Here is my guide for bittorrent:

Limewire does have a bittorrent client built in, but it's not very good. Try it with a different client, like Azureus or uTorrent (look at the above link).
If it still doesn't work, try this (in order):
-If you have a firewall running(even Windows Firewall), you will need to forward some ports. Contact me for help with this.
-If you have a tracker error, then the torrent might work eventually, but slowly.
-If there are 0 seeds and 0 peers, the torrent is dead. It will never work.
-If there are 0 seeds and less than 5 peers, the torrent is dead. It will probably never work.
-If there are 0 seeds and around 5-15 peers, you need to check the availability ratio. If it's under 1.0, the torrent is dead. It will probably never work. If it's over 1.0, then it will work. The higher the ratio, the faster it will work.
-If there is at least 1 seed, the torrent is alive and will eventually work. If that 1 seed leaves, however, read above.
-If there are at least 5 seeds and 5 peers, then you should be downloading at a nice speed. If you're not, then it's a firewall or router problem. Contact me.
