What are headers and how can they be broken?!?

Hai, I'm not a dummie but how can I prevent downloads from Bittorrent to have Broken headers?

All those wasted bandwith, all this wasted download time! all for a useless file?

How come these programs are so popular?

anyone?

Pleaze,...this is a serious question,...does nobody know? I don't believe it.

Also: when I want to decompress stuff I get an error stating there's been used an 'unknown method' And the damn stuff is there, I mean: it's like hundreds of MB's big,...

Can nobody answer? This thread has been viewed 36 times already,...and no answer,....wft you know!?!

Perhaps they don't know the answer just as I don't but I googled your question, which is what you should do also and found this link concerning questions like yours.

Don't really understand the question. If the tracker is down, then you cannot download. Of course tracker free torrents will come within shortly (or maybe they have allready arrived (i believe that Azersus (how that is spelled) should allready support it))

But if the problem lies when you have downloaded the file then it no longer is due to the torrent file. Most files that needs to be decompressed are in *.rar i suppose (www.rarlabs.com (i think)).
if it is a movie then what kind of codec(s) (compression/decompression) do you have? Id suggest downloading VLC, it supports just about everything.

but back to the torrent question, if the tracker is down then all you can do is to report it. I reckon that this is what you meant.
