Answer 1

Have you downloaded the actual torrent, or just the header file?

You need 2 things: (1) the header file, and (2) a torrent program. Azureus is good.
The header file is typically a couple of kilobytes. The torrent program uses this to track the ACTUAL file, which is being transferred between multiple users.

Still doesn't work? Well- the site that you got the header file from, or the main torrent itself, should have info on how Ergagon was encoded. (divX, xvid, etc). MAybe you just don't have the right codec installed for the files you downloaded.

I'll refrain from commenting on the ethics of bittorrent: "the L word" returns to USA screens shortly...
