BitTorrents, Mininova and Bittornado - Please Help!

[Fiddlemesticks]

Ok, i am beginning to feel very old as i cant get this damn Bit Torrent technology to work and would really love someone to tell me how to solve this.

Basically i have downloaded Bit Tornado. I go on to Mini Nova. Find file i want to download (as i already have the original and just want a back up your honour.. ;-)). download file to folder. And then nothing.

So how the hell do i download from Mini Nova and get the damn thing to work?

Please help as i'm tearing what little hair i have left out! Thank yo in advance.
