Someone, please let me know if I'm doing something wrong...have been downloading non-stop for 2 weeks now and am only at 68%...I use Utorrent...anybody know what could be the issue? Of course there are no seeders but plenty of peers...sometimes I don't always understand how this whole torrent thing works...
I'm seeding.
Just be patient. It's over 1 Gb. Mine took over a week to finish, too!

Thanks much...but guess what happened...and I have no idea if it's related to downloading torrents, UTorrent, my router, or what...but as I was downloading yesterday, my computer would freeze and I would get and error...now my computer won't even boot up...is there ever a chance of viruses or anything coming through torrent files and connection to peers?

If it was just Queenzone torrents, then definitely not. But if you were downloading stuff from some other torrent site, then it's possible.

I´ve had that happening to me a couple of weeks before and i´m almost certain that it was due to an automatic actualization by Microsoft. I remember going to forums and they really fucked up this time.
Try install your Windows again over the one that is already installed and it should be OK. At least you can backup your files before deleting your Disk if that´s what you want.
Then install a good firewall like Zonealarm (free)and a good antivirus like AVG (free).
Take care

Thanks for your help! Unfortunately, I can't even get the computer to boot up so I can reinstall Windows again. I would like to at least back-up all my files on my computer...I just hope it's not too late...

It was Queenzone and Dime...I suspect it's router related as I did visit the help page on Utorrent and it mentioned something like that, but I didn't expect my entire pc to just crash!

You better call a friend who understands about it. I thought that you could bypass Windows and go to the Bios settings, but if you can´t even start the computer, ask someone to take your hard drive and install it in other computer, then copy them. Carefull about what you have on your hard drive if you´re thinking taking it to someone to fix it.
