Despite .torrents being a fine line, I would like to get a player. I can deal with an unsure reccomendation, I'll take whatever risks. If theres a free player out there that anyone knows about... And yes, free. I'm cheapo. Oh? Why don't I google it? Becuase someone here would know better than some search engine. >_<

Are you talking about a player as in a music player (I have no idea how that would work) or a downloading program?

Torrents come in random chunks. I think he means something that can play a partially completed audio or video torrent file.

That is all.

Well, using Azureus I can open up FLV player and it plays all partially downloaded movies. No idea about sound, though.

"Of course the people don't want war. But after all, it's the leaders of the country who determine the policy, and it's always a simple matter to drag the people along whether it's a democracy, a fascist dictatorship, or a parliament, or a communist dictatorship. Voice or no voice, the people can always be brought to the bidding of the leaders. That is easy. All you have to do is tell them they are being attacked, and denounce the pacifists for lack of patriotism, and exposing the country to greater danger."

Now that you mention it I remember seeing someone do that.

 

In case that you are asking for help downloading I use http://www.utorrent.com/ . I have nothing to download nowadays as I only donwload completely legal stuff and there is nothing that has interested me so it might have gone to hell for all I know.

I have no idea what this guy is talking about.

DISCLAIMER: Do not take what I write seriously unless it is clearly and in no uncertain terms, declared by me to be meant in a serious and non-humoristic manner. If there is no clear indication, asume the post is written in jest. This notification is meant very seriously and its purpouse is to avoid misunderstandings and the consequences thereof. Furthermore; I can not be held accountable for anything I write on these forums since the idea of taking serious responsability for my unserious actions, is an oxymoron in itself.

Clarify what exactly you are wanting, yes, walkerguy. If it's playing partially downloaded torrent A/V, then an FLV player or winamp is the best way to go. If downloading, I have to agree with the utorrent recommendation.

Once I have downloaded .torrent files I need a player for them.

Uh... you don't play torrent files. Just to cover all bases, I'll explain:

 

1. You search for a torrent file of whatever you want to download. (e.g. an mp3 of Mary had a little lamb.)

2. You download the .torrent file, which is tiny and isn't actually the mp3.

3. You run a torrent program such as Utorrent (linked above) to use the .torrent file to download the acutal mp3.

4. You play the .mp3 in winamp or whatever.

 

I suspect you are actually talking about step 3. There is no such thing as a torrent player. Yes?

Yes.

So what you are looking for does not exist and you admit that, correct?

I think he meant that he was looking for a torrent downloading program, which he has been linked to and all is good in the world again.
