Tutorial: How to Use Utorrent for Mac

[DarkEssence08]

A question. Is there a Boss Key functionality on the Mac version of utorrent? If yes, how can you access it.

[ALECTRICSK8n]

piratebay costs money now!?!

[Haiwhattup]

How do I play the game I downloaded from this?? Someone please answer !

[Ju5TcHiilLbrA]

PROBLEM: everytime i press download this torrent it goes into Utorrent but just sits there and nothing downloads... even if i hit stop and the start again it doesn't move...

[mebenatalieWOO]

@Ju5TcHiilLbrA Me too! Have you figured it out yet? Because I haven't >:c

[Ju5TcHiilLbrA]

@mebenatalieWOO no... i gave up hahaha seems like no one has an answer for me

[mebenatalieWOO]

@Ju5TcHiilLbrA Wait! You're on a Mac right? I figured mine out; I just didn't realize the file once downloaded goes straight to your 'downloads' folder

[ZoyncTV]

do i allow torrent access to my firewall? or deny? when you first download it, because i don't want to allow it unless i know its safe.

[jrjy1023]

how do i play the movie i downloaded?

[oALIENATIONo]

If you want a good screen recorder try Screenium.

[GamKwaka]

for screen recording on macs, just open quicktime player. then go to file - new screen recording

[HIIMCAPSLOCK]

Mine are all stuck to seeding and I can't open them, do you have any idea why?

[Newfie660]

I can get my torrent into utorrent and it starts downloading just fine but then I keep getting a RED ! and it says an ERROR status no matter the torrent I start to download... Can you help me with this... PS I'm using Mac

[mrpaintballfan]

i downloaded a movie and when after the long wait, i could not play the movie. it said "quicktime could not recognize the movie file". help?

[iMidNiteBoss]

I downloaded my file, and I was watching it on quicktime. Then as soon as I stopped seeding, my file disappeared and I cant find it anywhere on my computer. What should I do?

[sidneyfight]

how do you pause a download?

[voice2silk]

hey there - I downloaded from Private Bay and it doesn't go to uTorrent when I download

[remaininginlight]

Nice one man. And yes, Entourage is the shit!

[jackattack45]

@remaininginlight :)

[domifelidomi]

i hae downloaded utorrent and i try'd dwnloadin some files from piratebay, it appeared on the torrent download page but its not downloading at all!!! download speed remains zero!!! can any1 assist me!!

[987ewqsza]

I downloaded assassins creed and its done downloading, but it won't let me open it. It says its seeding. what do i do?

[XxJessmiesterxX]

How come u are able to watch Xvid movies and i cant???

[DrDerpinstien]

If i use this will it eventually fuck my whole computet im running OSX 10.?

[glinesbe12]

Everytime I try to use utorrent it will show the seeders, but once the file is downloaded the seeders drop down to 0 and I can't finish up my file, what am I doing wrong?

[Brok3nCarlos]

I was told that it slows down the Mac alot. is that true? just wondering bcoz I'm getting a MBP i7 late 2011 model very soon and just wondering if it makes a big difference in speed. thanks

[Eiffel84]

How is not seeding (seating?) gay? Do gay people not do that?

[PrincessNoona]

Thanks for the tutorial, it was helpful :)

[qwertyasdf8803]

Can you use proxies as well? How do you do that?

[firedragonfoxfire]

it keeps giving me an error message and VLC is a pc program

[mrmadgoblin]

Fuuuuuukkkk... i downloaded the exact one you have, open it, and bang, shit macbook just shuts down -_-

im running on mac OS X 10.6.6

[MrVersaceJarvie]

EMORY!



[jackattack45]

@MrVersaceJarvie Yeah!

[yorkhammels]

i cant play the movie

[yorkhammels]

can you download games

[niklad1980]

Great tutorial! Normal voice and for Mac (majority are for Windows)! just saved me some time not to explain it to a friend :)

Advice: Consider adding more correct tags to find this video easier.

Next time hide the dock, turn on natural wallpaper, make sure you dont have "Pokemon" ads flashing on the background. Make your tutorials timeless :)

Good work!

[valleystylez1]

I'm still confused. If i download... let"s say Screenflow like you did, then how do i download a specific song from it?

[jackattack45]

@valleystylez1 You can just download the album :D

[joshp111]

@jackattack45 thanx bro u really helped

[ermlolo123]

[JessicaJEMS]

[jackattack45]

@JessicaJEMS Really?

[theefutbolr]

i am downloading Logic Studio for Mac , it says there is only 3% downloaded and it says remaining downloading time is 11 hours. What am i doing wrong? thanks!

[jackattack45]

@theefutbolr Some files just take forever.

[theefutbolr]

disregard that last comment. (sorry) my next question is , How long is the average download for torrents? i am downloading Logic Studio for mac and it says 0% and it says 'remaining' 10 hours...

[fl3tch901]

When i download something it doesnt show up in the uTorrent program, only in Vuze and i don't know how to change it :(

[jackattack45]

@fl3tch901 Uninstall Vuze, install Utorrent and then Utorrent will be default downloader :D

[fl3tch901]

@jackattack45 Ok thank you, but when im downloading The Sims with all the expantions do i need any program to open them? Cause i can't -.-

By the way. Thanks for replying :)

[jackattack45]

@fl3tch901 If it is a zip file then yes. Try Winrar :D

[CrazySmurf01]

@fl3tch901 When you download it, click on "Show in Finder" and then right click, then click "Open with", then click "UTorrent". Problem solved. :)

[BBEBZ]

thanks heaps this is very useful

[TAYLOR8107]

hey man I'm reeeealy wanting morrowind on my mac is there any way i can get it from piratebay?? please help me out! :)

[jackattack45]

@TAYLOR8107 Go check on Pirate Bay (I can't actually get onto the site b/c I am at college, but just look for a good one) :D

[TAYLOR8107]

@jackattack45 when ever you get a sec your should check it out cuz i found one torrent off of mac torrents.com and it downloaded but i can't get it to work.

[TheCockyLemon]

@jackattack45 Would you say that Firefox is better than Safari?

[jackattack45]

@TheCockyLemon I like Google Chrome. :D

[TheCockyLemon]

@jackattack45 But doesn't Google Chrome slow the mac down?

[auag19]

omg I downloaded the spam!! Cause I clicked on the download green box.

Now I have Genioe in my applications :( And can't seem to uninstall it, how do I do that?

[JimBaww]

hey, would you recommend me getting this I'm kinda on edge about doing this as my internet provider strongly told me not to do p2p sharing at the start of the contract. is there any way they can see what I'm doing? thanks i liked and subbed :)

[jackattack45]

@JimBaww Yeah, but I have never seen anyone get in trouble. Your call tho :P

[Bigfatdub564]

thanks for that



[jackattack45]

@Bigfatdub564 No problem!

[pablocohen]

Thank you, very helpful... I didn't know there was such a thing as pirate bay...its downloading already! best!

[jackattack45]

@pablocohen No problem! :D

[LazyLimonada]

You sound attractive

[jackattack45]

@LazyLimonada Thanks? :P

[omegavideos23]

thanks dude



[jackattack45]

@omegavideos23 No probs ;)

[Kayleycooper37]

I downloaded a video and when I hit the magnifying glass it opened with quicktime player and says "The document “Insanity - Fast and Furious.avi” could not be opened. The movie is not in a format that QuickTime Player understands." What did I do wrong?

[jackattack45]

@Kayleycooper37 Try VLC media player (search online and download it). If that doesn't play it, you need to try another torrent.

[leannsfunnyfarm]

Once a video file has been downloaded, how do I get it to play?

[jackattack45]

@leannsfunnyfarm Just hit the little magnifying glass on the utorrent application :D

[BIZZzize]

thank you ur great

[jackattack45]

@BIZZzize No probs man :D

[nick3198]

[jackattack45]

@nick3198 Why what?

[nick3198]

it doesnt download anything

[sled155]

how do u open something u downloaded... pleaz help

[xArThUr818Xx]

how do you know the media you download doesn't have viruses or malware?

[jackattack45]

@xArThUr818Xx By reading the comments. :P

[xArThUr818Xx]

@jackattack45 oh ok lol thx didn't know ppl could comment :)

[xArThUr818Xx]

@jackattack45 btw how come my download speed is really slow its 3.0 kb/s

[jackattack45]

@xArThUr818Xx Depends on the internet connection :P

[jkotis564]

@jackattack45 Hey so I have downloaded some stuff and they are seeding. So I stop them and then how do i open them like a game for instance.

[jackattack45]

@jkotis564 Just hit the magnifying glass in the bar where your file comes up :D

[jkotis564]

@jackattack45 It comes up with the folder and when i open it there is just stuff that comes up as readme text and stuff like that

[jkotis564]

@jackattack45 wait nvm i think its working now i just opened something i didn't click before lol

[jackattack45]

@jkotis564 Yay! :P

[jkotis564]

@jackattack45 Thanks for video btw it helped out sooooo much keep posting stuff

[jackattack45]

@jkotis564 No problem man. :D

[jkotis564]

@jackattack45 Ok so 2/3 games work but the 3rd doesn't have something i could open like the other 2. Any ideas?

[jackattack45]

@jkotis564 Try looking in the comments on Pirate Bay for some hints. If that doesn't work, you have to face the grim reality that some torrents just don't work very well. :P

[jkotis564]

@jackattack45 Alright thanks. I thinking maybe they were for Macs ill look on the site

[jackattack45]

@jkotis564 Np :D

[zeevondee]

awesome video mate - very helpful! cheers! z

[jackattack45]

@zeevondee I am glad think so!! :D

[Cecil3887]

I LOVE YOU MORE XD ahhhh wtf haha

[jackattack45]

@Cecil3887 :P

[ChuggaloverxD]

do you have registert in piratebay?

[jackattack45]

@ChuggaloverxD Nope :P

[BiRd8984]

@jackattack45 hey i'm trying to burn one of the shows i downloaded and i'm wondering how to burn using toast titanium, every time i try to burn to disc it says missing codes or just will not let me add files to toast. it works fine using mac the ripper when extracting content and adding file to toast to burn. i'm stuck,

[jackattack45]

@BiRd8984 I am not sure man. I have never used toast titanium :(

[SL1M4]

hey, ive recently downloaded Pro tools 9 on utorrent but i cant get past that...idk how to install or run the program...it would b really awesome if u could help

[jackattack45]

@SL1M4 You should just be able to open the .dmg file and install it from there.

[kieranlufs2rock]

thank you dude helped me so much

[jackattack45]

@kieranlufs2rock No problem! :D 

[nolo121]

Hi can i get some help, my said connection status unavailable.

And i do have internet.

[jackattack45]

@nolo121 Try uninstalling and reinstalling. I have had those problems before. Sometimes it just doesn't recognize it.

[travis737]

this is not working for me! when i go to download something from pirate bay it just downloads a acquisition (a program to download music, etc) file and does not go into uTorrent. Please help.

[jackattack45]

@travis737 That sounds like you need to uninstall that other program and then reinstall utorrent (this other program is your default downloading program, uninstalling it will make utorrent the default :D)

[Anakinsith2]

So how well does this work for games? I just downloaded Jedi Knight: Jedi Academy for mac and it's currently in uploading process, how do I install it from there?

[jackattack45]

@Anakinsith2 It does if you DL the right torrents :D

With the good ones all you have to do is drag and drop into your applications folder

[YummyBear37]

When the bar is green does that mean its done because my torrent is green but it says its like seeding. So do i just press stop?

[jackattack45]

@YummyBear37 Yup. That means it is done and you can press stop so it stops seeding :D

[ShuShuPikachu]

Entourage that is a great show lol

[jackattack45]

@ShuShuPikachu It really is :P

[LilyAlyss]

how do you actually use the stuff you doenload?

[jackattack45]

@LilyAlyss If you use the magnifying glass on the right side of the names of the downloads, you can show things in your finder and then you can use them from there. You can also right click on the torrent and hit show in finder. Which ever one you like :D

[LilyAlyss]

@jackattack45 Yeah I figured that out thanks heaps! Excuse my spelling on the first comment. The first torrent I downloaded was broken so it didn't work and I assumed it was exactly the same for all torrents, but then I downloaded something else and I realised it worked. Thanks again!

[jackattack45]

@LilyAlyss Yeah man, no problem! Glad I could help :D

[nicho923x]

i thepiratebay says it's updating and it's taking forever!!! help please

[jackattack45]

@nicho923x Yeah sometimes the Pirate Bay is a little slow/doesn't work, just come back in a few hours and it should be good to go :D

[dryan084]

Dude,what does seeding mean? Ive downloaded all my torrents, but when its trying to upload, I guess it says 0 (134) Seeds ? What is all this?

[jackattack45]

@dryan084 Seeding is when you are leaving the file in the peer to peer market allowing people to download the file from you. You can hit stop on each individual to stop it from seeding or you can continue to let it seed. It basically just gives people another place to download from so it goes faster :D

[yangboi88]

nice good and fast video about downloading utorret. Good Job bro!

[jackattack45]

@yangboi88 Thanks man! Make sure to sub for more good vids :D

[jackattack45]

@MrHarryBaals Awesome man! Glad to hear!

[jackattack45]

@401shortstop Awesome! Thanks for subbing :D

[FAA102]

is there a good torrent to download Adobe After Effects CS4 for Mac?

[chapipo4]

GOT IT!!!!!! THANKS ALOT !! YOUR THE MAN!!!!! :D

[jackattack45]

@chapipo4 No problem man! Make sure to sub for more great vids :P

[chapipo4]

ok so i find my torrent on the pirate bay then and hit " download this torrent " , it automatically opens up utorrent and starts downloading but when i double click it i dont see the individual files :S am i doing some thing wrong.....

srry my english is not the best

[jackattack45]

@chapipo4 When you click on the torrent, it is in the bottom bar. There is a tab for files. Look in there and you should be able to select which files you want to download :D

[chapipo4]

Great video dude!  how do you pick only one song from the album?

[jackattack45]

@chapipo4 When you add the torrent to your download queue, you should be able to look at the individual files you are downloading by right clicking. You can actually tell it to stop Downloading certain files :D

[puppetierz]

hey i have a question, its downloaded but it still says its seeding. do i need to keep letting it seed? also, how do i get my audio files to appear on itunes? (or more so, onto my comp as an mpeg [right now its just a file and its seeding] )

[jackattack45]

@puppetierz You do not have to keep letting it seed. You can press the stop button and it will discontinue seeding. You search them in your finder and right click, you should see open with and then hit ITunes and it should import the song :D

Sorry for the delayed response btw. (I normally respond a lot quicker) :P

[kjnknknkn]

is it safe?

[jackattack45]

@kjnknknkn As long as you read the comments and are smart about it, it is very safe.

[jayce2230]

mine just keeps seeding

[jackattack45]

@jayce2230 Your download? (If yes, just hit the stop button) :D

[alec126]

I downloaded the application and put it into the application folder but it s only a folder and not the actual application. What am I doing wrong?

[Egroj2792]

when i hit the download torrent button it doesn't open with utorrent it opens with frostwire how do i switch it?

[jackattack45]

@Egroj2792 You need to uninstall frostwire and install utorrent (right now frostwire is your default program) then you can reinstall frostwire and it should download straight to utorrent :D

[CommentBadER]

i got a problem i try to download it and it works everything works except for when i go to click it it wont open any ideas

[jackattack45]

@CommentBadER Right click on it and hit show in finder. You should be able to open it from there

[RadtCo]

I've got a problem with my incoming TCP-Port (preferences --> network)!! There's written: "Connection status unavailable" and there's a grey point in the bottom right corner and not a green one. How can I make it green???

[jackattack45]

@RadtCo Try restarting your computer. Sometimes it is weird and doesn't recognize the connection.

[RadtCo]

@jackattack45 I did it but it still doesn't work. I looked up to my firewall but there's alright and the incomming connection for uTorrent is open. So I don't know what I can do more... I ofter restart my Mac but it always says the same with "no incomming connections". Maybe I did a mistake and failed the preferences :S

Can you help me with that? :)

[jackattack45]

@RadtCo Sure. Trying going into preferences and then network and randomizing the ports. Sometimes they mess up when you install it.

[soohoo8998]

how can i resume inactive downloads?

[jackattack45]

@soohoo8998 There should be a button to do it in Utorrent.

[TrIIcKSniping]

the program doesnt open after ive downloaded it and dragged into the folder help plx

[jackattack45]

@TrIIcKSniping Just go into your applications folder and open it from there.

[CommentBadER]

@jackattack45 same thing with me except still aint work like i press it and it wont open up



[JinxanatorF22]

hi i go to the utorrent site and there is text over the download now thing and i cant access it

any ideas? ive tried reloading the page

[jackattack45]

@JinxanatorF22 You don't want to hit the download now button, you want to hit the Download this torrent button. There is a lot of fake "download" buttons as advertising. Let me know how that works.

[DubStepVIIX]

Thumbs up for jackattack45 I love Entourage! <3

[jackattack45]

@DubStepVIIX Thanks man! Make sure to subscribe for more!

[Yomama2nite]

ok...everyone talks about downloading. how to you actually play songs...when i click on the song it doesn't do anything. how to I get the song to play?

[jackattack45]

@Yomama2nite You can copy and paste the songs into your itunes folder and play them from there. You can also use itunes to search for new songs on your computer.

[LittleMKing]

whenever i click on the download this torrent button, it will start the download on frostwire. why?

[jackattack45]

@LittleMKing B/c frostwire is your default downloading program. Try uninstalling frostwire and installing utorrent. This should make utorrent your default downloader and you can reinstall frostwire after that :D

[ALLiOopz]

thanks so much! im a newer mac user/newer music downloader so this helped me to feel like less of an idiot hahaha

[jackattack45]

@ALLiOopz No problem!

[PersianMidiLax]

I heard that for games, the multiplayer usually doesn't work. Is that true? Why is that?

[jackattack45]

@PersianMidiLax The multiplayer never works. This is b/c the actual mode multiplayer forces the game to go online and when it goes online, it searches for updates. Since you have a "cracked" game, it will realize this and kick you off the game. Never a fun time. You want to avoid all online updates when playing a cracked game :D

[2kagomelover12]

@jackattack45 ok. thx. Also, do you know any ways to make the download go by faster?

[jackattack45]

@2kagomelover12 No prob. There really is no way to make it go faster. It does help if you pick a torrent with the highest number of seeders tho b/c there are more people that you can draw from when you are downloading.

[jackattack45]

@jaimejerezano1 you need to uninstall frostwire and install utorrent. Then utorrent will be your default downloader.

[d4n141]

How do you do selective downloads, for example when you're trying to download a movie and it has a sample vid so you can check the quality. How do I download just the sample and not the whole thing?

[jackattack45]

@d4n141 It depends on which site you are using.
