    Actually, on thing like AreS and bittorrents, my dialup connection at my mothers, goes from a normal 4KB/sec. to around 15KB/sec.. lol I know it doesn't seem like much, but that's a huge improvement on dialup, so it should work good with a lower cable/dsl connection speed. Also depends on how many Seeds.

    the only bad thing about torrents is that most things on torrent sites are pirated. i was just on a torrent site and those people have no respect for copyrights

    This is true, like 70% of the internet is pirated nowadays though, and I don't see anything going on about it really...

    Maybe the site isn't updated much, or isn't on auto-update? Either that, or you're not connecting correctly to them..

    I've used uTorrent as well, but I like Bit Torrent Thunder best of all.

    Is there a green check mark on the bottom? I used to have a yellow mark because my firewall was blocking the port.

    Choose your router, then choose the program you want to have you ports forwarded on, then just follow the guide.

    Yes it's safe, hackers don't enter your computer by trying to connect through random ports and hoping one connects. If a hacker wants to get into your computer, he will.
