I would but hres why not

I am 56k

torrents use f*cking bin files and you can't preview your movies

so imagine downloadign a 1.5gig on 56k only to find out the sound is shit becaeu you can't preivew it

also I have to babysit it I have my modem set on auto dial when my ISP logs me out every 4 hrs I have to re clikc the link every 4 hrs at least with kazaa it will autodial and connect itself.

It's not really for you then is it.

Though you are actually wrong. A lot of movie torrents are now avi files, probably 75 % or more of the files I have downloaded recently.

The partials can be previewed as normal.

Just right click / open with. Then use VideoLan or AVIPreview. Doesn't work for all of them, probably the same proportion as when using K++.

Just start the download and see what it is.

yeah thanks JPaul but I know avi preview wont play it if its a AVI Ive tryed but I should try video lan

thanks

I could never get BT to download faster than 1.00 Kb/s...and im on broadband where i can get a steady 60Kb/s on a good KLite download
