Download Problem.... Help Needed

[dntburnpig]

I'm new to this whole downloading show experience. After following what ants told me I was able to start downloading a show, but when i went to play the audio file on my real player it says invalid metafile. Does this have a problem to do with my computer, the real player, or what i downloaded. And also, is it not working because I didn't wait for the entire show to download. I just downloaded some of it to see if the songs would work. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

you can't play shn's in real player. check the FAQ for how to play shn's on your computer

one more thing actually. when i try to convert a .shn file the first 4 of 5 worked and now one of them wont convert and it says Error reported by ShnDll32.dll: premature EOF on compressed stream. how do i fix that? Wait, I guess i have two questions. Before i stopped downloading a show and it did about 10 songs. If i go back to it and start to download the rest of the show will it start where i left off at? thanks in advance

I figured it wasnt worth it to go and re download that show or whatever i was supposed to do. i wasnt too nuts about that show so i moved on to another one. 12-30-96 seems to be a favorite among many so i went ahead and downloaded it and its pretty damn good
