I'm probably doing something wrong, but i downloaded a couple of the cxdxg arashi files and get sound but no image. Gspot says i need to get the h.264 codec or x264 codec but i cant seem to find a place to download them from and anything i download seems to not work. cry

What do i do?

^Did you try ffdshow codec? That seems to work for most people.
The easiest way is to play the video in VLC Player. It plays almost anything, without having to dl new codecs. VLC Player -->

µTorrent is good.
Torrent is peer-to-peer, your download speed depends on upload speed of uploader. And thus depending on seeders, your download speed may be very very slow or pretty good - or nothing. Just don't be greedy and remember to seed also after downloading.
You don't really need to know ports and such unless µTorrent doesn't work at all.

its a download manager that can also handle torrents. For me, this program is much easier big grin

After you download and install the program, go and dowload the torrent file you want. Then in flashget, click on "Jobs" and then choose "Open torrent" and locate the torrent file... and thats it! Sorry if i'm not clear, i don't have the program open right now cuz i'm at work but if you have questions, let me know smile

sorry it's me again..
for codecs..how do i know whether i have/don't have a spesific codec??is it when you can't play the file and the media player said that "i dont have the codec or the file corrupted"

Then download a player or/and update codecs.
For example BSPlayer is free (search version 1.37 if you don't want adware).[/quote]

Is that codec compatible with windows media player 11 or media player classic??im using those two right now..

You download the subtitles. It's totally up to you where on the video you put them..

Bittorrent is just ONE of the torrent programs. It ain't one of the best ones if you ask me. I like µTorrent better.

You know you are missing a codec if you cannot play a certain file. If you cannot play, for example, files encoded with x264, you're missing that codec. When you update your codecs remove the old one. That is, if you have installed some packet of codecs remove it first before installing new packet. If a player is in general able to play the certain format (like rmvb), then you can play it when you have codec. At least Media Player Classic supports rmvb etc formats.

I'm sorry if you're getting this message again.. bu I wasn't sure the last one got through...
I've downloaded all 4 parts of yoiko no mikata ep 3 from wii upload, but somehow each one came with differents sizes (102.399 KB, 102.368KB and 102.396 KB) I know the difference is small but since I couldn't join it, I tought this might be the problem... thanks for the help and the dramas big grin

^ They should be the same, exactly the same - at least all the other parts except last, which can be smaller size.

But then what should I do?I mean is there a way I can change the sizes?? I'm sorry to trouble you with this but it takes a LOT of time to download episodes so if there anything I can do so I won't have to download the whole thing again please tell me....
Thanks a Lot big grin

^ You have no choice but to download the second file again. And third later if the file is still not complete after joining the parts.
