Nick_i_am Posted April 29, 2008 Posted April 29, 2008 I didn't understand the answer to the last thread. HOW DO I PLAY .TORRENT FILES?! thx (Approved by Fio, so feel free to use it)
Llyranor Posted April 29, 2008 Posted April 29, 2008 To play torrent files, you need a torrent player. It's like an mp3 player, but for torrent files. (Approved by Fio, so feel free to use it)
Fionavar Posted April 29, 2008 Posted April 29, 2008 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? See also BitTorrent itself. I hope this helps - thread closed.
