horsgolfpokr Posted May 6, 2007 Author Report Share Posted May 6, 2007 Sorry for the dumb question. I just never saw a .part file and couldn't find much info on the net about them. Should of just did what my first intention to do was. Rename it to an .avi file. That worked and it opened fine. Wonder why it was named .part?At least it gave me a reason to sign up here. Since I'm BT noobie. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
~~sHyLoCk~~ Posted May 6, 2007 Report Share Posted May 6, 2007 lol...u must have started downloading it with bitcomet at first, and initially they allocate space on ur HD as *.part u cant play it until u completely download it! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ultima Posted May 6, 2007 Report Share Posted May 6, 2007 BitComet uses .bc! as an extension for partially downloaded files, so it has nothing to do with it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
horsgolfpokr Posted May 11, 2007 Author Report Share Posted May 11, 2007 I think the uploader named it a part to differentiate it from the non defective files Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ezra Posted May 12, 2007 Report Share Posted May 12, 2007 isn't .part a temp file that firefox uses for downloads? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
horsgolfpokr Posted May 14, 2007 Author Report Share Posted May 14, 2007 I have no idea? I couldn't find anything when I goggled .part files.The one out of like 40 that was named .part was the most defective of all of the video files in this torrent. The rest were all named .avi Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lord Alderaan Posted May 14, 2007 Report Share Posted May 14, 2007 isn't .part a temp file that firefox uses for downloads?This is correct. The creator probably added a unfinnished Firefox download to its torrent. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
µtorrent-Guest Posted May 14, 2007 Report Share Posted May 14, 2007 Hm, of course could be too that you guys are a bit on a wrong track here;While it is true that the Mozilla uses ".part" and at least one other downloadmanager that I know of two, maybe thread starter was refering to a splitted RAR file made with the alternative fileending instead of r01 to r99?!Of course help for your downloads are against the forum rules, so you haven't read the following links. THAT'S AN ORDER! http://whyrar.omfg.se/index_eng.phphttp://ds6.ovh.org/drp.html Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lord Alderaan Posted May 15, 2007 Report Share Posted May 15, 2007 Should of just did what my first intention to do was. Rename it to an .avi file. That worked and it opened fine.Can't be a rar. Has to be an unfinnished download, probably from a program that downloads progressively (like firefox) so that renaming it will allow you to play the part you have downloaded (in case of some music and video files).

horsgolfpokr Posted May 17, 2007 Author Report Share Posted May 17, 2007 First off who said it was copyrighted ? who said I was sharing it? Actually I never even said that I downloaded it. I was asking what the deal with .part files were. Apparently it is an extension used to show that there is part of the file missing for one reason or another. Thank you to everyone who chimed in. This was the best answer I got to my question.Whoever made the torrent made it with garbage files.Thank you Firon. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
