Goose: Read up on bittorrent. I prefer Azureus as a bittorrent client. If you are behind a router at home, you'll have to set it up to do some port forwarding so that peers can connect to you (when you "download" something using bittorrent, you're also uploading. If no one is able to connect to you and download from you, then your download rate will suck. This is where the port forwarding comes in because, when the request gets to your router, it doesn't know which machine on your network to send it to otherwise.). I don't know about other home routers, but in the Linksys series of home routers, you can configure this in the "Applications & Gaming" section of the administration interface. I only bring all this up because I'm under the impression that you do have a router at home.

Unfortunately, you need a special software and some time to set-up your machine. I also use azureus as bittorrent client and you can download it for free.
AZUREUS LINK
http://azureus.sourceforge.net/

After that you have to set-up port forwarding in your router. This site below tells you how to do it by router and by bittorrent client.

If you have a firewall, then this link will provide you step by step process on how to allow your bittorrent client to go through the firewall..

Good luck but I have to say everything is worth it afterwards. I am a big fan of boxing and pool... and i am happy to say i get what i want to watch anytime :rolleyes:

I had started doing that since my post. I won't be able to use it with the computer I am currently on since it is company owned and won't allow me to download applications.

I have a Netgear router (for wireless). I will investage when I get home

Couldn't get Azureus to work at my computer a while ago. Tried UTorrent which is also very nice software and works well. Recommended. Also, quite light software to run in the background, doesn't hog up the CPU nor the memory.

Edit: oh yeah, logged in with username buddy :)
