A Beginner’s Guide To BitTorrent
Adam over at Lifehacker has put together a beginner’s guide to using BitTorrent which is going to save me so much time. I get friends asking about BitTorrent constantly and it can be very time consuming explaining it over and over again.
To make matters worse, it’s not really something you can explain over the phone so I end up having to sit them down to go through it step by step. Now I can just send them to this article and they should be able to work through it by themselves.
If you are the tech goto person amongst your friends and family the best thing you can do to avoid spending hours explaining things to them is to build up a list of resources that you can point them too.

HA! Finally, I could’ve done with this ages ago - my brothers drive me nuts asking about this, what’s worse is they even call me up for their friends and i’m NOT a techie!

But you know how to use a computer so that’s close enough.
I get calls about anything from mobile phones to TV antennas. If I charged these people I’d be rich.

Don’t even get me started on mobile phones - I spent 8 months working in a mobile phone shop as the admin bird - now everyone seems to think I know the inner workings of every phone going..
I think i’m beginning to feel your pain m’love.
