Which version of LW are you using?
If you followed my instructions, Locate File on Disk, the folder your downloaded file is in would open, the file would be highlighted & selected ready to open. That is of course, if you have in fact downloaded the file. Does it say AVI file in that folder after doing the Locate FIle on Disk option? Check the file size. What is the file size?

well hopefully lotr can give you some directions as to how to use LW as a torrent client...what you have at this moment, IMO, is just the torrent file...

what size is it?....~10KB?

the file you mentioned (which I edited out of your post..the LOTR edited again ) should be around 740MB and take anywhere from an hour (@200KB/s) to infinity to download....it will be dependent upon the speed you get from whatever sources you get connected to....

How did you get a hold of this .*** torrent file? Did you download it from a site (do NOT tell me which one, I already know) or did you download this torrent file via LW?

If via LW, it means you have in fact not actually downloaded the video file. Only the torrent to begin the video download. Those are starter torrents .. not sure of the correct name, perhaps Peerless can help there, but you open that file with your torrent program then it will download the file you are wishing.

I've seen plenty of .torrent files on gnutella, so my guess is that is where it came from...and therein lies this users confusion....
