Homer it sounds like ur problem is codec one. Unless the file is corrupted. figure out what format the file is and make sure u download all of it.

Damn dude. what u have there is not a file. u need to download and install applications like Bittorent or bitlord or even Azureus. then double click on that little file u got now. Then ur download will start with whatever program u installed.

homer, I would say forget about bittorrent stuff unless u r into computers. Your computer and your Internet conenction will be shared by many strangers if u run those applications.

I would say, forget it unless the media file is standard and can be watched with a browser or media players like real/windows.

One more thing, use a good firewall if u donwload stuff from the net. At least it will tell u which application wants to connect tot the net and where it is going. One free one is zone alarm from zonelabs.com
