I'm willing to admit that I know absolutely nothing about torrenting, which is probably why it won't work for me. I downloaded and installed an app called Transmission. I downloaded a .torrent file. I tried to open the file in Transmission but it remains at 0%. I've tried several files but none of them work. What am I doing wrong?
View 23 RepliesI just downloaded a video game off f the internet, and its a torrent file, which I need to be made into a .iso file. I know I can use imgburn through parallels, but I have no Windows OS disc for parallels to work. Does anybody know if there is a way that I can get this torrent file( which is essentially a lot of little files) converted into a .iso file so I can burn it and play it?
View 1 Replies View RelatedTomato Torrent, BitTorrent AND Transmission are not downloading torrents. I've tried them all on many different files and not one single torrent file is working on any of the programs.
Tomato says:
"Last Error: Tracker announce still not complete 180 seconds after starting it, (at Mon Sep 14 '09 @ 10:12:24 PM)"
OR
"Last Error: Problem connecting to tracker - <urlopen error (60, 'Operation timed out')>, (at Mon Sep 14 '09 @ 10:13:09 PM)"
There seems to be a problem with connecting to tracker, however I have been using Tomato for months and it has worked perfectly in the past.

View 2 Replies View RelatedI have the Transmission bit torrent downloader and it works great, but lately, if I try to download a larger file like a blue-ray movie or something a few GB or bigger, there is an error that the file is too large and it won't download. I hit "resume transfer" and it downloads for a few more MB at a time.
Has anybody else had problems with Transmission? Is there a way to fix this, or will I just need to download a different bittorrent?
(this is my first post, so i apologize if it's in the wrong forum)
NOTE TO MODS: I am NOT asking about downloading anything illegal. In fact, don't even post names of programs, I just want to talk about the technology.
OK, So I keep hearing my pC using friends talk about bit torrents. They make it seem like a advanced version of Peer to Peer. Is that about right? You download pieces of a program from other users and others download them from you?
How does it actually work? The only thing similar to this that I have used was KAZAA about 3 years ago. You used a program and then typed in a song or whatever and then clicked on it to download. But, from what I get, there are multiple 'torrent' clients. So how do you find something to download? You log onto some kind of a server? Does everyone who uses a bit torrent a member of some huge Kazaa like network?

I have never tried downloading using a torrent app but I think I want to try one. I looked at one (can't remember the name) last year but it looked too complicated and had some bad reviews so I dropped that idea. Running Tiger on an intel iMac.
View 2 Replies View RelatedNot that I endorse the use of bittorrents, I was just wondering if there was anyway I could replicate their size using handbrake and get the same quality/size. Every time I try to rip something, I get either the same or lower video quality, yet the size is consistently higher. 30 minute tv shows ( approximately 21 minutes without commercials) are usually 175-185mb 1 hour tv shows (approximately 43 minutes without commericials) are usually 350mb any way to replicate this with Handbrake? Or do I need another ripping solution
View 9 Replies View RelatedI'm using Transmission, and it seems that the speeds that I'm getting are up to 150K DL and 80K UL. From what I've heard around other speed problem posts in various forums, these are pretty decent speeds. Now, pardon if I'm a little naive on this topic, but according to shaw, my max speeds should be around 7.5MG and 512K.
Now downloading I can understand. Not everyone has a super fast connection, and my max download speed is limited by whoever's max upload speed, so 150K sounds alright. I also understand that you never actually reach your max speeds even on the third monday of a March (March is the only month with no stat holidays in Canada) at 4:30 in the morning. But 80K (usually around 30K or 40K) upload speed? Most bargain bin internet connections have at the least a 256K download speed, so my upload speeds should be at least averaging around 100K. What's especially frustrating, is when I look at my completes, and see that there are other peers downloading, yet that torrent only sporadically uploads at all.
Now I've checked, and I do have the latest version (1.5) of Transmission, and yes, my port is open. Is there some way to juice some extra speed out of this, or is this just the way torrents work?

I got my new aluminum macbook today, it is my first mac. on my pc i used utorrent, and i am currently *attempting* to use limewire for torrents on my mac.. the problem is that even though there is a download speed, single digit kb/s, there is no progression.. the torrents are still at 0% . if someone can help me work it through limewire, or suggest a different app to use for torrents.

I know that firefox has foxtorrent, and opera has a bittorrent downloader built-in, but I'm not really interested in switching browsers. I have looked everywhere but to no avail for a plugin that integrates directly into safari that can handle torrents.
View 3 Replies View RelatedI don't know what it is, but I can't get good download speeds using uTorrent or Vuze. My DL max is like 150 when compared on speedtest it should be way higher than this. Are there any settings in Vuze that I can do to make this go faster. Also, my router occasionally crashes when downloading.
