dowloading

alright, i'll admit it, i'm technologically incompetent. i have a mac, and it came with (or my dad installed), limewire, and i've been dl-ing off that, but i find it annoying, can't get whole albums, and you can only get one song here or there. so i downloaded azeurus, and then went to download some torents, but i think the torents are supposed to pop up in the azeurus box, and they don't, and i can't download anything off of that. what am i doing wrong? i'd ask a friend, but i've asked them for so many computer things, and they already think i'm an idiot in that arena. so if someone could explain it to me REALLY slowly, that'd be great, thanks

I'm Mac illiterate, but Azureus doesn't work on my windows machine either. I use BitComet now. It doesn't have all the cool features Azureus does though

but bit torrent is good as well but most good torrent sites are invite only. mininova.org is a good free one.

but I dont have much advise for mac configuration sowwie

torrentspy.com and torrentreactor.net are good aswell.

If I'm looking for a specific album I'll usually just google ""Xavier Naidoo" +"Seeing is Believing" +torrent" or ""Artist Name" +"Album Name" +torrent"

Don't think they have a ported version for Macs tho...

There are a few torrent clients for Mac out there. That's the best way to get full album IMHO.

Does Limewire still work? I tried using it the other day and got no results whatsoever.

Use port 55771 to start on a TCP and 55456 for the UDP. The computer will do the rest as long as it's in the Internet Gateway. For troubleshooting if the above doesn't work go to 'Run' in the Start Menu and type command, press enter and type ipconfig/all and make sure that the IP Address, Subnet Mask, and Internet Gateway are the same as they are set in the Internet Gateway area of the Internet Connections setting in the control panel.


**NOTE - the instructions assume that you have a static IP, if you do not you must set one up in order for any of the above to work.

It's a resource hog...

I'm assuming that your computer uses DDR2 SDRAM, so how much does it have? And, what processor is your comp running, and did you overclock it?
