all right, i think i'm a total moron, but i need help getting started with flac files.
i downloaded bittorrent, and then went over to http://www.youkanfakoff.com to grab some pj flac files. i downloaded one show from that website, and then opened it in bittorrent. the program is processing the file, but it's taking for-fucking-ever. it's been going for 20 minutes, is 0.4% complete, and i have 1 day and 19hours remaining until it's done.
basically, what the hell am i doing wrong?

if you get more seeds than leechers its even faster - BUt as these are small websites it wont go above more than 100 ever i doubt
if you forward ports and configure stuff, even faster.
BitLord has a port feature that is basically there to do your port forwarding for you (it's the one I use).
Azerus and uh, one sec....uTorrent...yeah, that's it, I have tried and found them both to be mega-resource hogs.
And Brisk has a good point about seeders/leechers. Small websites don't often have the best fan support. I personally go for the membership sites that require upload/download ratios of a certain % for you to use, so I set my upload speed to almost nothing until whatever I'm downloading downloads, then crank it and let it upload to whomever when I'm not using my pc.
