Okay guys, I'm a torrent noob. I have just, for the first time, used Bit Torrent and downloaded something. It says it's completely downloaded but now I can't play it.
Where do I go from here?

It's a .AVI and it keeps trying to bring it up in Media Center. It plays the sound but not the actual video.

Yeah unfortunately I suck with any computer related technology and I didn't know if it was a problem with the torrent or the player.

hey tillius dont use Bittorrent
it will destroy your computer cuz there is this little part of it called "DNA", and it constantly sends data about where you go on the internets/what you donwload. thats bad
uTorrent ftw

Honestly I don't feel the need to download very many things. I just wanted to watch the first episode of season 3 of Dexter. i probably won't download anything else for awhile unless Californication leaks as well.

Californication has leaked.
I'll give you an invite to Demonoid if you want? Also get uTorrent 1.7.x not 1.8. Make sure to turn on encryption in the settings.

I'll do it, and I had no idea it had leaked.
Yeah, send me an invite please.

It looks like they have S02E01, but not episode 2, and it's poorly seeded, try mininova or something if it's slow.

Thanks.
EDIT: I went ahead and went Mininova. They have episode 2 as well.
