Another dumb question for you guys. Im currently downloading a movie with Utorrent. My question is do I need any type of media player to view the movie? With music I downloaded I just right click on the music and select open and it plays back the music, same with movie or not? Thanks in advance.....

Either GOM or VLC players should play what you are downloading.

What type of file is the uTorrent?

GOM or VLC- do I have to install one of these? As for the type of file. All it says is TS.DIVX.LTT at the end of the file is this the type of file, I have no idea.
As you may have noticed I no sweet FA about anything to do with Computers but appreciate help from you guys to learn abit more.

When Istarted downloading movies, if I remember rightly after the download there appeared on my screen a message telling me I would need to download VLC to watch the movie. Its free and should only take a few minutes to download.

Bear what are the last three letters in the file - is it .avi?

And yes, you will need to download either of those players.

Hi

Ive been reading this thread with interest... Ive even downloaded the codecs.. being new to this could someone tell me a good website to download movies?? Good if its afree site too!!!!

I use ARES ULTRA But some videos take hours to download.depends how many "seeds" online.Seems early morning best time to download'There is Limewire,but careful .Many virus come with videos

Dave, First you will need the software to download the movies etc. Try utorrent or bittorrent, much the same. Once you have installed it have a look at sites such a http://www.mininova.org or http://thepiratebay.org/ where you actually obtain the movies.
All free.
Its a bit of trial and error to begin with but if you need a hand, phone or pm me.

I use isohunt and utorrent. Other more knowlegable users may have something better

Thanks for the info, ive downloaded utorrent and gone to mininova and started to download death race. i will see in about 15 hours how it did!!!!

Thanks again i will keep you posted

Thanks for the help guys my movie is done and Ive downloaded free codecs, works perfectly. Cheers....

If it's helpful, I've recently downloaded and installed VLC Media Player, (upon the recommendation of one of the Forum's Computer experts) which plays many different media formats.
