Trouble downloading
« on: December 19, 2010, 01:05:32 am »
The FAQ isn't really helping, and I'm probably doing something wrong. When I try to bit torrent downloading an error happens. I don;t really understand bit torrent, and some help would be appreciated. Also, when I use a mirror, the page just reloads and nothing happens. Any help would be appreciated.

Do you have a bit torrent program like transmission? Basically you get the bit torrent file from the link on the PS download page and then go to your bit torrent program and open the file you got and it should start downloading.

Could you explain the whole bit torrent thing to me in a little more detail?

You probably want to read an article about it like http://lifehacker.com/285489/a-beginners-guide-to-bittorrent Wil do a better job than I can do in explaining it.

Yep. I also had the reload page through the mirror and had to download the torrent.

uTorrent is what you should use to open the torrent file with to download the game.. the torrent file is more or less like a link to the source that you download from, except it uses other torrent users (seeders and leaches) to download the file. more or less like a file sharing application.

i downloaded and  installed but the file psclient is giving me some problems.
