Bittorent question...

[cpals]

Since someone posted the Alias show using bittorrent (sp), I figured I'd ask the question here.

Can I stop and restart the download where I left off? Or does it restart all over... The program doesn't seem to be very user-friendly.

Yea it supports resume. Bitorrent 3.2.1 I think is what I use.

Yep.

go packetseek!

Was this Electrode's link ? Damnit for some reason it won't initiate my BT client when I click on the .torrent link..

^^^ does that work for anyone using the Windows BT Client ? Link comes from the other Alias threads from today... so I'm sure he doesn't mind.

I'm getting Page Cannot Be Displayed

I saved the link to my hard drive. It renamed it though to xxxx.avi.avi and I just renamed it back to .avi.torrent

After that you "should" be able to double click it, not sure... I don't really know how I got it to work. 🙂

The filename ends in .avi, despite the fact that it says ".torrent." Change the filename from Alias - 2x21 - The Telling (tv rip).avi.torrent.avi to Alias - 2x21 - The Telling (tv rip).avi.torrent.

Works for me after doing that.

As I said once before, I think it's due to my web server not being configured to handle .torrent files. Since it doesn't recognize the file format and doesn't know what .torrent means, it sees the .avi in the filename and decides to return a MIME type of video/x-msvideo, which web browsers that don't know better will attempt to handle as an AVI file.

People like me shouldn't be allowed to run web servers. 😱

Posting torrent files are allowed in AT now??

Thanks! Finally... had to save target to HDD first... then rename to .torrrent. Double-click, and I'm off...

Alright, I added an entry to /etc/apache/mime.types, so it should work correctly now.
