and are you getting any error messages.
have you installed it? or is that the part that is giving you trouble?
have you run the updater?
do you have the latest graphics drivers?

Has the Crystal Blue download finished completely? What are you clicking, exactly, to run the finished downloaded file?

Do you meet the minimum requirements?

* 1 Ghz CPU
* 512 MB RAM
* 1 GB free disk space

The updater can be accessed after you have installed the game. It is found within your main PlaneShift directory, and also by clicking Start -> Programs -> PlaneShift Crystal Blue -> PlaneShift Updater.

Regarding graphics drivers: If you\'re using an nvidia card, download the latest drivers from nvidia.com. If you\'re using ATI, the recommended drivers are Omega (you can alternatively try ati.com). Basically find your card model, and download the drivers from the manufacturer\'s website. They\'re free updates :)

Make sure you\'re not clicking on the seeding torrent file... Do you save finished downloads to your desktop? Is the file you are clicking labeled \"PlaneShift_CBV0.3.011.exe\"?

mmm hey, change your face :)

Well, I guess you mean download, since you can keep the torrent and uploading parts of it as long as you want.
Normally, when you clicked the torrent, the client poped up catching it, well; at that moment, either you\'re told of where you want to save the file, or it\'s automatically stored in a predefined default folder. If you don\'t remember what folder is that, you can always try to use the search function of Windows, you should look for PlaneShift_CBV0.3.011.exe.
From your post, still I don\'t see if you really got the file.
In case you\'ve got it:
Double clicking on it should begin the installation. BitTorrent is _not_ the one installing the game, bittorrent only downloads the file to your computer. That file _is_ the self instalable.
So when you double click on the file PlaneShift_CBV0.3.011.exe, the installation should begin, and you can install it as you install any other application or game, so I guess no problems there.
Once you complete your installation, go to start-programs-planeshift and select planeshift updater (recovery mode) it will launch the updater and begin automatically to search for updated files, launching it this way, will make it easier for you to provide eventual feedback if you feel something isn\'t going as it should.

245,856,434 This is the size the file is supposed to have. Try checking it out right clicking on it and selecting properties.

There is also this application http://www.planeshift.it/download/md5sum.exe
that if you use on an msdos window and choice the file to examine, PlaneShift_CBV0.3.011.exe in this case, should return you some numbers.
Try putting both files in C:\\ for an easy acces. Then open the \"msdos\" window and go to c:\\
then type md5sum PlaneShift_CBV0.3.011.exe that should return you the numbers I guess.
Try to see if the numbers are: fc36e88c174f44f7540f130782afcfbb
(well yes, they aren\'t numbers. It\'s alphanumerichal :D)
