Did the client actually say "Download finished"? Because what bittorrent does is that it first allocates the space for the file before starting to download. So you might have this 175MB file on your computer that actually contains nothing. So just leave the client open to download the file and only try to run the file after it says download is complete.

Yea, but do u have a way to run it, ie. Divx, or bsplayer, cause other wise it's like trying to play a music CD without a CD player. If you do have this, don;t yell at me and tell me that u already knew, cause some people don't, and u didn;t specify how computer literate you are. hope that helps... rAlF

Ummm what does allocating do? I mean I saw it in the bittorrent client but I didn't know what to do with it. Was I suppose to use that in some way? Becoz ok.... this is all I did. I downloaded the torrent from animesuki. Then I opened up bittorrent and started to download or whatever from that torrent. After about 8hours I believe it was finished and it even said click here if finished and it was green. Did I do anything wrong? Please reply thx.

What was green? If you tried to run the anime and the picture was green, then you need new codecs or even a new media player. Personally I use Windows Media Player and every codec under the sun, but the ffdshow codec (google it) should be good enough for just about everthing. If you mean the bittorrent client was green(??) then I don't have the slightest idea what you're talking about.
