Torrent help please

Unread post by momentfroze111 » Mon Nov 06, 2006 1:03 pm

I am trying to download "Big man on campus" and it is a Torrent file. I downloaded the torrent client (Big Torrent). Then I downloaded the file from dreamingtree.org. I then clicked and dragged the ".torrent" file into the Big Torrent program window where it downloaded for about 6 hours. Once the file is done downloading it does nothing. This is where I don't know what to do.....Help please.....I want to listen to this show so bad.

If your dl s at 100%, you just need to find out where the torrent client saved the file.

I use MAC. The download is 100% and is named as dm1992-09-11.shnf (saved to my desktop). I cant seem to figure out how to play the files.

I have the dm1992-09-11.shnf on my Mac desktop. Can anyone that knows Mac tell me how to convert the file to a format that will allow me to listen to this show.....I know it can't be that hard. I try to drag the Shnf file into the Itunes library, its lets me, then the file doesn't show up. Help! Im frustrated! :shock: :shock:

download a program called xACT, that will let you decode them to .wav and then you can put them into itunes and make them mp3's if you want
