<DIV>well firstly you need a way to play them</DIV>
<DIV>so if you haven't got winamp, get it www.winamp.com its free and its useful</DIV>
<DIV></DIV>
<DIV>then you need a plug-in so that winamp understands the filetype</DIV>
<DIV>which is where etree comes in[img]smileys/smiley17.gif[/img]</DIV>
<DIV></DIV>
<DIV>download this http://www.etree.org/shnamp.html</DIV>
<DIV></DIV>
<DIV>hope that helped a tiny bit, if not then you're destined to listen to lossy formats for the rest of your music loving life [img]smileys/smiley36.gif[/img]</DIV>

Hey guys,

I've never download a bit-torrent either and I keep trying but I get the error message "Problem connecting with the tracker". I'm using ABC Torrent 2.6.9 and I already have Winamp installed.

Any help appreciated...thanks!

<DIV>i'd suggest trying a different piece of software (but thats because i'm too lazy to solve problems)</DIV>
<DIV></DIV>
<DIV>i use azureus, and its never given me any probs </DIV>

I use ABC also. I find that some trackers are really slow to respond. I've never gotten that particular error, but I'm wondering if it's just a time out? Try again? Or see if there is a time out setting that you can bump up a bit(can't remember).
