thoughtcriminal31 Posted November 12, 2006 Report Share Posted November 12, 2006 I have read:"This forum is NOT for help.... content is strictly FORBIDDEN."Therefore to put this is politely as possible I am not asking for help with the downloaded content, but the function of uTorrent.I have read as much about it as I can understamd, which is probably limited as I am not good with computers.I have allowed a torrent to download to 100% and it has seeded, yet I do not understand WHAT it is that I have downloaded. As in, have I downloaded some sort of media file, [this is not an illegal source by the way, it is a legal unsigned band] or am I yet to aquire a media file? If I have aquired a media file, what do I do with it? If that very last question breaks the rules then any help with the previous questions would be appreciated.Thanks in advance!

thoughtcriminal31 Posted November 12, 2006 Author Report Share Posted November 12, 2006 Ok.. to rephrase a little.. is the function of uTorrent to aquire media files that can be played immediately after?In that way I am not asking about anything I have downloaded.

Ultima Posted November 12, 2006 Report Share Posted November 12, 2006 No. It is the function of µTorrent to download the content described in a .torrent file. That is all. It has nothing to do with media, or the playability of the media for that matter. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thoughtcriminal31 Posted November 12, 2006 Author Report Share Posted November 12, 2006 Ok thank you..However, say the content decribed in the torrent file would appear to a user to be an album, would uTorrent allow said user to have however many tracks that album has as seperate files playable with, say, WMP?I know I'm pushing it a bit here... but I am very lost, and nothing I read seems to help.

Ultima Posted November 12, 2006 Report Share Posted November 12, 2006 µTorrent does not "allow" anything. Again, all it does is download. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lord Alderaan Posted November 13, 2006 Report Share Posted November 13, 2006 The content of the torrent is made by the creator of the .torrent file. Not only can't we help you, we simply don't know the answer to your question because µtorrent can be used to download pretty much anything.It would be about the same as asking a USB-stick production company about data someone placed on your stick when you lend it to him/her.Your best chance is going back to the source of the .torrent file and ask them. The rule isn't just there for keep µtorrent clean from any illegal activity. Its because we don't know the answer to 90% of those questions and they clutter the forum and take time away from those people who can and are willing to help with problems we can solve.

Vike Posted November 14, 2006 Report Share Posted November 14, 2006 Keep in mind there are a lot of other forums that can help you with this too, maybe even on the tracker site itself. this forum is for the technical side of things only dealing with the program itself.

splintax Posted November 15, 2006 Report Share Posted November 15, 2006 Click on the torrent you've downloaded, then click the "Files" tab. That will show you all the files that were included in the torrent you downloaded. If you already have a player set up for the media you've downloaded, double-clicking a filename will open it in that player.Past that, uTorrent does not deal with anything other than raw data, like others have said. If the above instructions don't work, talk to the people you downloaded the files from and see what software you need to install to play what you've downloaded.
