Mainly got into this because I wanted to try out the new isle of man tt sim. went to www.yasdl.com and found it. Installed all of the parts but however I attempt to open them (winrar, then extracting the files (winrar, then using ultraiso, then using the setup.exe within, it always says that it isnt a Freearc archive/it’s corrupt) am I missing something major? I don’t really understand how to use torrents either. Apologies
ok, thank you so much :) And yep, I downloaded qbittorrent, just trying to work my way around the ui. I pressed file, navigated to the one downloaded but it just says stalled.
After you have a torrent client, like qBittorrent, you should be able to click on
"magnet links"on torrent sites, and then the web browser will automatically ask if you want to open the magnet link with qBittorrent.For me the same thing happens, except I’m using one called
Transmission.Anyway, after that you might have to choose to which directory/folder it gets downloaded if it’s your first time.
Then it will start downloading. Of course how fast it’s downloading depends on the number of
Seeders andLeechers.Seeders are people with the files who are allowing others to download it from them, if there’s no seeders then you won’t be downloading anything.
ok, thanks for the insight. I’m guessing I’ll need a paid vpn? Proton failed on me mid upload so now I wait in fear of the letter.
You can bind qB to your VPN connection, so that if the VPN fails qB would not attempt to use your unsecured line.
(Sorry not in front of a PC right now. Don’t remember the exact settings page, but it’s a dropdown with a list of available connections on your computer)
I’ll take a look. I’m guessing there are no free p2p vpns? Don’t want to rush out and get a prepaid visa until I’m fully comfortable with everything. Would mainly be for games, and without access to steam achievements, I’m still on the fence about all of this.
Free VPNs are not real, but legit VPNs are cheap (~$5/month)
