36 is the number of seeders. (3831) is the number of peers. Divide the number of peers by the number of seeders to work out how many people are leeching (which means connecting to each of the available seeders)

I like that I'm making you work here Laughing

I've learnt my round which torrents to go for now but I still occasionally get the odd scammer come through. DBcodec seems to be a popular one at the moment, the file starts to play then just shows a message about getting this codec followed by automatically opening a browser to the site where you can hand over your payment details for a brand new codec, or virus as I suspect Rolling Eyes

dbcodec is a trojan.

You can google it for more info. NEVER EVER pay for a codec. You simply don't need to as they are widely available and always free.

All you will ever need to watch a genuine file on your PC (but not necessarily also your standalone DVD player) is this:

and this:

Feel free to ask any questions. I've been doing this a long time and for a little while was even running a little "business" selling movies, PC games and Xbox games ;-)

A great reference site is here:

OMG OMG OMG OMG OMG OMG OMG Shocked

This little baby really is the Dogs Bollocks, The Bees Knees, The Cat's Meow & the Jam in the Doughnut! cheers

I've downloaded SOOOOOOOO much stuff! It really does have EVERYTHING! Seriously, this little baby has yet to let me down when it comes to finding a film or programme. I've even found stuff that I can't find in shops. I've found stuff that's not available on DVD. I've found stuff which is older than me!!! Shocked

Let's see how good it is with games.........
