Re: [GSAS-Member] Paul's talk online

Hi Dave,

The .torrent file is just a small file with the instructions on how to 
download/share the actual file (which is huge -- 500 megabytes this time). 
You need to have a program to run the torrent, such as utorrent if you're 
using PCs (www.utorrent.com), or transmission for Macs 
(http://www.transmissionbt.com/).

Once you have installed the appropriate program, when you click on the 
torrent, it should open in utorrent, and will prompt you where to put the 
file, etc.  You need to leave your computer on a looong time.

You can opt to ignore that bit Matt said if it's confusing to you -- I 
keep at one seed open that is accessible from behind routers.
