There was nothing wrong with Torrent. The problem was mainly with the user (me).
I think I finally have a handle on using Torrent. Getting .torrent files was the main issue.
Once I found [link removed]
I can get most any torrent file I want. Definitely Firefox is easier to use than IE.
Anyway thanks for all the help.

TBH guys, I have used u Torrent for about five years with no problems.
I have updated to 3.1 and the whole thing is now so difficult,for me, to operate.
The show of torrents d/L and seeding keeps disappearing if I click on stuff available in the sidebar.
Check the "Active" bit on the sidebar and see if it registers anything ie "1". If it does then click it and it should make the torrents progress appear..

The only torrent I download is Linux, yet I have no idea how to use it
