Go to folder options and make it show the extension of your files.

.torrent files aren't that big. A single episode torrent would be a few kilobytes. I think Assassin must be right. Although I assumed all torrent clients kept intermediate files with different file name extension, like "!ut" for utorrent, until they are finished. But maybe some clients don't.
Usually a 25 min episode would be around 200 MB, so it must not be fully downloaded, but I was sure it was fully downloaded, so I'll try again.
Extension is .avi; on the main site the link to download it is [AonE]_Naruto_151_[E57B748F].avi, sorry didn't realize this.
I use BitTorrent to download episodes, the latest version since I last checked onto bittorent.com.
By the way, I've heard that making your starting port the same as the host you're downloading from makes your downloads really fast. Just verifying if this is true; if it is, then what's the port for downloads from the main site?
Also, does changing your upload speed affect download speed?
At the time I post this, time remaining to finish download is 2 hours, which keeps changing as the speed keeps changing too. And the file is now 11 MB.
Sounds like a totally fabricated tale. And besides, more often than not you are downloading from more than one peer, and chances are they won't all have the same port in use. Ever. That being said, you aren't downloading from a host but from peers, if you use torrents.Originally Posted by Snipes
So they always say, and according to my experience it's mostly true. Some really well seeded torrents produce high speeds with practically no upload, but that's mainly because there aren't many leechers downloading, only seeders.
Personally I get frustrated and annoyed if I only get high download without equally high upload (or higher preferably). I hate to keep the torrents running forever after getting the download home. I prefer to have a good ratio already right when the thing is finished downloading.
All right the episode works. Thanks to all the people that helped me. Now I gotta download the 126-151 pack >_>. 14 days remaining *sigh*.
To Kraco, if he ever reads this post - So which is better: higher or lower maximum upload rate (try to tell me referring to the BitTorrent interface, since that's what I use)?
One more thing. My connection is DSL, and my connection speed is 10.0 mbps (I assume MB per second). According to the upload adjustment bar on the interface of BitTorrent, OC3 upload rate is 7.8 MB/s. And since my speed is 10 mbps, does that mean I have a faster connection than OC3, which is only at 7.8?
The whole idea of torrents depends on sharing, that is, uploading, so keep it as high as you can. Just not so high that it'd prevent you from surfing and viewing images and such. Over 80% of your theoretical max won't probably be ever wise.
Don't mix bits and bytes. Theoretical connection speeds are always told in bits, or rather kilobits or megabits (kbps, mbps). However, one byte is eight bits, so you need to divide the speed by eight to get the actual practical speed, kilobytes per second, kB/s, or megabytes per second MB/s. These units are used in programs to tell the speed, not bits per second. DSL 10 would be 1.25 MB/s (I used to have 10/10 VDSL... Oh, those sweet times... Now I have 2/2.)
Thanks for the help Kraco. No need to respond to this.
