Multiple file torrents?

Question

I hate those torrents that have so many files for just a 1 hour show or something like that. When you download those from a bittorrent site do you have to watch each one separately or is there some way to make them play or what?

I would know the answer but my computer is so slow I don't wanna waste all the time downloading something just to find out it's not gonna work easily....

thanks, sorry if this is confusing.

Answer 1

Can you provide more information regarding the multiple files? Are the files ending with *.r01 *.r02, etc?

If that is the case, what you have a RAR-archived file and it's been split up into multiple file as a way to improve download performance and enables those file to be sent as attachments (if small enough). You will need to download all parts and re-integrate them into a single file and once re-integrate, the full media file can be extracted.

See http://www.winrar.com for more information.

Answer 2

agree with event horizon ( good movie :) )

u r probably talking about multiple archives that you need to extract into one file after you have completely DL it.

Unfortunately there is no way around it at least not an easy way that I know. Try avoiding those multiple archives especially if they are large and your conn is slow. You may end up waiting and DL for a long time and then if yor DL is incomplete or corrupt you can't extract the files anyway.
If you DL mpeg/avi etc you may play it even if incomplete - most of the times

i think of when you create and upload your torrent on your customer, you marvelous click on it and checklist diverse web content on diverse lines in the trackers field and then verify the preliminary seed field as established. i'm not useful, yet i'm surprisingly particular it is the type you do it.

Answer 4

not really getting your question clearly but, i suppose those are all split compressed files that when all downloaded are joined together to form one file.
