Thank you!
I miss my mac....
Now, I can hold a note for a long time...actually I can hold a note forever. But eventually that's just noise. It's the change we're listening for. The note coming after, and the one after that. That's what makes it music.

Got a question about technology? Ask it here. Discussion of hardware, software, TiVos, multi-region DVDs, Windows, Macs, LINUX, hand-helds, iPods, anything tech related. Better than any helpdesk!

Every now and then, I think I might actually be a little odd.
Anyone know anything about BitTorrent? I've dl'd a couple, uhm, documentaries, with no problem, but for the last one, although it says it's finished, I only have a folder with lots of little files in it - there's no completed product. Isn't it supposed to knit all those together automatically? What do I do?
Also, why is it that when I go to the website, there are lots of seeders and leechers listed, but when I go to dl, there are no peers in my list? How come I'm not connecting to the seeders that are clearly there? I can't figure out what I'm doing wrong, and this is frustrating.

Do the little files have suffixes like r01 and/or rar? If so, they are compressed RAR files and you need a utility like winrar to decompress and piece them all together. [link]

Yes, they do, Jon. I'll try that, thanks. I'm still baffled as to why it didn't do that automatically, though.
Also, great tag.

Zenkitty, IME, rar files don't automatically stitch themselves together.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

It expands into whatever the poster started from. That was their call.

It worked! Yay!
The other files I've downloaded with the same program did stitch themselves together. This one left me to my own, sadly inadequate, devices.
Anyone know the answer to the other vexing question, why I can't connect to the seeders who are clearly there?
I both love and hate technology. I need a live-in geek.

I warrant those were put up in one piece.

ita, right I believe. You can put files up in one piece or put them up in 72 pieces in a folder.

My friend recently bought a new iMac and an AirPort Extreme. He is able to connect wirelessly with the new iMac and his older G4. When he brings home his laptop from work (IBM ThinkPad that is set up for wireless), he isn't able to connect to the AirPort network. He says the PC sees it but he can't connect. Any ideas? (I plan to do the same set up in the near future so I'm curious for myself as well.)
