I need your help again. I decided to give the ol\' BT thing a try... to no avail. I downloaded the client you suggested in the BT "what you need to know" thread... and then tried downloading the newest BT that was posted on here as a test run. (I think it\'s a Creek show? whatever, makes no difference) Anyhow, when I clicked on the .torrent file, here is what happened: 1. it asked me where I wanted to save it to; I chose a folder.   2. A netscape browser (blank) opened up.    3. It was saved in about 1 second, and when I looked for the file, it came up as PhotoParade. What the hell is PhotoParade!? what happened?! Computers... the bane of my existance...

yes, I installed it. Although rather incompetant I am not a complete and utter fool. :)   I just tried getting the Cambridge show, same thing happened. A new Netscape browser opened up (blank) and then when it asked me where I wanted to save it to, the file extension was .php   .... What the heck is .php?! I have no idea where this PhotoParade thing came from, but it doesn\'t seem to me like it should have anything to do with BitTorrent.... sorry for being such a pain in the neck, but I am missing out on a lot of good music that I would love to have...

if you have an apple computer you will have that problem.  i had that problem, and then had to use my friends pc, send myself the file then open it in BT.  so if you have an apple, it won\'t work.  If you have a pc then i am also lost.
