How do I download files using Bittorrent?

Blackhole Motorsports
BitTorrent is not like other peer-to-peer applications (such as Winmx, Kazaa, Gnutella, etc.) in that it does not have its own "universe." Put another way, BT lives on top of the Web, which means that all of the searching/listing of available files is done on the web, in our case in the download section of Blackhole Motorsports. When you find a file you want to download, you click on it and the BitTorrent client program will run and ask you where to put it, and then start downloading.

I'm behind a firewall/NAT, can I use BitTorrent?

BitTorrent/FAQ - Anarchopedia
Yes, but you will get better performance if other peers can connect to you. By default, BitTorrent listens on port 6881, trying incrementially higher ports if it's unable to bind. It gives up after 6889 (the port range is configurable.) It's up to you to figure out how to poke a hole in your firewall/NAT.

What is BitTorrent and how do I use it?

Home of the Underdogs - Frequently Asked Questions
From Wikipedia: BitTorrent is a peer-to-peer (P2P) file distribution tool. You can get the latest version from the official site and read the well-written documentation and FAQ there. We offer the BitTorrent download option for large downloads on the site. If you get a slow download speed, that is likely because there is not enough seeders for that file yet.

How do I use BitTorrent to download?

MixDepot.net > Help > FAQ
BitTorrent is an extremely efficient peer-to-peer download system, where all users share a portion of their upload bandwidth to others downloading the same file. The more popular a file is, the faster you will be able to download it! BitTorrent starts with a ".torrent" file. This small file contains the address of the main tracker server that connects you with others downloading the file. After downloading a torrent file, you will need a BitTorrent client to open the file and begin downloading.

Is it safe to download and share files using the Bittorrent network?

Blackhole Motorsports
You may have heard some bad things about other P2P networks (spyware, viruses, etc...) but, BitTorrent is totally different. Most P2P programs install on your computer and many of the programs for MS Windows come "bundled" with other programs that get installed as you install the program. These programs range from the annoying (which produce pop-up ads) to the downright nasty (which include spyware to track your surfing habits).

Can I download and use RelationshipSecure if I am behind a network firewall?

Relationship Secure > Frequently Asked Questions
Yes, as long as the firewall allows normal http and SSL (secure sockets layer) connections. RelationshipSecure uses regular "http" and "https" requests to set up mailings and transmit faxes via the Internet. The 407 error is generally associated with using a proxy server. Check with your network administrator about the settings of your proxy server. Your administrator may need to change the settings for www.relationshipsecure.com so .exe files can be downloaded.

Why should I leave BitTorrent running after the download?

BooYa!
It's considered a good practice to leave BitTorrent running even after your download is complete -- if everyone closes their downloads there will be no "seeds", or complete downloaders to download from. Please try and leave the client running atleast until your "share ratio" is 1.0 or more, i.e. when you have uploaded atleast as much data as you have downloaded.

Should I use the Internet Connection Firewall on a computer that is also behind a hardware firewall?

Firewall: FAQ
Yes. You should turn on the Windows XP Internet Connection Firewall for all computers in your home network. This helps prevent the spread of viruses or worms across your network if a computer is infected. A computer on the network could become infected through a separate Internet connection, such as one on a laptop that is used on your home network and on public networks.

My firewall bars EXEcutable files. How can I download my SalaryExpert report?

SalaryExpert.com: FAQs
Some computer security systems will not permit any executable program to be downloaded. With firewalls erected against today's many common viruses, many security systems don't even try to distinguish between viruses and actual requested programs. Sometimes, anything with an "EXE" ending is automatically classified as a virus and excluded; or the executable file might be stripped from the zipped packet by your security program. When that occurs, call 877.799.

Can I also use Uploader to download files?

Optimalisatie Promotie Zoekmachine Web CEO
You must be having 'Page only' filter switched on. Unselect the filter, and you'll have all files back. You probably have enabled some checking that is not allowed by your host server. For example, you have turned on the host ping, but there is a firewall or something like that on your server that locks the host ping. So when our service is trying to ping your server and fails, you receive the alert message. Open the Services tab, uncheck the host ping service and press Apply.
