Ok I have crappy internet at home so I cannot download the bit torrent file. I am Trying to get it at school, but for some reason it won't download! I see the link and click open and I want to save it to my two gig jump drive but it won't give my that option and it won't let me open any files! What's going on?? _________________ RastaCalavera

If you get yourself a VIP membership, you could download straight from one of our VIP servers, avoiding the need for the bit torrents.

Well does your computer at school have a torrent downloader like azureus or utorrent installed on it? If not, then that is needed to download the torrent file. You probably can't open the files since they are .rar files which needed to all be extracted at once using winrar...maybe that will solve your problem but if not let us know...as always, a vip membership is an alternative if you arent familiar with torrents. _________________ Xbox V1.6

Its unlikely your school would have a torrent downloader installed, thats probably why you're experiencing problems. Without the downloader, the PC doesn't understand what type of file it is or what it links to.
Due to various copyright laws etc, your school probably has no P2P or torrent applications of any sort.

I am thinking about VIP membership but as for now I have downloaded the utorrent soft ware onto the computer. Now if I put the .exe file of it onto my flash and bring it back to my computer at home...maybe i can unzip it there. There was mention of winrar, I used that program once and couldn't figure it out. Do i need it again for the AID? _________________ RastaCalavera

okay so lets see if i understand what you have done....you downloaded and installed utorrent on your school computer, right? If yes then find aid on a torrent site and open the small couple kb torrent file with utorrent which will start the 700mb file download....you can then take those .rar files and pop those on your jump drive and take them home....after installing winrar on your computer you can extract the files....yes winrar is needed but its honestly a pretty easy program...we can help when you get to that point.
If you are saying you downloaded utorrent and want to put it on your home computer then you are still going to have to download the 700 mb file which you didnt want to do in the first place....basically your options are
1. Become vip and download from an http server (like most things on the net)
2. Download and install a torrent program and download the file via torrent
3. Contact DJB and see if you can buy a disc off him
Either way you are going to have to download a 700 mb file which im guessing you dont want to do at home...so the question comes down to if you can do it at school or not _________________ Xbox V1.6
