The wizard will help you set the correct kind of connection and let you decide where you want the files downloaded.
Downloading Download a torrent from http://yop2p.com/ http://thepiratebay.org/ http://isohunt.com/ http://www.mininova.org/ just to name a few of the many thousands of torrent trackers out there.

If it's yellow you might need to configure your firewall, but the download should work just fine anyway. If the icon is red, it means that you are not connected to anyone having 100 % of the file.

Up to the right you see how much you have downloaded and below you see how many complete copies of the file there is available from all seeds and peers that you are connected to. Tracker status is shown down to the left. Sometimes it says "Connection Error", but just be patient and wait. After a short while it usually changes to "OK". If it says error after a few hours and you are not connected to any seeds, the torrent might be dead or you could try to restart the client.
Other info Always try to upload at least as much as you download. That’s the way to keep the bittorrent network alive. Share ratio, Having a share ratio above 1.0 means you have uploaded more than you have downloaded, which is good. When you have 100 % and don’t have a ratio above 1.0, just wait and more peers might connect. If there hasn't been any new peers for a few days, you may disconnect even though your ratio is bad.
If you need to shut down your computer, Azureus will resume your downloads when you start up again. You will not have to start the download from the beginning.
