I need a step by step instruction of how to get this torrent download to start, well... downloading. I've found the link that eggman posted and I've even downloaded the utorrent thingy that you need to get it working. But whenever I click on the gloryhoundz link eggman posted the download starts then just dissapears into thin air. I have no clue what to do and I'm a complete noob when it comes to downloading files and stuff so some simple help or directions would really be a godsend.

Copy link location in full
Click the globe+ icon is Utorrent
Paste
OK

(kinda baffled me for a moment there too)

if this is a quadruple post, then forgive my Utorrent.

If you haven't delt with torrents, its slightly different then normal downloads.

The torrent file that you first download is very small, so whats most likely happening is you have your browser set to close the download window after opening...

first you have to download that small torrent file, this file basically just shows the torrent program you have where to download from. once you open the torrent file with whatever program you use you will be prompted to choose a location to save the file you are actually trying to download.

I just wish that I could pick up any seeders or peers at all. My torrent stopped at 69% about 5 hours ago and it hasnt been able to start up again since. Ive tried it at a completely different house, with a different ISP, and it did the same thing. Restarting the client didnt help, and even trying to restart the torrent did no good. Ive even tried different torrent clients. If I didnt know better, I would think that no one was actually seeding, but I know that there are others that are downloading right now. It sucks....

i've got 59 seeds of 99 and 60 peers out of 119 right now. does your ISP block torrents?

try changing ports and opening the new port on yer firewall.

and 12 mins to go. YEAH!

Also If you want decent speeds you should set up the NAT ports in your firewall and torrent client. When In doubt google/wiki it.
