gogo Posted October 1, 2005 Share Posted October 1, 2005 Hi Peter, welcome to VC! The first three subforums in In A Future Age are message forums, you should be able to look at those. Everything below that redirects you to bt.viachicago.org, which is a separate board, requiring a separate log-in (most people just register over there with the same username you use here).

Lazy Locomotive Posted November 11, 2005 Share Posted November 11, 2005 Hello! New to Site, love it...I can not seem to download off In a Future Age. Does it require a certain type of software? When I try to download it, nothing happens. I have RealPlayer. I just need some Dummie instructions of how it works.Much thanks.Daniel Quote Link to post Share on other sites
gogo Posted November 11, 2005 Share Posted November 11, 2005 There are lots of links to FAQs, etc., in the BitTorrent 101 thread. In particular, check out this tutorial. That'll go into a little more detail, but the process basically consists of:download a BitTorrent program;right-click and save the *.torrent file for the show that you want to download (additional suggestion: create a BT folder on your desktop, so you'll be able to find these files easily if you ever want to re-open them);open the *.torrent file with the BT program that you've already downloaded (again, you'll probably want to save the download in a folder that you'll easily be able to locate later);let the file run until you've got the entire show downloaded; then keep it running until you've uploaded as much as you've downloaded (ratio = 1.0);when you've got the whole show, figure out how you want to listen to it (through your computer, on a CD, etc.); depending on what you want to do with it, you may or may not need to convert the files (check back to the BT 101 thread for info on how to do that).Hope that helps!

gogo Posted November 15, 2005 Share Posted November 15, 2005 Hi Donna! I'm pretty sure most people around here just think of me as a big frickin' know-it-all. How many of those does the world need? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
