Bootlegs, Torrents, Download. Its all Jargon!

MegaEBoy · 22-12-2010, 06:34 PM

I am new to all this Torrents and Bootlegs websites, and have just recently attempted (and failed, as I got instead a screen saver of radiohead :/) to download a torrent of Muse at Wembley 2010 and followed the WikiHow and I ended up with the previously mentioned screensaver.

Somebody PLEASE help me

It's not so complicated really.
What exactly do you need to know? How much don't you know?

LyraSilvertongue · 22-12-2010, 07:59 PM

Ok, assuming you know nothing. To get the Wembley DVD, go to http://torrents.musebootlegs.com/. Sign in, go to 'browse torrents'. Click on the Wembley listing, then on the bit where it says download.
You'll need bittorrent, utorrent or something similar. if you're on a Mac, try Transmission.
Double click on the torrent and click 'add' or whatever comes up in the box to continue. Your download should start automatically.
Any help?

Yeah, I pretty much know nothing, well, I say pretty much, i mean absolutely. yeah i think it helped, am trying to download it your way

thanks.

the other problem was, I downloaded it before, but had nothing to actually run it on my Mac, which probably doesnt help, but I have no idea waht to run it on.

Thanks

I'm on a mac too so if you need any other mac-related help, I'll see what I can do.

MegaEBoy · 22-12-2010, 08:45 PM

so how do i actually get them to work on the computer?

MegaEBoy · 22-12-2010, 08:49 PM

or is that what Transmissions does?

LyraSilvertongue · 22-12-2010, 08:54 PM

You need to download Transmission. This is what will actually download the gig for you.
Then, open the torrent and 'add' it to Transmission. Your download should start automatically.
Have you downloaded the torrent?

yeah, its just started downloading, I wasnt expecting it to take just over 2 days though, that is a surprise! although, from what I hear, it's worth it.

Depends on your connection speed. When mine started downloading, it said it would take 8 days at one point. in the end it was more like 18 hours.

MegaEBoy · 22-12-2010, 09:06 PM

yeah, its now like 4hours, do you know if it'll work when the Mac is on sleep? cos it's getting kinda' late

Just leave it on overnight. The screen will go black but it will keep downloading.
It will probably be done by the morning.

MegaEBoy · 22-12-2010, 09:17 PM

i was going mental trying to figure out how to do this

It takes over 2 days to me too but I don't know if it's worth it..
I've downloaded it some days ago but it didn't look too good to me, plus I got troubles with the audio.
I don't know if it was just me...anyone else saw the video?
