Technical problems with THE HORROR: downloading, installing, and running it
SciBirg:
Yes, I agree, they do sound kind of fishy...
Rockermonkey:
With the link I posted I'm already at 99.1% and it's been a half hour. Is that strange? there are 40 seeders and 10 peers. It has pretty normally named rars. But I was wondering is this one of the ones that had the supposed virus if that one even existed?

@snowluv: I went to your torrent site and found the one you downloaded. It's supposed to be in a zip folder. You may want to go back to the site and read the comments. It looks like the installation is a bit different than what I and others have been working with, which is why your files look so different. More than one person couldn't figure out how to install, but they have instructions (more or less) over there.
Well, enough procrastinating for me. I need to get back to work ;-)

This does not sound right. The game is 5 Gb in size (give or take a byte or two). It is inconceivable that it would download in half an hour with only 40 seeders. You may have a promo or a "just the crack and keygen" file or something of that nature.

Thanks,everyone. I hit the TPTB.exe and it is a self-extracting file. Everything is now in My Documents in it's own folder. And little wonder I have been bugging you with the wrong questions. I should have realized why I was so confused. I was trying to make sense out of two very different types of downloads that each have their own instructions for installation. Good Grief. I will let you all know how it goes . After all of this Sims3 had better be worth it!! ::)
