i was just wondering, whenever i try and download stuff on that 'bittorrent' thing it takes aaages like at the moment it says 14 hours remaining...does it do that for everyone or is my computer just slow?
It can take a long time to download, but it all depends on various different things.
What type of connection you have
How many people are seeding the download
How large the download is
And then of course there's "the sensor." This is the hidden electronic unit on all electronic devices installed to frustrate the user. On a copier it is the device that senses the urgency/panic level of the user and causes the machine to jam appropriately.
With torrents, your computer senses how much you really want to listen/view the download, and adjusts the time accordingly. I have managed to outsmart the PC by downloading many torrents and then never listening to them. They all come in pretty quickly now that the PC senses my indifference. ;)
Patience, my friend. Patience.
I think I've been downloading Q+PR in New Jersey for 2+ days now. On Dime where you generally have more seeders, I got Q+PR in Yokohamoa about a day and have been seeding ever since
Cheers!

Whether or not anyone actually shot the video/recorded the audio . . .
