>>>I need to download and install a torrent software; I never done this before. Are there much difference between different programs? Which one would you recommend from the stand-point of ease of use and speed?

>>I use uTorrent (aka microtorrent), about once or twice a year, almost forgot about it. It's as simple as it gets. Beware when you install, you need to opt out of some browser toolbar or some such parasiteware that it offers to install. It will react on doubleclick on a .torrent file, and possibly also when it's attached to an email.

>The amazing thing is that it took about 2 seconds to install it (unless I think it is installed but it is not). But I do see now the window that has in the caption uTorrent 3.1.3 and nothing else. So now I will need to figure how to use this thingie.

I got 2.2.1 and when I checked for updates, it said "none".

I guess if you get a .torrent file, double-click it and let uTorrent do its thing. But you should at least change the default download folder - in every piece of code out there, the save folder is somewhere where I can't find it later. Amazing. Some do it under something of their own under my documents, some do it under local settings, application data, or one of those specialized folders "my this" or "my that"... a general labyrinth. So I prefer to put them into two or three folders of my own, when I care to.
