There are a lot of guides around the net here are two popular ones

http://thepiratebay.org/help

http://torrentfreak.com/how-to-use-bittorrent/

torrentfreak has a lot of other how-to.

as for internet connection just set the maximum download speed to 75% of your connection speed or less if you have slow connection

There's some excellent guides located at Slyck which are worthy of reading.

Lastly, in the case of Newsgroups which is one I am most familiar with, there's the obvious one on Slyck and one that I wrote myself. This can be found in the Newsgroups section among other guides, but specifically here.

You probably lost connection because you had your global connections set too high. Try setting them at 200 or less (usually 250 is about right but try lower for now.) You can usually find this setting in the preferences of any client under "Bittorrent" or "Connection".

If you have a decently fast computer I would personally suggest you use Azureus. Otherwise utorrent is better.

Remeber to look at the guides others have suggested for port fowarding, it's an important concept. :rolleyes:
