    Thanks, I will (when I get it to work...)

      I am using a product called TorrentFlux - web interface on a headless Linux machine..
      Ta Kev, I'll try that too..

        Are you downloading films?

        What's worth torrenting for?

            I get most of my TV via utorrent these days. UKNova is a good source.

                Seconded. It's a good idea to use something like PeerGuardian 2 anyway.

                  I downloaded Ubuntu a week or so ago from the official website, it didn't take long to download as I recall. Took me a few days before I could beat its Connect-four and Sudoku games, and now don't use Ubuntu anymore (no drivers to get Internet connected).

                  By ISO do you mean disk images, if so of what kind? If software, I always stayed clear of them for fear of trojens etc. Films could be handy, though last time I torrented I gave up because it was too slow.

                    Really??

                    It must be a fluke that I can get on the net with Ubuntu then...

                      Depends on your hardware, some is software independent
