BitTorrents, I need some help if possible.

[Fallon Piper]

Well let me put it this way, I have been trying to find this game that has been around for some time now. But the only place so far that I have looked where I could download it on the net for play is through Bit Torrents, I have very little idea about them for one.

I downloaded the client U Torrent, so I could down load the game. And so far I have downloaded several that said they were the complete game, and well...I can't very well tell if they aren't full games or weather I just have no clue as to what I am doing.

The files of the latest DL are these.

BIN File

System Information File

RAR File

CUE Image File

DOCX File

I have no slagging idea, I'm about to say heck with it and boot the torrent prog from my pc and DL Ares and see if I have better luck there. I hate torrents...:roll:

For most games, you need software like magicISO or something. Try reading the download notes for it.

[Xavier Uncia]

Hmm, its been 8 hours, don't know if you still need help or not...

Have you mounted the .Bin file using PowerISO or another software that creates Virtual Drive's?

[kcoar]

I personally prefwer magic ISO. I just started using these kinds of programs, so I'm very new to it

[Xavier Uncia]

It all comes down to personal preference in the end.

MagicISO and PowerISO both do the same thing, the only difference I can find is that Power runs .daa files. Not really a deal unless you deal in that format a great deal. Magic has a simpler menu and easier to use converter.
So I keep both around. :D

A Basic Pirating Tool Kit:

1) BitLord (Or any other .torrent client)
2) PowerISO/MagicISO (A Virtual Drive Manager)
3) WinRAR (Wonderful for almost any compressed file)
4) A Good File Scanner (For all those nasty viruses and such)
5) A site-> Good ones: (http://www.isohunt.com (http://www.isohunt.com/)) and (http://www.piratebay.org (http://www.piratebay.org/))
6) ???
7) Profit

Thanks every one, I am trying to figure it all out. The recommendations of programs and so on is very helpful, I think I will eventually figure it out. Apparently with the game/games I am wanting, I needed a program called Daemon Tools. So I picked up Daemon Tools Lite which is a virtual drive, I also snagged FrostWire for my client etc. Been to Pirate Bay, and am finding what I am wanting there. So I just need a good scanner and a WinRAR program, I guess from there it will be trial and error and getting to know these programs etc.

Suppose it all comes down to reading, experimenting and learning, I find it fascinating.

I was going to suggest Daemon Tools Lite. Very simple and easy to use.

Also, if you want a good torrent site, www.torrentportal.com is a triumph. (Yes, I know that Portal joke is older than dirt now. Deal with it.)

daemon tools is BAD! it installs spam on your pc. a better bet would be to get something that doesn't. just note though that although very convenient through torrents it is illegal to download these cd image softwares which often have a simple key to activate >.>. also docx is not an image as far as i know. it's office 2007's annoying change to word documents.

Wow thanks every one, I have experimented with all these things and in the future I may toy around with it and it might click. But I have decided to not bother, I can't get the knack of it down and I am not the type to be able to wait for long while figuring out some thing. It seems that it is kinda in depth and a thing to learn, so I am just going to buy the damn thing lol. A lot less trouble, and less stress on me as I already have enough without loosing sleep trying to learn this trade.

I want to really thank you all though.
