Mac Torrent Questions

Ok so first of all, I just recently got a mac and downloaded BitTorrent on it. I got some torrents off google or whatever (just searched what i wanted and then downloaded them) and got them into BitTorrent. For some strange reason, FCE and photoshop, which were at around 40% in BitTorrent, did something wierd and said they couldn't be completed or whatever. Can somebody tell me what's wrong? Or give me another method of doing torrents. Thanks

depending. so many people these days just leech and leech and leech and never fucking seed. it took me over a month to download the matrix trilogy in 720p because the seeders never hit over 50 kbps. so then i seeded it for a month at 60 kbps (like a good pirate does).

find the torrent with the most seeders. the more seeders, the faster the download will be. sometimes the best isn't good enough though, case in point the 720p matrix trilogy i downloaded.

torrents most definitely do not suck. I've hit 1 mb/s before. a few minutes for a 320kbps album is not a long time. (all legal music, mind you..)

yeah i use it and it works really well.

instead of making a new thread, i thought i'd bump this one. my reason is that i was wondering if anyone could find me a torrent for final cut studio, or help me run it. i've tried a few already, but when i try to open the .dmg files, it says "the following disk image failed to mount." I'm on a mac, and help would be greatly appreciated

Dude download uTorrent as a torrent downloader and then download ur torrents right off something like The pirate Bay or Demonoid and your set. make sure u seed or im gonna personally come to ur house and eat all your food. It so simple.
