I'm new to this entire torrent business and I'm not all that great with computers..

I just downloaded Utorrent but nothing will download... it tries to download for a couple minutes then an error arises, saying error: read-only file system.

what does that mean and what am i doing wrong ?!

This seems like it is a problem with your system, as opposed to uTorrent. It may be difficult for you to check the following, so you may need someone to help you.

1. check that you have permissions in the download folder (right-click > Get Info > Sharing & Permissions)

2. where are you downloading the files to? check you're not downloading to somewhere silly like an external hard disk or thumb drive with a read-only switch on; or even a system folder or a location on another computer that you only have permission to read files, not save them

3. have a look at your settings (uTorrent > Preferences > Directories) - try changing the download location to your Downloads folder, or even your Desktop (temporarily, otherwise you'll end up with a lot of clutter!)

4. have a look at your Console application to check the logs - you can search under Console Messages for your error
