The only way I could get bittorrent to work was find Java client (asus) and run it at work on a xp box. It took a long time to start but finished up and I have let it keep running for day's. Last I looked I had 70+ people connected and up loading. I throttle it down during the day and open it up night's and weekends. Roly
