Before it was saying there were 14 hours to go, then 16, and now it's up to a day and 17 hours. It also saying 11 percent has been downloaded.

Is this normal? I havenot done this before.

In short. Yes, it can take a long time to download a torrent file. It all depends on how many people are seeding the file that you are receiving. The more seeders the better and quicker you will receive.

For more information, I point you in the direction of the chit chat area of this site where there's a thread called "What the hell is a torrent file"... alot of helpful information can be located here:
