After download....

It has been asked for several times now, but still no answer. What to do after a succesvol download? In my case ive succesfully downloaded a game for PC but how do I get it running? Dubble clicking for example wont get me there. Can anyone please answer this instead of asking another sort of question.

YOUR SPEED ANSWERS!!!

What happens is everything should be set for unlimited by default. What happens is you really can't do anything about it. If a upload states it has 25 seeds - you may only get 5 IP to IP connections. THEN on top of that - they might be running at half the upload speed. Like my last upload had 25 seeds, but only 5 of them were sharing and they were running at about 5kb's. The best way to solve this is get a download that has like 50 or so seeds with a bunch of peers! The more seeds - the more places utorrent has to pull the file from thus speeding up the process. Also, you can go to options and click Speed Guide then inside the window click connection type then set it to whatever... I hope that helps out!! It helped me out and I just started today! I downloaded Office 07 before a move did becuase of the amount of seeds and I started the movied about 15min before I started Office - office being 800Mb larger also! It makes a HUGE DIFFERENCE!!

GOOD LUCK!!!

Now, that I downloaded a bunch of stuff - I just need to know how to get it off of utorrent!!!

Hey-- it's "Veni, Vedi, Vici." In that order. Unless you're trying to be clever and change it around, in which case, you're saying "I conquered, I came, I saw." Yeah, doesn't make sense.
