Hey hey - come on guys - don’t insult…I’m trying my best will zero experience. Being told that I would work it out if I want it bad enough or that I remind them of someone’s mother isn’t nice.

Yesterday I spent a few hours just trying to get the free rapid download thing - I couldn’t work out how to get it from the dropbox account to my laptop and in the end tried to find it online and was met with a barrage of Norton warnings about threats prevented and being directed to german websites with green “download” buttons that were going to make me download “other software” I didn’t want.

It’s been quite stressful this end - and I’m scared of getting a virus on the laptop or doing something to my computer I can’t undo.

I wouldn’t worry too much about viruses back when I actually used windows, antivirus software will flare bogus warnings sometimes, your probably better of going the torrent route, transmission qt is probably the simplest one to use.
