Re: [newbie] torrents
Good advice, but my budget is terribly limited. I want so many things for my vegetable garden that no matter how much I want the linux system up and running, I must get what I can fo free. I am still dlding move. I am almost half way there. Besides this dld has taught me several things to speed up dlding. I eliminate all unnecessary processes in my task manager and dld much smoother at a about a twenty percent increase in speed.

Re: [newbie] torrents
I did find and dld Azureus. I also had to dld Java. That took an hour. I will try it out soon. I previously found Internet Download Manager which also Has good resume ability. It lets you edit the file types it will handle. I added iso and img suffixes to the list and it is working. The dld scheduler works great. A neat feature to set dld times for the most convenient time of day.
