I finally learned how to do this a month or two back....

We have it set up on our PC and everything works fine...The high speed modem is hooked up directly to the PC, and we have a wireless router for our laptops which we use in the rest of the house.

From the looking I have done, it seems like we get the same amount of speed and connection...I am able to download music and stuff lightning quick on my macbook.

I have tried to d/l torrents on my macbook though and it never works...

I have downloaded the correct bit torrent program especially for mac, but when i go to d/l, nothing happens....

Is there a trick for mac users?
