This morning (well, afternoon) the Broadband box arrived. Huzzah!
Stick disc into 'Dows computer, run install, plug things in etc. THing works.
Stick disc into Mac, disc does not work.
Spend HALF AN HOUR on the telephone to India to find out that the bloody disc not only doesn't work on a Mac, but isn't needed, and that if I plug in the cable and then set up the wireless it will work fine (as shown by me sitting at my desk typing with no cables anywhere.
AAARGH! Stupid peoples! Stupid design of instructions!

Stupid BT. If they hadn't put "Don't touch anything else before you install this disc or your comkputer will explode", or words to the same effect, on it, I would have had no problems.

Yarr. As evidenced by that last yarr.
Now all I need is the destructions on torrenting. I wants me the Tau codex and the Iron Heroes DM book and I'm damned if I'm paying for them. Also Mutants and Masterminds.

Teehee. You'll need to google for a BitTorrent client that works on a mac (I use Azureus, but yeah, I'm on a 'dows machine), find a torrent file on a site like isohunt and then open it using the client BOOM! Since you're not using a 'dows machine I'll skip the "download AVG, scan your computer regularly, and keep AVG up-to-date and running at all times" part...

From what I was doing:
1. Plug ethernet cable direct from router to the socket on the side.
2. Use internet. It works.
3. Unplug cable, switch on Airport.
4. Click on the relevant bit in the airport menu on the top right of the screen.
5. Enter the password (on the router in my case).
That's how mine worked, anyways.
Y' know, if it's not working you could always send tech-support an e-mail or call them...

As for BitTorrent Alex you can use Azereus but I find the original BitTorrent client the easiest to use, you can find it hereAs for finding torrents The Pirate Bay is always good ;D ( thepiratebay.org)

Pirate Bay doesn't seem to have much in the way of D&D stuff, oddly enough.
