techjpm New member Dec 16, 2007 #1 I have downloaded a few torrents. I have tried playing them, but nothing happens. I have installed the holiday divx, VLC, quicktime, vistacodec package, flac, and a few others. Please help me get these files working. TIA.

C33 Moderator Staff member Dec 16, 2007 #2 Okay. 1) Which torrents have you downloaded? 2) You know you can't play the actual .torrent file. All that is is a small info file that tells a torrent program (like bitTorrent or Azeureus) where to go to get the file from others. The .torrent file does not contain any actual media.
