I am grateful for the responses from you all:
When I read the words BitTorrent I automatically associated it with another website that is *not* uTorrent. There is a URL literally called
http://www.bittorrent.com, as I recall, and it was from there that I downloaded the application that took over my laptop last summer. That is still a mystery to me. (Earowo do not be worried about bittorrent tech as I have had no trouble with thepiratebay or uTorrent and that is two out of three that did no harm)...
That aside I did discover and download *uTorrent last night and I have no trouble with that. I used uTorrent to download the PlaneShift 0.5 app and I am still having trouble actually making it work. I am not sure why. Once again you all have my thanks and I hope to be back with PlaneShift as soon as possible. It will be a while yet as I have many more obligations and interests to attend to this year as opposed to last. PlaneShift is a novel creation.
