Re: how do i open a torrent

In the columns where there are torrents, you’ll see the two columns that say SEEDERS… LEECHERS or S and L

The more seeders, the more likely and faster you’ll be able to download. The less seeders the slower and less likely you’ll be able to download it. Leechers are people, like yourself, who are trying to download that file.

^ that is the name of the release group that ripped the movie, its TPB. All the scene groups have to name their releases according to the "scene" rule, and the last part is always the group name when naming a release, before they PRE it.

In your case you are trying to download a screener of a movie, which is totally illegal and GS does know encourage any illegal activities.

Re: how do i open a torrent

I am not downloading it on GS and I got the link of the torrent from a guppy and I have already downloaded it.

Lusi · February 1, 2008, 1:50am

Re: how do i open a torrent

gosh I am just going to delete it… I can’t afford the embarrasment of going to the help desk again (if this is a virus)

Re: how do i open a torrent

^To watch or not to watch..is your decision. :) But here's how u do it though....after it's done downloading.... Either the downloaded file will be in a folder and a movie within, a movie on its own, no extraction needed or if it's been compressed it will bein RAR format...in which case...

If it's in rar format, double click on it and it will automatically open up in winrar.

Now! Two possibilities here

Once open in Winrar, there's a folder(s) and you just open the folder(s) and there's the desired content within it. Double-click and watch....or Drag to desktop and it will be extracted thereby ready to watch again w/out extracting.
Once you open the downloaded file in winrar, it will have more files within it (sometimes named .001, etc..), You have to further extract it, do that by right-clicking any one of the files, usually the first rar file u see, and the rest will link and extract automatically without you having to do anything. The end result will be the same as Step 1.
