Personally, I think the best torret software is Azureus. NB: I have a high-speed cable connection and have WinXP. What have I done wrong? And what is it that I'm not understanding about this tech? Also, is BitTorrent the best software/client/whatever for a newbie? Once the the download was complete, I clicked to activate the file. The file extension was 'avi', which I understand is the usual extension for torret files. So I downloaded and installed BitTorrent and then proceeded to download a file from one of the major torrent sites - don't remember the name of the site, but the file featured Stephen Colbert's presentation at the recent White House correspondents dinner. I've looked up the term and learned that i) torrent is a technology that enables the downloading of large files and ii) there are a large number of torrent clients (that the right term?), among which are BitTorrent, BitComet, and uTorrent.
From time to time, someone adds a link in their post to a site that offers 'torrent' downloads.
