For those of you having problem downloading vids thru bittorrent i'll explain how you could download them.

Bit-torrent is a relatively new peer2peer software. unlike other p2p softwares , bit-torrent is a file swarming application. This means that as soon as you have downloaded a few chunks of a file it will start uploading it to others, and you become a seeder. This allows high availablity of the file you're downloading, and a popular choice for internet junkies.

To download a file you have to install a bit-torrent client first. There are loads of clients out there, you can pick one up which you feel comfortable with. i personally use this.

http://azureus.sourceforge.net/

and this is the official bittorent client:

After you have installed the client on your computer. Go to the site from where u want to download the file and save the link on your computer. The torrent file will have a ".torrent" extension. This file usually weighs around 50KB or less. Once the torrent file is downloaded double click on it. You'll get a prompt asking you where you would like to save your file. Select your destination folder/drive on your computer and click ok. Once thats done the bit-torrent client will start leeching the file.
Bit-torrent supports file resume option, so you can come back later and start downloading where you left off. Just remember to select your previous saved location( folder/drive on your compuuter).

cheers
