Hello David; OK, I know this may sound really obvious, but;

You ARE on a broadband connection, aren't you?

When the downloading show is taking a day, are you downloading only one show at a time? Do you have any other shows (completed) that are uploading at the same time?

Your torrent client (program) should show the download speed (in kB/sec), and the number of seeds and peers for the show. The thread in the forum also shows who is seeding, who is leeching, and how many have the complete show.
If there's only one person seeding the show (uploading), and a small number of peers like you (downloading) it'll take a while. They go faster when more folks join in, and when more people have the complete show.

The size of the torrent will have an effect too; I recently uploaded a Jack Bruce torrent with 6 CDs' worth of music - that's gonna take longer than, shall we say, the Kinky Friedman session - which only had about 6 tunes!

Hope this helps.... which shows are we talking about?

Regards, Graham
