Hi all.
Could do with some help. I have my Raspberry Pi SD card and controllers. I've installed NZBget and would like to download the Megadrive games to run on this. I've downloaded a torrent file? not sure… from this website but nothing happens on NZBget? What do I need to do to download the file?
Thanks!

You would benefit from Torrent downloading software, like QBitTorrent. (https://www.qbittorrent.org) I found the torrent process to be painfully slow. Usenet is ridiculously faster (600Kbps vs 160Mbps). It is up to you though.
If your internet provider does not provide a newsgroup (Usenet) service, you could always go with an alternative like Frugal Usenet (http://www.frugalusenet.com). Frugal Usenet is super cheap, super fast (no speed caps), no download caps (no data limit).
Anyhow, good luck.

Offline Hi,
Speed / time not an issue for me so I've downloaded (https://www.qbittorrent.org)Â
How would I open the file within this software as its not showing as supported?

It would be easiest if you followed this:

As for time, I spent a day downloading via Torrent and barely had 2% of the file. At the rate I was getting, it would take about 60 days to get it. I switched to Usenet and downloaded the 120Gb nzb file in about an hour. Keep in mind, I have a 1Gbps connection.

Some torrents are better seeded than others, newer torrents are seeded for a couple of months by us, but it seems when we switch off , all the leechers are exposed and hardly anyone is seeding ?
