Cannot load any of the torrent sites

BitComet BitComet General Discussion

Hello,

I am a complete newby to all of this. Have just downloaded Bit Comet and have tried to access a number of torrent sites but receive the following message. (It obviously changes slightly, depending on the name of the site.)

Should I be able to use Bit Comet as soon as I download it, or do I need to set it up somehow?

Please respond as though you are talking to a complete dimwit :slight_smile:

Thank you for any help.

A fair number of the listed sites no longer exist (or the url has been changed). In addition, some tites are blocked by ISPs (usually following a court order) and you need a preoxy server to bypass that. Ateh ‘anonymox’ add-on for Firestorm works great for accessing http://extratorrent.cc/category/.

Search that (browse torents on the top left) and then download and run the .torrent file. BC will kick in and take over from there
