torrent file from whatever website has torrents you want. Save the torrent file. Usually just a tiny 30kb or so file. Right click the file, and choose 'open with' and choose utorrent. utorrent should open and the file should begin downloading. If nobody is seeding the file, there's nobody for you to be taking it from. The big file doesn't sit on some server somewhere. People have to be actively sharing it. Usually on the site you download it from, it will say how many people are currently seeding it. If nobody is seeding it, you might not wanna bother downloading it. If all this doesn't work, then yes, check firewalls, or try simply closing the firewall altogether for a minute just to see if that is the problem and then fix it from there (open a port). I use BitLord for torrents and have no problems. Using MS Vista.
