My torrent file did not work?

Question

hello there

im noob to this downloading torrent file and im using azureus as the torrent client... currently i downloading several movie like the librarian, sex is zero home alone 3 it usually in .avi format. but when i try to preview the movie file, this message will keep appearing:

cannot play this media file. the file is either corrupt or the application does not support the format you are trying to play.

i tried it with nero showtime, windows media player, interdvd, realtime, quicktime and all cant play the file. i think the .avi can play in those player

so what do u think the problem is??? since i downloaded any torrent file movie is never work.. only application and ebook work...

so anybody any idea????
thank you . terima kasih

Answer 1

You have to wait until movie is at least 10% before preview will work. That's not a law, just my estimation.

In general BT's preview is useless as it divides files into too many small chunks and they are never downloaded in order, so by the time you got a large contiguous piece to preview you already got a lot downloaded.

Answer 2

All right... first off, you DID download the ENTIRE the movie before even trying to play it, right? You can't just play it in the middle of downloading or else it'll be "corrupted." You've got to download the entire movie. Make sure you've got enough seeds, peers, etc. Forget the preview sh*t. Just wait until it's done! Once the downloaded file moves to the bottom of the Azureus screen (meaning it's done downloading), you can go ahead and find out where the file is saved. Then, play it with Core Media Player, BSPlayer (has adware, though), or DivX. I recommend Core Media Player because it's much lighter than DivX (very bulky for a slower comp) and also can play .ogm/.ogg files if you ever download those. BSPlayer is also quite compact, but it has this "WhenUSave" ad crap that's annoying, sooo... plus, it can't play subtitles well like Core can.
.avi files should work with just about anything, sooo... if they're not working, then I don't know what to tell you. Maybe try Windows Media Player Classic or something, though I personally do not like that.

Yeah I have the same problem and am not new to torrents I would suggest you just download another torrent make sure it's not the same one just look at the size and uploader or you can try to download from warez sites like projectw.org , katz.com devilived.com etc they all have good stuff that works you just gotta have a rapidshare account most of the time and that's the only thing about it other than that it's ok.

If there's a itemizing named CRACK in a torrent document, this means that the document (application or video games) you have downloaded is pirated. in basic terms stay far flung from those documents, as they'd harm ur computing device as they includes many malicious courses/codes, or you will be the sufferer of application counterfeiting. Do respond in case you % any help concerning this.

Answer 5

First try to download at least 20%.But in some files it may not work & get corrupted.If you cannot play the file at all try downloading it from another source.
