Title: Does anyone know how to download torrents from freetextbooks.com?
Post by: MKh on March 22, 2012, 03:05:17 pm
Hello there!

I have found the book that I was looking for on freetextbook.com but the torrents software on my pc is very new to me. Does anyone know how to download torrents?

Instead of me wasting time trying to download the torrent, can anyone who knows how it all works download the SNAB A2 Biology book from here: http://freeetextbooks.com/torrents-details.php?id=6748 and send it to me as an attachment to an email?

Thanks.

Download and install utorrent (google it)
Download the .torrent of the book you want
Double click the file, and a dialogue will appear, choose where you want to save your file.
Wait till download is complete.
If the download is slow or doesn't start, go to the page of the book, and click on request reseed.

Also torrent downloads are not like the regular downloads.
Google peer to peer file sharing, or read wikipedia article about it to know more.

Thanks a lot for the info. Can you please download the Edexcel A2 Biology SNAB book from the link that I have given and send it to me as an attachment to an email, if it's not much of a hassle for you. If it's not possible, thanks anyway.

A problem - the file does not download. It remains "downloaded 0.0%" even after an hour! What to do? I deleted the torrent file and re-tried but so far it does not download. I did this about 10 times. Anyways, I will try again. But if any of you have a solution to this problem, do sugget what I can do.

I have taken screenshots to explain how I download the book so that any of you can explain to me where I went wrong.
Document with screenshots attached. Please do check it and inform me of the likely solution to this problem. Thanks.

If you guys still don't understand what the solution to this prob is, can you please download the Torrent file itself and check if it's downloading. If it is downloading send me the torrent file as an attachment. Is this possible?

I have also requested a re-seed but the prob still persists - it's still not downloading. I have got the utorrent software in my pc already.

If your internet speed is fast enough it will download normally.

Ask him to seed it.
Nothing wrong with the connection or the torrent file, but there are no seeders.

He will upload it on mediafire. I will then download it and then seed it.
