I downloaded a MacGyver TV movie from a larger MacGyver torrent that's like 40 GB

anyway, it said that it was done, so i closed it out

but the movie won't open or play for me

I'm using bittornado

anyone know what I can do to remedy this?

get a legal copy
or install the right codecs

Is the file actually 40GB or however big it should be?

Try this though... delete the .torrent file from your bit torrent app, reopen the .torrent file, then choose for the download directory the same place where your file is.

Bit torrent should detect that you have the file, re-do a hash check, and then download any missing or bad pieces.

a legal copy of MacGyver? haha what about Threes Company?

well pretty much any MacGyver I download is legal, because I own all the available DVDs

as for the made-for-TV movies, I figure these are legal because they're not available on vhs or dvd, and probably never will be, so it's like I taped it off TV and didn't show it in public or something

^Hey, I actually used to watch that.

you've watched enough MacGyver... you should be able to figure this out with a rubber band an a paperclip

[Edited on March 27, 2006 at 11:35 AM. Reason : but really tho... what type of file is it you downloaded? cuz your player may not play it]

MAYBE YOU SHOULD UPLOAD MORE RAM

it's an .avi

it said it was completed, so I don't know what the problem is

I thought I had all available working codecs

try vlc media player

3/27/2006 1:06:33 PM

yea definitely VLC plays jes about every type of video no problem...i was gonna sound like the smart one but someone beat me to it haha

install Zoom Player (you don't have to use it, but the first time you run it, it will tell you all the formats your computer does not have the codecs for and give you links to download them)
