I snagged it off irc or a ddl, I forgot. It took about 40 minutes, so it was probably a ddl. I finished watching it about 3am EST.

BitComet is garbage. uTorrent is much better than it, though I use ABC, eventually I'll upgrade to uTorrent. As for the ports issue, if you're using a router I know that can cause some problems, and there are actually groups that restrict the standard BT ports so you need to open up random ones. That would unfortunately be the extent of my knowledge though.

I've been using IRC pretty much exclusively for about a year and a half. Fastest way to download, unless you're one of those people who get insane BT speeds.

Now for another week of anticipation....
