i just joined mactorrentskickass, and i can't get their torrents to work. Is there anything special i need to do before they will work. I have opened them with both the original bit torrent and azureus, and neither seems to work. Thanks for any help
Got a tip for us?

you need to enable that port in your firewall (assuming it is on). go to sys. pref. > sharing > firewall, and add a new port (name it Torrents or something) and designate it as the necessary port (i think azureus uses 6112). that's it.
It's a range of ports (the range is in the readme that comes with the official BitTorrent client). If you are behind a router then it also works a lot better if you forward the ports from the router to the machine you are running BitTorrent on.
