Title: Bit Torrent
Post by: Woodsey on June 18, 2006, 12:06:04 PM
OK i'll admit it it, I'm a bit of an IT reprobate. I'm currently trying to download the new high stakes poker episode but can't seem to get it to work. I have the bit torrent programme and open that up before I start, and then I click on the link from whatever site I am downloading it from but it doesn't seem to work, I get an error message from the bit torrent programme. Any suggestions?

Yes.

I found Bitcomet easier to use than Bittorrent

Hello, donkey here again.

Still can't get it to work, this is what I'am doing.

1. Opening up bit comet
2. Typing in the website address into the internet bar at the top of the bitcomet page
3. clicking on download on the HSpoker link
4. After clicking either run or save I get a message asking what programme I want to run it with, giving all the usual windows options realplayer etc and they aint working. I've tried seltecting bit comet here and it doesn't work

What else shold I try?

Dont save it, open the torrent in the program and click ok.

When I do that i get this message

Windows cannot open this file

To open this file, windows need to know what program created it. Windows can go online to look it up automatically, or you can manually select from a list of programs on the computer

then there are 2 possible links to click on

1. Use the the web to find the appropriate program
2. select from a list.

If i select bit comet here it doesn't work

Click the link, when the popup appears open with bitcomet (navigate to it in explorer if needed) then tick the box (always associate these files with this program etc.) and it should work.
