OK, Cono told me where to download a good bit torrent program, but everytime I try to do this it's slow because it says I need to open some port with my Linksys wireless router. Help.

There should be some kind of software configuration for your router installed on your computer. That is where you would be able to change the port details and such.

I did have to install software off a CD to get the router working, so when I get home tonight, I'll look into that. Thanks. How do I know which port to open? All of them?

http://portforward.com/english/routers/ ... rindex.htm

click on your router there and then go to Utorrent. it's pretty self explanatory from there on.

You can actually still have everything work and not open your ports. It will just be slower. Also, it's possible that there is no firewall, or if there is one, it is disabled or misconfigured. In which case your system is extremely vulnerable.

dude, the GH comp is like 5 gigs. 0.7% in 5 minutes is a pretty fast start.
