How do I view my Torrent file?

[pinkie]

It says my Windows Media Player doesnt have the right plugin, and I cant download Realplayer, cause, the website is being stupid.

I dont know where else im supposed to turn! This is my first ever torrent download, and im confused xD

I looked over the FAQ and everything, I couldnt find anything to help me.

Is there a special program to use? If not- what kind of "plugin" do I need for WMP?

open uT

goto files

if the file you want to view is complete you can right click open

if your have completed the file, you may need to get the codec,

first i would see if you can open in http://www.videolan.org/vlc to see if that can play it

heh, lets get started here.

First of all, that torrent file is very small. It can't possibly have a movie in it, a torrent file is pretty much instructions for utorrent (or any other client) to download.

Open utorrent, and use the Add button, and browse to the torrent file, open it. It will now ask where you want to save the file, choose somewhere. THIS IS IMPORTANT: Remember where you are saving this movie file.

Now let utorrent download the file for you, it will probably take a bit to speed up, the more seeders and peers it has, the faster it will download. When it is finished, go to the folder you chose to save it and you can start watching.

So it wont play in uTorrent, correct?

[pinkie]

well yeah, thats what I did, but I dont have any programs that will play it. Thats the thing.

ah, ok. I recommend Media Player Classic for a media player

http://sourceforge.net/projects/guliverkli/ it's in there somewhere.

If it still doesn't play with that, you will need a codec pack.

Thats a popular one and covers a lot of the options.
