Default How to use torrents?

I've never tried to use them before cos I usually just use megavideo, but that's being a tit and not working. So can someone just like write a step-by-step guide on how to use it for me?

I know you need some kind of database thing for them like pirate buy or something? I'm just not sure what to do with them or anything... Or how to get them to download fast.

Oh ok. Great it's working now, thanks

Once it's got to 100% will it just work normally or will I have to convert it's file type or anything?

Popular shows should only take about half an hour at most if there are a lot of seeders.

Sometimes it speeds up loas after you first connect, it takes a minute or two.

are you downloading the latest episode?

it should pick up as more people finish downloading

If its in a video format like Avi you can watch it on your computer, if you want to burn it to disc, you may have to convert it using programs like convert x to dvd or winAvi video converter.

Some posters will post the files that make up their torrent in a compressed format, like winzip or winrar, simply unzip that file (or if its more than one go to uncompress the first file in the directory listing, it will sort the rest itself) then you will have the vid, album etc.

Wouldnt take any notice of the eta for a file as you download mopre of it, you will find your connection speeds up as you have more to offer.

Plus other seeders and peers will change over time.
