use torrents as they create problems as you described as well as load the comps with malware and other bad things.

The only time I might use a torrent is if I'm downloading a Linux Distro , but that was a very rare instance..

It's a trash of an app. Because I'm nice I'll tell you a title to try next.

It's what I use to avoid utorrent turn to the dark side and get my Linux ISOs fast.

It did not work also, no "Internet connection " is written when I try while I have good connection.

I'll disagree.

Many colleges, hot spots and more block torrents. Some security suites too.

So I disagree your connection is good enough.
