    You gift normal users with a lot of skills there boiled_elephant, I have seen many people struggle with finding the Desktop, let alone My Documents and My Pictures.

    Oh, if I could only somehow reclaim all the hours of my life spent trying to narrate to people over the phone how to find and use the address bar...but yeah. Suffice to say, most users never get as far as going into diskmgmt, formatting their unused space and moving all their torrented movies into it :sigh:

    Actually, it could also mean you were using a computer before these folders existed.
    My first file structure was a drawer full of floppy's :D
    (actually it was a box full of cassettes)

    If they manage to torrent, but do not know how to create a folder, something is wrong.
    (Also, I'd like to know what torrent program and search engine is this user friendly) ;)

    Utorrrent is pretty user friendly. Click torrent auto download begins to the default download place.

    Doesn't handle "Magnet" torrents which seem to be most these days

    It totally does if you let it update every couple of years.

    Hmmm, when I click on a magnetlink, µtorrent does naught....
    Ah well, need to reinstall it anyway, let's check anew!
