I'll try carrying on with the tutorial now and will post back shortly.

Re: Downloading torrents

OK, so no reply after 72 hours. Does anyone else care to take over and help me please? I'd prefer a GUI method, rather than a CLI method if possible.

Hello I finally took the plunge and bought a Raspberry Pi B+ and a pre-installed NOOBS SD card earlier this week. It's been a steep learning curve but I have already learned so much.
