Re: how do i help (20th century techno-idiot here)

- Get AVG for anti-virus. It's free and I've heard it's much better than Norton
- If you have a router, use it's firewall, but open up a port for just your bittorrent client (find out how at portforward.com )
- Turn on bittorrent when you are on your computer and upload to a show you have completed. You can set your upload rate to much less than the maximum to allow you to easily browse the internet at the same time
- Vine some shows you have downloaded (looking up Vines in the FAQ - and see the forum)
- Offer some B&Ps of shows you have downloaded (look up B&P in the FAQ - and see the forum)
- Once you have this all figured out, help the newbies in this forum when they ask a question like you did
- And, as Wolf said, we welcome your donations to help with montly server costs

Enjoy the site!
