I am as new as one could be to messing around with torrents. I have Bitlord 0.56 and have just completed my 1st download, my only problem is how do I play it in my Movie player? It is in a bunch of 14.xx kb files when I selecvt the torrent and click "Open Directory" this seems to be the only way I can view anty of the files, and some wont even play.
Any help is greatly appreciated.:icon_thum

Hey man first download Winrar (www.rarlabs.com) & install it.
When you do, it will make a menu so when you right click on the files, there is an "Extract to" choice.
If the files are a pure video, (AVI or MPEG) you will most likely need a Codec Pack, Google for K-Lite Codec Pack and get the Full Edtiion.
However if you run into a BIN/CUE file let us know, thats a bit different.
Those are usually Super-Video-Discs(SVCD) or Video-Discs(VCD)
You will need to "mount" or load the CD Images (.ISO .BIN/.CUE) with a program such as Alcohol 120% (Google it or Torrent it)
Then it should be able to play in Windows Media Player as if it was a DVD.
Now if you want to Convert a VCD/SVCD to .AVI and Compress it or convert to DVD, thats a different story. Lets just get the video playing first
Hope i've helped
