Lance, torrent is file sharing where you access another persons file at the same time as letting others access your file, so you are dependant on others being on line and multiple users trying to download at the same file. It is also common practice for ISPs too throttle (slow down) torrent sites when demand is high, as many files are breaching copyright (we won't go there!).

They must be keeping you busy in Harrogate. It's taken you well over a day to think of that.  ;)
