transmission bittorrent in mint 7 is new to me, how do I make it work ? do I have to
 
Hi there, 24 hours into mint and the only problem is getting transmission to do ANYTHING. I don't know how to "switch it on", I don't know if I have to "interface" it with my browser (firefox), I don't know if I have to install certain packages to make it work. I've checked as many tutorials as I can find but still no joy.There must be some way to utilise torrent sites such as pirate bay, mininova, bitjunkie etc, but I haven't got a clue. Any help or suggestions, especially "step by step" guides would be most appreciated.

Thank you

would be gratefully accepted.

Download a torrent tracker and open the file with transmission.
