no, different models perform differently and you can buy the same components for less (this doesnt include their laptops). when you buy alienware your paying for the name your also buying a computer specifically made to perform well on games, not your every day office user.

Dave,

Do you download .torrent files at all? I've tried downloading a few here and there and using bittorent and another client to download/open them, but haven't had any success. I don't know if I don't have it set up right or not.

The one I'm interested in now is the complete set of Hikaru No Go. I've been reading it in Shonen Jump, but it's going to take another 4 years or more to finish at the current rate and the story's pretty good. I don't know how time consuming it is supposed to be, but I thought once you got it started, it took care of itself for the most part.

I'm getting a file that is about 32 kb in size. I then try to start it with the application and it says 'Getting Torrent Info' and spins the wheel and doesn't get anywhere, even after an hour or more. It doesn't even start dowloading. There are supposedly 15 seeders for the file.
