What is it?
Which is the fastest and most comprehensive?

Check your settings and make sure you have an open port in the firewall. The good thing with Utorrent is that it automatically finds a port for you so you don't have to bother with changing stuff in the settings.

How long would you expect a 1.5 GB file to take?

That's impossible to say, it depends on how many seeds and peers there are and your internet speed and the other guys internet speed etc...
 
uTorrent ... I've had no problems with it. To make things easier, I would try to get into a private site that hosts their own torrents. This limits the amount of leechers and the seeders are more willing to seed longer because they trust the others on their site to seed as well.
 
I can't get a decent torrent for The Office is there any other way of downloading it?
 
μTorrent is the best. Bitcomet is very good but it had some problems with certain trackers, if they fixed those then you can use that too.
 
I use Bitlord simply because it's the first one i came across. Is there really that much difference, out of interest?
 
I used to think azureus but they've added loads of extra shite which makes it rape the CPU, so i'd say bitcomet now.
