Unfortunately, this forum isn't exactly friendly to P2P associated questions so you
should seek out a forum that deals with Bit Torrent. WMP (Windows Media Player)
will play back complete media files but isn't designed as a viewer so I'm not sure
what you downloaded or if it is even complete which may be part of the problem.
You may benefit with some tools like this:
http://torrentspy.sourceforge.net/features.shtml
I for one don't use P2P of any type due to security and legal issues so can't help
much, but from what I understand, there can be many issues and we really don't help
with them in this forum due to the afore mentioned security and legal issues. Torrent
files can have any type of file in it or can have multiple types of different files
in them so they have a process of opening that is usually done by the torrent software.
I would have to see the file in question to know how to help but I would say there
are some issues involved which we can't see from a forum.. :-( Good Luck!
