You need to download a BitTorrent client first and use it to open the PS BitTorrent file. Once open it will start downloading the ps client.

You can get BitTorrent here: http://www.bittorrent.com/download

BitTorrent shares files through seeders. The more seeders there are, the faster the files are shared. Likewise, speed may slow if seeders log off. That's why we encourage players to keep BitTorrent running after they download the game so they can seed for others.

I'd recommend a different Bit Torrent client, specifically, Azureus (http://azureus.sourceforge.net/). Good luck!

If you still have trouble with bittorrent, the mac release is up on the Swedish mirror at stacken.kth.se, check the download page.

You can also try the lighter and smaller [url"http://sarwat.net/bittorrent/]Tomato Torrent[/url]. Tomato Torrent seems to do what I want it to do quickly. I also like Azureus, but I find that I can't do diddly-jack-squat when Azureus Vuze is running on my Machine. Its probally the lack of 2GB of RAM which I have been trying to get for my machine, but if anyone has these problems like I have had with Azureus, then Tomato Torrent is atleast an alternative.
