Open office downloads fast from their site.

That'* where I did it form, but it said I need a torrent since it is a torrent file.

Sounds like you clicked on the wrong link. I know there is a direct download link because I just used it this morning

Yep. You must have downloaded from the botton link (Download via P2P) instead of the big green bar at the top

Well I was trying the free version of limewire.....and couldn't get one song to d/l.....Dug around a bit and found a site with the Limewire Turbo program ( the one they want you to buy) and it'* been working great.

Also d/l'd fast torrent last night, but have no clue how to use it lol

Newsgroups are the way to go. Super fast compared to torrents etc. I use a program called Newsbin pro and it works like magic.

I soo didn't realize that was a link. i thought it was just like a banner thing on the top telling you what that page was for.

I found that my ISP "throttles" subscribers who use limewire so,I switched to ARES. It handles everything that is needed to get it up and running,even the firewalls on routers I swear by it

Hrmmm, I wonder if Charter does that crap...

My ISP eventually throttles everything but newsgroups which is the reason I use them. Being called newgroups throws people off since people use it mostly to swap music and files lol
