Problems with .torrent files!

Okay, so I bought a copy of borland delphi off of an auction website but the link it gave me sent me to a .torrent file. It said it trastically helps reduce the file size, which I'm not going to argue.

Anyway, I downloaded Azureus but everytime I try to connect through the 6881 port it gives me an error. I opened it on my router and even opened a huge range for it.

Since that port won't open it tells me that there is always a fatal error everytime I try to download the .torrent file. Is there someone out there who could unzip/download the file for me?

I've been several weeks without the program I paid for!

Oh, that sounds legal.

Last time I checked, .torrents increased file size with overhead, when compared to downloading the original file by itself.

I'd try using a different client, regular bittorrent works fine for me.

Not legally.

Shoulda reported the guy to Ebay, but it's probably too late now.

Report it to ebay and email the seller. You have to wait like 30 days anyway or something. Im sure its not legal for them to be selling torrents anyway.

As I know of, there are no legal torrents besides Linux iso's. I might be mistaken though.

Torrents are used legally more than you think. For example, OCRemix uses torrents to distribute their songs in order to save their bandwidth.
