Default Nothing I've tried has helped me "launch"... Help appreciated!

The last few times I downloaded files from LW, I had no problem playing them. Process was simple for a beginner like me, search, download, play/launch...

Today I finally found something I had been looking for in a bit torrent format (which I had used in the past with BS), and everything went perfectly, within five minutes all five files showed 100% download. I then went to "Library" and that's when the fun began... All the files appear in red and no matter what I have done in the last four hours, I still can't get them to play. I read and read and read some more here on the boards, and although I found posts with similar dilemmas, none of the solutions advised worked for me. Unless off couse I'm doing them wrong, which is quite possible...

The files only appear under "Saved Files" and not "Shared". I have tried everything but now I'm getting really frustrated... When I click "Launch" in "Library", I get a bit torrent window with an error message inside saying: "Rejected By Tracker: Torrent not Registered with this tracker".

Any suggestions at all would be much appreciated!

Thanks for your time in advance!

If a file's red, it means it's not being shared. To share it, right click on file & select 'Share File'. I think you might have to refresh your library to see the change.

If you want to make your shared & saved file locations the same, go to library > Saved Files > explore. This'll show you the location. Tools > options > sharing will show you the location of your shared files. Just change the location of one of them so the two are the same. 'Apply' to save changes

Sounds like to me they may have just downloaded the torrent and not the file. They will need a torrent app to download the file.
But I am not sure about that but the message they are getting sounds like it.
