I'm trying to download Bit Torrent, i am using Firefox, but it just won't work!!! When i press, 'Free Download' is asks what Firefox should do with this application, and I click 'Save File' and it says downloading is complete, but i don't see it on my computer? Besides something that says 12Sky2_Aeria_dna in my Manual Downloads folder, that has the Bit Torrent logo, what should i do?
 
That would be your download in that folder.. You may want to try uTorrent instead, personally i prefer it.
 
Google "Utorrent" and download it.
I use it. It's so great.
 
I remember that it had some problem few months back with me as well. Use utorrent instead. It's a better client anyway. Less heavy and more consistent.
 
OK there's no need to use another browser. Tons of people use Firefox and download torrents no problem.

Firefox downloaded the torrent file, but that's basically just a text file with a location in it. That file needs to be loaded into a torrent application. If you have a "Bit Torrent logo" you probably have one installed, just try double-clicking it and seeing if it opens in your torrent program. If not, download and install µTorrent and open the torrent file in that. It should open a dialog box asking where you want to save the actual file the torrent file is pointing to.

u need to download a bit torren client, type it in in google theres a bunch of free ones then u take the download and put it into the client and it will give u the file. i hope i helped
 
You need a BitTorrent client, such as uTorrent or Azureus. Download those softwares and then run the .torrent file in that program, it will take a lot of time to download from there.
 
I would suggest using the program uTorrent. It is much smaller and through my experience faster than bit torrent. It has worked perfect for me for 4-5 years. Here is a link to the download site if you are interested

Check where your files are being downloaded too in your properties. I usually set it for desktop for ease. It definitely works. Try downloading it again.
 
utorrent is better than bittorrent,coz its lite just 300kb.download it from http://www.utorrent.com/downloads.better use google chrome or ie.
