That's the problem! Without opening the required port(s), you can't even dream of downloading via. bittorrent. Google for 'Port forwarding' to get detailed info
Try Azureus. it has a wizard mode to install and it is simple to use for someone new to BT. http://azureus.sourceforge.net/download.php Also, don't forget to get the Java Runtime. It is on the same page that you download Azureus. When you install, it will give you a forward port. Just click OK since it is already at a good value. Also, when downloading torrents, get torrents that have some seeds or at least a lot of leechers... If you get a torrent that no one is sharing, then you will not be able to download the files you want. Remember to set a limit on your upload speed. Take your upload connection and divide by 12. For instance, I have a 1500/384 connection. This means my MAX upload is 384 kilo[bold]bits[/bold] per second. Now, when I divide by 12, I get 32 kilo[bold]bytes[/bold] per second. This is an effecient upload speed and will not slow down my downloads. When you are seeding, meaning, you are only uploading, you might as well set it to unlimited. There are special rules you can use for seeding.
