Question about downloading shows
« on: September 11, 2011, 06:36:00 PM »
Alright, so I'm a total noob when it comes to bootlegs, and I've been spending the last couple of hours trying to download some shows. Just to get things started I looked at trialoftears.net. I tried to download the first torrent I came across (Acoustic at the Electric Factory Philadelphia PA). It downloaded, but I have no idea what to do now. Do I have to unarchive it? If so, how do I do this? I'm just a lost, inexperienced, fanatical DT fan who can't get the shows he wants. Please help.

Thanks
Oh seneca, how you've warmed my heart this evening.

Right, so I'm guessing you downloaded the torrent file, loaded it into a torrent client and then downloaded the bottleg itself?

If so you should have a list of .flac files wherever you downloaded it, to open these you need to use a program like VLC Player.

If you just downloaded the torrent file and did nothing else, you first need to load it into a torrent client like uTorrent. Then, do the above.
