terry the lone wolf Posted June 12, 2006 Posted June 12, 2006 I downloaded a Mospeada bittorent avi and I want to change it to a avi. Is there software available? Quote
bsu legato Posted June 12, 2006 Posted June 12, 2006 aren't the two the same thing? 407231[/snapback] Yeah, I'm confused too. Quote
mikeszekely Posted June 12, 2006 Posted June 12, 2006 What OS and what bittorrent software are you using? Quote
terry the lone wolf Posted June 12, 2006 Author Posted June 12, 2006 (edited) What OS and what bittorrent software are you using? 407256[/snapback] I have XP Home and I don't have any bittorent software. I downloaded a file from a RAR archive and I extracted it. The file came out as avi torrent. Do you know what software I can use? Edited June 12, 2006 by terry the lone wolf Quote
fulcy Posted June 12, 2006 Posted June 12, 2006 Well, that's probably the problem - you need a bit torrent client to download the actual AVI file - the file you have is basically just a pointer to the actual file... Quote
HoveringCheesecake Posted June 12, 2006 Posted June 12, 2006 lol yeah, you actually need to USE bittorrent. Quote

mikeszekely Posted June 12, 2006 Posted June 12, 2006 I reccomend ABC, mostly for its ease of use. After you've installed it, right-click the torrent file you downloaded, then choose the "Open With..." command. If ABC isn't on the list, browse for it. Then, assuming that there are people seeding the file, ABC will download the avi that goes with your torrent file. In the future, instead of downloading a torrent to your computer and opening it with ABC later, you'll be able to instruct your browser to open torrent files with ABC to begin with (the one real advantage to Windows and ABC over Mac OS and Transmission).
