Rob_P Posted March 11, 2006 Report Share Posted March 11, 2006 Click on the very first rar file.There should be a CD1 and CD2?Extract the first file out of each, drop em on the desk top and open em in VLCNot entirely correct but thats the basic I THINK Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MadManMike Posted March 11, 2006 Report Share Posted March 11, 2006 Yeah a lot of them are like that, rather than one big Avi file they are a folder of little files that kind of piece together... odd but there we go... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tomm Posted March 11, 2006 Report Share Posted March 11, 2006 Yeah a lot of them are like that, rather than one big Avi file they are a folder of little files that kind of piece together... odd but there we go...It's so you can download them in bits - like if one bit fails then you can re-download that. A bit odd as torrents auto-resume anyway, but it's not exactly difficult to extract them once you have WinRAR (which every PC should have anyway...).P.S. Downloading the OC is not legal.

Dr. Nick Riviera Posted March 11, 2006 Author Report Share Posted March 11, 2006 bah , how come , its free to watch on the television? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tomm Posted March 11, 2006 Report Share Posted March 11, 2006 Yeah, but Channel 4 pay loads for it, they get money back in the advertising. If you download it, you don't get the adverts. It's still copyrighted even though it's been on TV. Although it's not very different to video-ing something and cutting out the breaks. Apparently some people are going to do on-demand TV with adverts. So you can download TV shows for free, but they'll have adverts in. I kinda like the idea, but I can't help thinking that torrents are free with no adverts... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Simon Posted March 11, 2006 Report Share Posted March 11, 2006 For future reference, the torrents will be named .r00 .r01 and so on. So, if there is a .rar, you open that one, if there isn't a .rar then you open .r00, if no .r00 then its .r01.Usually how ever it's .rar, so if their isn't a .rar i would check if its complete. If their isn't a .r01 then it isn't complete. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
