I do not currently have any way of downloading the video from the Journey show from last week, and it appears to me that I need to use some bit torrent software to download it?
Yessir. I use uTorrent. You can get it at
www.utorrent.com, and it's free. Other people use a program called Bittorrent, but I'm not familiar with that one.
After uTorrent is installed, then navigate to the post with the link to the show and it will take you to a page where you'll click on a link that says "Download this torrent!" When that link is clicked, depending on what web browser you're using, you'll get the option to Open with uTorrent, or Save to Disk. You'll want to select to open with uTorrent. uTorrent will open a window asking where you want to save it and give you some specs on it and you click Ok, and the download will begin. It's a lot easier than people make it out to be.
I hope this helps.
