I thought torrenting would be a little easier than navigating the Federal Tax Code....apparently not.
On Sombeech's advice I started my Torrent journey at Torrent-finder.info. What followed was a labyrinth of torrent finders, torrent hosts, and torrents themselves. I feel like the Joseph Smith of Torrents wondering which Torrent finder/Torrent host/Torrent was the true Torrent finder/Torrent host/Torrent.
On Shane's advice I downloaded Vuze, on NelsonCCC's advice I downloaded Utorrent.
None of them work, and all of them spit out pop-up ads/redirects to other Torrent hosts.
For hells sakes, what gives?
Let's assume for the time being that I'm using Vuze, and I'm trying to download Breaking Bad S05E02 from Torrent.info.
1. I open Vuze.
2. I open Torrent-Finder.info, navigate to my desired episode.
3. BEFORE I get redirected to another torrent hosting site, I quickly click STOP, which freezes my browser.
4. I then click the desired episode, hold down the left mouse button, and drag that episode into my open Vuze window. (see attached jpeg)
5. I immediately get the following error message:
"Open Torrent Failed. Could not open 'http://kat.ph/breaking-bad-s05e02-madrig-hdtv-X264-fqm-ettv-t6526338.html'. It doesn't appear to be a .torrent file."
6. I then repeat this process over and over, using different sites, different torrents, and different hosts....all with the same results.
WTF?! Someone shed some knowledge on this seemingly simple process.
Thanks mucho.
