Downloading on BitTorrent

Why is the file not instantly in my computer when I use BitTorrent? Is the wire not big enough hold the file and send it instantly, or is it because computers are magical and make no sense to me or any other sane person? I am sitting here stoned trying to figure this out, and it is making no sense.

    Because you're getting the file bit by bit from several people?

    It's probably because you don't have enough seeds or everyone has capped their upload speed.

    you need a bigger tube for that

    you have a little tube so he has to send the file in little pieces

    it takes so long because he has to tear it up first

    and then your PC has to reassemble it, so make sure you have a reassembler handy

    If it is porn you are downloading, the reason the Lord is making it take so long is because the longer you tug it in anticipate of the video, the more wonderful and full the load will be when you finally watch the video and nut.

    On a Hard disk that sits upon the back of a turtle, and below that turtle is another turtle with a hard drive on it's back. This repeats forever ad infinitum. Turtles all the way down.
