Go here and download BitTornado

http://bittornado.com/

Install the "bittorrent client (BitTornado)"

REBOOT the computer

Go to box torrent and "right click and save as" on the .torrent file it should take a few seconds to download.

Next go to the place where you saved the torrent file.

Double click on the .torrent file. A window will pop up and ask where you want to download the file to, Choose a folder and hit ok.

Now adjust your upload rate (kB/s)

If you have 256kb/s set it to dsl/cable slow at 20 kB/s

If you have 128kb/s set it to dialup/isdn around 8 or 10 kB/s

Now wait for your client to connect to the peers(other people downloading).

If you can't connect then you may have a dead torrent or your firewall is blocking bittorrent from connecting. Read up on how to let programs pass thru your firewall and connect to the web.

I can't get clearer than this if your stuck then by all means ask again but use http://google.com first!.
