archive unknown format

[Rajiv]

Hello, Whenever I click on the link to download, it says C:/blah blah, The archive is either in unknown format or damaged. Please help

how about more info than blah blah blah.

I dont know what kind of file it is supposed to be, where you got it. Are you sure it has finished downloading?

[Rajiv]

I am trying to download .avi.torrent and .torrent movies. The blah blah stands for C./Document and Settings/user name/local settigs/Temporary Internet files

The .torrent file isn't an actual movie, its just a small file containing data that pertains to the actual films location (tracker) and other info about the file. As for the error you are getting, try changing the incoming folder on your client from temp. internet files to a folder on the root drive.
The only time I've seen this error was a long time ago when I was a BT noob and clicked on a .torrent file without having a client installed.

Also, there are times that IE screws up the way it handles torrent files in the temporary folder.....

If you already have a client installed, try saving the torrent to the hard drive, and opening it from there rather than opening it remotely.

Thanks guys, it was the third case. IE was the trouble. Saved on hard drive and then on.....
