Two steps to using a torrent:
1.) Get said torrent.
2.) Get a client
OPTIONAL:
3.) Open torrent.
4) WHY IS IT SO SLOW?!
5) Google for WHY IS IT SO SLOW?!
6) Go to router login
7) Oops, forgot router admin password
8) Call linksys support
9) Map ports
10) Oops, client changed ips in the dhcp table
11) Remap it
12) Oh, now it's going faster. 3 days later.

Seriously
13) Trillian devs "PROFIT!!!"

at least, imho

I think both of the above are true.
