Hello mike. It seems you don't have the flash player installed or just a really outdated version. You can download the newest version for linux here:

download the RPM file since you use Mandriva. That should solve your problem. Now for your Bittorrent problem, you need a Bittorrent client, such as the OFFICIAL Bittorrent client, or Bittornado. I've found the official bittorrent to work better on both Windows and Linux. You can download the official bittorrent client here:

That should solve your problems. Any other questions feel free to ask
