Technical problems with THE HORROR: downloading, installing, and running it
Solowren:
I love how all of the noobs preface their posts by giving us free reign to beat them with various objects.
It brings a tear to my eye.
Insanity Prelude:
Okay, so it seems to be a port forwarding issue. I'm not sure how to fix that with Comodo, or even if I should (although it does mean I'm not, technically, seeding and that's not very polite.)
Edit: Found out how to fix it, but is it risky to do so?

ETA: Edited, because I didn't see literatebse's answer before I posted.
Sadly, the fact that it's hard to tell if this game is just a release candidate or is, in fact, the real deal - that does not bode well, I think, for the critical and/or commercial success of the game. Don't get me wrong, it's an okay game, to be sure. But, it's kind of a one trick pony as it is. There's about, what, a handful of items in the object catalog; only 20 something hairstyles; various annoying behaviors...and no customization allowed, except through EA's shitty, overpriced Sim Store (which is basically a bunch of TS2 object imports)? I kept thinking, while I was playing, oh this game could be so awesome if there could be meshes and mods, but, no. I know that without CC I'm going to get bored of this game after a few sim generations (after I've seen all the game has to offer), and then it'll back to my overly hacked, historical themed 'hoods in TS2.
And for anyone having trouble with the torrents, have you tried the rapidshare and netload download options? After I hit a 24.6% wall, I switched to downloading the 400mb pieces on netload, and I got the game within a few hours.
Lum:
The Seedgames link is a lifesaver for me after waiting for two days. It consolidated the 30% I had already downloaded; it should be done overnight.
Insanity Prelude:
Holy crap. It just went up to 500 kb/s.
Anyway, yeah... I want to believe too, from what I'm hearing, but it really wouldn't surprise me if this were the final, bugs and all.
Edit: Followed the directions to get Comodo to do port forwarding- it still says "no incoming connections" but I'm getting great download speed and uTorrent claims I've uploaded 400 MB. I'm confused.
Son of Edit: Looks like there was just a lag in the status reporting thingy.
