I need help with bitcomet. I think my dowload is done, because it says it's 100% progressed. (R)?

Question

--But I don't know how to open the file. Also, it says now, under status, that it's uploading- does this mean that the file is not done? This is the first thing I have tried to dowload from bitcomet, it's supposed to be the full first season of Alias. Even though it says uploading, I hit the OpenDir icon and it opened up what I thought was supposed to be the season and I could hear the show but there is no picture. Is this because the file really isn't down uploading or is it messed up?
What is "uploading as opposed to downloading"?

I'm really bad with electronics so please try and be specific.
Thank you for any help you can provide, much appreaciated.

Answer 1

well as long as it says 100% on your machine its full downloaded the file will show upload as long as the file is still on the list, eg your sharing it with other people using that torrrent, the reason u get no video, could be the program your using to open the file doesnt have the corrrect codecs etc..
i would advise getting vlcplayer.
http://www.videolan.org/vlc/ this will play 99% formats
enjoy

Answer 2

Right Click that file and SCAN IT FOR VIRUSES BEFORE YOU CLICK ON IT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Don't play it until you've scanned it!!!!!!!!!!! If you don't have a virus scan, then DELETE it but DON"T OPEN IT! SCAN everything and anything you download from anywhere on the net BEFORE you open it!!!!!!!!! Do this everytime and you'll never have viruses, etc. or computer problems. If you're too lazy to use your virus scan, then you might as well throw that computer in the trash. Scan it, if it's safe, then you can open it. Just trying to save you a lot of headache! :-) good luck
