i use deluge for DIME and bittorrent for others…i like torrents because if the seeds are OK it’s faster than regular downloads…
Hi Pete, Thanks very much for the advice – I have failed to use bittorrents before and, in the case of the Sam Rivers, have received a file ending in .zip.torrent which I do not know how to process. Can you refer me please (to save time) to which application is likely to be best to process this file? Kind Regards, MonkSphere
the short answer: you need to download a bittorrent client that will handle the download for you. the .torrent file contains the details that the bittorrent client will use to download the actual file (in this case, a .zip file).
there are a lot of bt clients out there. i use vuze (formerly azureus) myself, but it is a bit of a memory hog.
