Does anyone know anything about Bit Torrent and Win Amp?

[Redneck Socialist]

I tried to download a show (twice) and when I try and play it nothing happens. The name of the file appears in Win Amp but the file size is listed as 0.00. I've tried to convert the shn files to wav files and I get a "no magic number" error message.

Please help.

1. Check the size of the actual file itself

You may not have the whole file. Otherwise, try another media player. .Shn is not a common file format afaIk. And Winamp is not known for being a great movie player to begin with. DivX player will play just about anything I've found.

7. WinAmp 5.0 is...

...pretty good at showing Videos (well to me it looks good anyway)

2. Winamp plays audio files, Mp3's and WAV's in a playlist format

I don't know what kind of "show" you downloaded.

I've tried to figure out what Bit Torrent is about but every time I end up scratching my head. It's very confusing.

To be more specific about Win Amp, it's a program , a player that you open and listen to audio files with.

I hope there is some info there that can help you.

For Bit Torrent help here is a pretty deep FAQ.

4. Thanks

I guess I should have stuck with trading tapes. At least I understood that technology. :mad: :argh: I can't figure out what I am doing wrong.

5. What do you trade?

I've got a friend who is a pretty big trader of 60's garage rock.

6. I used to trade Dead shows (what else)

but I got rid of my tapes a few years back. I got the hankerin' to rebuild my collection and discovered this bit torrent thing, but I'm having trouble figuring it out.
