FLAC txt format????

So I downloaded a couple shows, when they were complete all that showed up was a 'txt' file, no physical songs. What am I doing wrong? Please help!

    Are you talking about the .tor file?

    Yes! So once the download was complete i couldnt convert any songs because there were no actual songs to convert. Catch my drift?

    Yea, I follow you. The .tor file is really only a directional tool for a torrent program.

    So you need to download a torrent program, like uTorrent and install it.

    Once you've done that, open the .tor file with the torrent program. That will start the downloading of the songs.

    Yes I already have that. Once it has completed the uTorrent download it just brings up a txt file with now songs. Ive had the same problem with FLAC downloads before. Some work, some dont.

    Now you've lost me.


    So you opened the .tor file with uTorrent, directed it where to download the files, and it downloaded about a GB or so of data?

    What do you mean "it just brings up a txt file"? What just brings up a txt file?

    Okay so i clicked the link from ants marching and and now its starting to dowload in uTorrent. Okay so now the torrent has fully completed its download in uTorrent. YAY. Alright so usually I search in my finder (I have a mac) for the torrent and I see all the seperate songs. Then I add em to my itunes library. HOWEVER, in this case when I go to my finder to look for the dowloaded torrent all I see is a 'txt' file with the name "dmb2014-07-18". There are no actual songs but almost like a notepad document that basically just says the songs on and a bunch of gibberish. I tried multiple different shows but I keep getting the same shit. You follow me know?

    Yea, I think I'm with you.


    I don't know much about Macs, but we'll see if we can't figure this out. Perhaps for some reason, it's putting files somewhere else. In uTorrent (do the Mac equivalent of a) right click on the torrent and click "Open Containing Folder" and let me know what's in there.

    If only the .txt file is there the only other thing I can think of is that maybe in uTorrent, when you start the torrent, it's defaulting to not selecting the .flac files for download. Remove the torrent and download it again. When it opens in uTorrent, and the box pops up to ask you where you want the files to be downloaded, make sure all the .flac files have a check mark next to them.
