BitTorrents (a how to really)

[nspurway]

I know OF BitTorrents, but never really used them. And now that several torrent bootlegs are avaliable I would like to know 2 things.
1. Where are ALL the torrents posted on this site (forum sites) (such as Coachella - apparently that's awesome and I can't find it)
2. HOW DO you WORK BitTorrent after downloading the software.

In this technological age, and me being a computer feak-ish, HOW can I not know how to work torrents, as the 2007 Sydney show will be a massive torrent too:D

thanks!

lifehacker to the rescue!

A beginner's guide to BitTorrent
"This is the guide you can send to your friend next time he gets that glassy look in his eyes when you mention BitTorrent and how quick and easy it makes downloading albums educational, public domain videos and other large files."

lol

Erm... that Vegoose torrent is not working. Something about 'no peers to connect to' and its 'checking for firewalls'
I use a Mac PS
HELP! hah

[futureproof]

I use mac too.
The best mac torrent program is TRANSMISSION (doesnt make your mac all slow n stuff like BITTORRENT).
Download that.
(assuming you did that).
If it says no peers, maybe no ones seeding.

And this is the Vegoose one you want...

yep, yep. i'm on a Mac and using Transmission.

for a long while it wasn't doing anything, but then it worked fine.

[nspurway]

Thankyou. What is seeding? (just on the side)

[nspurway]

When you download the file, what type of file is it and how do you play it?

[nspurway]

And I've been searching for the torrent of the Coachella show form 2006 which was supposedly posted on a forum somewhere by futureproof i think
can anyone FIND it?!

Another option that is easier is this: www.warez-bb.org

How do you play the .flac files? errrkkk this is getting odd:D

[SupaJooCGoomE]

you'll need to convert those .flac files to .wav files... and then if you want the .wav files to mp3s. I found this site and followed the instructions on there. I have Windows, but this is the OS X site.

It might be really tedious and somewhat time consuming if you have no clue how to change settings/preferences on programs. Give it a try.

[nspurway]

Thanks dude. I got it:D
I forgot that it was an audio file not a video file
MANY THNAKS!

Thanks babe, you're best.
Possibly... :-P

[nspurway]

Sounds tacky...HAHA

[piroteki]

yeah, i thought you knew how to play .flac on whatever program of your choice. you really should've just downloaded the the zips of the 320kbps rip from the links i put up in the actual bootleg thread...

would've saved you a hell of a lot of time. lol

[melkoret]

or just go get VLC player. that plays basically almost every file type ever.

just google "vlc" and click the first link then /download it baby

lol .. its totally true !

[piroteki]

yeah, but i don't like VLC so much for a main player. i use it to play weird formats and transcode and stuff, but that's about it...
