Can anyone help?

[MAQ]

Hi to all,

new to this as you'll probably see, just downloaded my first movie, terrent completed and saved to the preassigned destination folder.

Great, problem being that the file has the correct name, but the file type is just that, a FILE!!!!!!!!!!!!!

cant do anything with it, do i need some additional software to use this? have i done something wrong?

please help

thanks #

PS: Sorry if this is in the wrong section, please move if needed

try to play it in videolan http://www.videolan.org/vlc/
or
take a screen shot, and post it here

or in explorer, clik tools, folder options / view - unmark "hide extensions for known file types" then see if it gives you an extension.

also check at the site site you downloaded it from for comments on how to deal with it.

How about telling us what the files extension is?

ok really do thin i need a walkthrough onthis one. Im not a dunce, but there doesnt seem to be any information there.

i think ive done something wrong.

Think i might need to try again

Just tell me what the file extension is, then I can help you. You want someone to walk you through it but you haven't told us anything yet.

Also, what do you mean you need to try again? You mean re-download the file? Why do you think you would have different results?

it sounds like you have just downloaded the torrent file and not the data.

but yes answer skizo this would help.

skizo - he's saying the file has no extension, it's just a file

MAQ: How big is the file?

[nihility]

it probably has an extension, he just has windows set to hide them like 100% said

the torrent is Transformers_--_the_Movie,_avi,_English,_good_quality

the size is 695MB

screen shot to follow.

The reason i said try it again is that i altered the file name slightly, wasnt sure if this had caused the problem

Always check the torrent's description and info/NFO to know what exactly you're downloading...
