Hi,

Does anyone know of any decent bittorrent websites that actually work?

They all seem to take ages, or not work at all!!

It used to zoom, zoom, there's your file!

Bearing in mind how the tech works, if you're after something not very popular, there won't be that many folk hosting it so it will take longer.

Thanks people... I run sygate. Whats the setting I should have off or on to ensure firegate is allowing bittorrent?

Find the port your client is using, then allow access via your firewall software to that port.

Ports 6881 to 6899 need to be accessible from outside. In the Port Forwarding section of your firewall config usually.
