Sounds like you need to do some port forwarding.
With torrents you install a torrent client such as Azureus, Bittorent, Bit Commet, etc. Then you go to a torrent site such as http://thepiratebay.org/ or http://www.mininova.org/ and download a torrent. Then you just opent the torrent in the client and it dowloads.

The rset can be a toatl mses and you can sitll raed it wouthit a porbelm. Tihs is bcuseae we do not raed ervey lteter by ilstef, but the wrod as a wlohe.

It says that there are seeds and such (people connected?) but nothing is actually downloading..does it take a while for people to connect or whatever sometimes? Im totally new to this torrent thing (as you prob already figured out) haha but thanks a ton Lazy, it seems pretty easy so far..

do you have a router? if so, did you set it up or somebody else? would you have the password for it? (the site is probably 192.168.1.1 if you have one)... you probably need to forward ports on it...

The rset can be a toatl mses and you can sitll raed it wouthit a porbelm. Tihs is bcuseae we do not raed ervey lteter by ilstef, but the wrod as a wlohe.
