Right! And now......???

[Moley]

Hi all!
I am totally new to .torrents. I am using Azureus. I tried using uTorrent, but it kept telling me I had Nvidia firewall on and that there would be problems. So I ditched uTorrent, then still seemed to have problems with the Nvidia firewall, so dumped that as well, and am now using ZoneAlarm (with no problems so far! ).
Azureus is running away in the background downloading 'The Banana Splits'. In the download folder there appears to be 37 files, showing (what I would assume to be) the correct size for each file. But I am sure that they must still be downloading (unless my ISP now allows a 1 million MBps download).
Now, my questions are:
How do I know the download is complete?
How do I then, er, play the download? (They are .avi, er, s)
Many regards in advance,
Moley
PS Can you guess the next question I'll be asking?? Answers on a postcard to....

Hi there,

Wrong forum, and I'm afraid I can't help you with that one.

But I'm sure a mod can move it, and you'll get some help soon!

Best of luck,

Jonny

I can't guess what the next question is, but if its anything to do with illegal material then I wouldn't if I were you.

I can guess what your next question is.

Am I (Moley) nuts for asking questions about torrents and how to unpack them on these forums?

Answer:- Yes completly bananas go and ask on a torrent forum there are plenty of them.

Jonny.
Wrong forum, a? Well thanks for that. Guess I really am a newbie if I can't even find the right forum. Sorry, will bugger off right now!

No, no. Nothing illegal. Just any advice on some good .torrent sites? Illegal!? No that NEVER crossed my mind!

As you say:
"I can guess what your next question is."
Er, no you can't!
"Am I (Moley) nuts for asking questions about torrents and how to unpack them on these forums?"
No I (Moley) have always been nuts, but did think that this was a forum that could help. I was wrong. Sorry, once again! Guess being a newbie in this forum is a really crap thin g to be. Sorry again.
"Answer:- Yes completly bananas go and ask on a torrent forum there are plenty of them."
Oh dear, I really seem to have upset this fantastically above me forum. Well, I guess I should go stick my head in a gas oven and get my self out of the gene pool. So I'll finish watching The Banana Splits then get me a tube. I'm just sorry I invoked your anger on this. I will not be back. Sorry again for being such a dunce. Sorry. Wish I could spell completely like you though!
I am gone.

The problem, Moley, is that unless "The Banana Splits" is licensed for distribution by torrent (I doubt it), then the content is illegal, and discussion of illegal content in these forums gets you a mod on your case pretty quickly; discussion of torrents in general (bear in mind that these have legitimate uses for things like software distribution) I THINK is fine, but that's not what you're asking about.

Lighten up Moley I was only joking. If you had bothered to read any threads on these forums you will find everybody gets ribbed now and then it is not a direct attack on you. If you dont have a sense of humour you are not going to last long on any forum. Just relax and have some fun. As for torrents like I said there are plenty of forums for that activity.. Now if you had asked how do I unpack multiple rar files or which is the best free player for avi,xvid or divx in the appropriate forum without mentioning torrents you would have got a reply(I think thats okay). Come back join in you might even laugh a little Oh! and sorry for the spelling slip but we all do it. It is not through lack of education just I dont use a spellchecker before posting.
