The Thing <-- Help!

[Pliskin]

I have been looking for the movie "The Thing" for over a week now, so far I only found 1 file, but if I try to download it it goes so slow that Kazaa stops downloading it (I dunno why). Is there anyone who can help me, or perhaps somebody who can share the movie?

[thisiswhoweare]

i got it off emule. Check it out, theres more than one source too.

[Pliskin]

Were can I find this emule? I tried searching but I found 2 other movies not "The Thing"

[MetroStars]

Suprnova has it - u will get it in no time of there

[thisiswhoweare]

yeap metrostars is right. its there.

[Pliskin]

Yeah MetroStars is right and I downloaded the file called:
The Thing DivX WS Beefstew

but now I can&#39;t open the file I need the prog for it does anyone know the prog?

[thisiswhoweare]

bittorent is what you need. Check the Bittorrent subforum, its got stickies you need to read.

yeah ok thanks I donwloaded the software and I installed it but when I tried to run it an error menu came up (see below for the error message):

Error [06:38 PM]
Problem connecting to tracker - [10061, &#39;Connection refused&#39;]

What does this mean? And what must I do now?

[RGX]

leave it a while, youll get speed eventually

[Pliskin]

alright I&#39;m leaving it on but it says that it will take about 50 hours to complete and I can&#39;t let my computer on for 50 hours, so when I turn off my computer and turn it on again can I resume were I was last with the downloading?

[Pliskin]

well does anyone know the answer?

[thisiswhoweare]

Q has been asked a lot, a search may give you answers.

Goes something like you need the torrent file saved onto computer and to save to the same location each time...etc
Something along those lines.

Alright I&#39;m finished with the downloading (with TORRENT), now I&#39;m triyng to watch the movie but nothing happens instead of the movie an error shows up:

Windows Media Player cannot play the file. The file is either corrupt or the Player does not support the format you are trying to play.

so I tried opening it with DivX Player but another error showed up:

Failed to open file. Please check that this is a Valid AVI or MPEG-4 file.

What must I do now?

download the klite codec pack and use bsplayer to play. or download video lan and use that. both work great.

[Pliskin]

Does anyone know how I can change movie files into avi or MPEG-4 ?

[muchspl2]

http://www.videolan.org or as people have told you get the klite codec pack to play it in wmp
I prefer videolan as you don&#39;t need codecs

[Pliskin]

ok cool thanks all for the help&#33; :)
