traceur is flying high
Default Not sure if this is the right forum but...

Right now Im currently downloading a movie (*******), and whenever I try to preview this movie my windows media player comes up but then it says "Windows Media Player cannot play the file. The Player might not support the file type or might not support the codec that was used to compress the file." can some one tell me what to do? thanks for the help!

Download the free VLC player. It has built-in codecs and plays almost all media files without problem...:

To preview a file with it you have to choose it directly out of the Incomplete folder. Go there and right click the file. Choose "Open with.." then choos the VLC player.
If it can't play the file then it is most likely a faked file....
