Can't download torrent [link]

[Aargyle]

I'm having difficulty downloading torrent links, any ideas why?

I can download torrents fine, but I can't get the start point from AntsMarching, specifically.

As an example, here is the top seeded one currently. I click on the torrent link, and get to the DL page.

"Click here to download dmb2007-10-02.mk4.nbox+.flac16.torrent. (http://www.antsmarching.org/forum/attachment.php?attachmentid=43736)"

When I click on that (in XP), or right click and save as, it just sits there downloading. Eventually it will time out, I can't get any of them to save.

Again, my torrents are working fine, when I can start them.

Any help would be great, thanks!

it worked fine for me. what torrent software are you using?

He's probably behind a network that blocks the .torrent file extension. Download them elsewhere, then load them into the client. Most College networks work like this. They block the extension, but the ports are wide open.

You could also use Azureus magent links to open .torrent files.

Thanks! That is quite possible, I'm on a work machine on a campus.

The weird part is, I could get them fine off of Ants Marching about a month ago. They may have recently updated that on my end.

I also cannot get them off of dreaming tree, but I can get them off of bt.etree, which as far as I can tell are .torrent extensions as well. Any ideas why some spots but not others?

I'm using Utorrent, but downloaded azureus a week ago and have yet to try out. I'll give that a shot. Thanks!

OK, so I'm trying Azureus instead, and find I'm a noob. How do I use magnet to download the links, or is Magnet a subset? (I seem to be using Azureus Vuze).

Alternatively, where else would I get the links for the .torrent (or how else can I get around the .torrent extension block?)
