...but I feel I'm kinda silly to ask it now, after all this time. I've got a few questions about the BITTorrent thing. The truth is I never downloaded anything so far, because I had no PC of mine until last week and no Internet connection until today (used to go regularly to an I-cafe). Please forgive me if the same questions have been asked before!!!
So:
1. How long do I have to keep my window open after downloading anything? I could keep it open for a few hours, but not very much longer, because I'm not at home for a big deal of time and I have to turn off my PC everyday.
2. As I have only a 128 kbps connection, does anyone have any idea how long it'd take to download a Queen concert like Hyde Park'76 or Hammy'75?
I use Bit Torrent once in a while. Most of the files that Bit Torrent shares are big files like TV episodes, movies, games, videos, and when it comes to music you don't really find individual songs like on Kazaa but complete albums instead.
So even if you have a high speed connection, you might have no choice but to let those files download for quite a lot of hours (perhaps days). I for once spent 36 hours downloading the Earls Court 77' video because it was 1.2 GB.

That's good to know. I'll do my best to keep it open as long as I can... After all, I'll download things when I know I'm able to stay at home for a longer time.

Two concerts with excellent quality, no BitTorrent needed and in mp3 format, what means that the downloads will be finished much faster.

WOW! THANKS, HeM! You're an angel... I just began downloading the files, listened to Procession and it's sooo cool! I begin to understand why the Japanese are so much in love with Queen :)
