Some help with torrents?
nemesis:
OK, I used search first. But I didn't seem to be able to find a tutorial, or anything that described the process well enough that I did not fear breaking my computer out of my ineptitude. So, if such a thing exists, please point me towards it and laugh at me. ;D
Basically, I know this. Find realiable torrent site. Read comments to make sure torrent does not equal TROJAN/FAKE. Find a key and use it to install.
As the file appears to be something called a .torrent, I know I am missing a step here. Surely there must be some kind of program necessary to open such a thing?
Also, how do you make sure the key you are using has not been used 3 times already?
If anyone is interested, this si the torrent I want to download: http://www.mininova.org/com/1201206. If someone had a link to a better, SecuROM free Freetime torrent, please do hand it over. xD
I'm sorry for my neediness, by the by. I'm just terrified of Massive Computer Death. Or, y'know, downloading a 930 MB file only to find it useless to me. Either one.
And again, I am also sorry if there is a tutorial/guide somewhere on the site. My search skills are not optimal at this point, need moar upgradez.
Kazzandra:
Download utorrent and install.
www.piratebay.org for the expansions you need.
Let the program utorrent manage your torrent files. http://www.utorrent.com/download.php
When it begins to seed...
Download Daemon Tools Lite. http://www.disc-tools.com/download/daemon Install.
Right click on icon in taskbar, virtual cdrom. Device, mount image. Point it to the torrent you just downloaded.
Now get the nocd crack for your latest expansion from www.gamecopyworld.com. Replace latest EP's .exe with the new exe. No Securom.
ETA: Huh. When I knew nothing about torrents, I just search engined around and figured it out. The hardest step was figuring out how to mount a .rar image. Sorry if this is too advanced. :D
witch:
There are lots of Newbie steps missed in Kazzandra's summary. Check for an online tutorial GameCopyWorld has some, or did last time I looked.
I agree utorrent is the best client.
If you use a router to connect to the net, portforward.com is the place to learn that side.
Please seed everything you download back to at least 100%. That's how you get to download, because others have done the same.
nemesis:
Thanks, both of you! That helps a lot. Stupid Nemesis may manage this yet. xD

If you're talking about that 3-times-max installation thing that's supposed to be used with the latest version of Securom in upcoming games, that doesn't exist in Free Time (and I'm pretty sure not in K&B or Ikea either). And well, since we're talking about ARRing here, no worries about Securom anyway. ;)
