I'm not sure I'd be as harsh as 'banning' but Playmaker7, these are stupid questions and not FOF related questions.. research this yourself on google.

Search for something like:

'Torrent wikipedia'.

For now download the *many* rar files available on this site, extract them to the songs folder and go from there.
My custom songs can now be found in the one place:-Homerrulz Song Thread

i'm guessing you don't know how to use a torrent file, in which case, don't use them

before you go **** up your computer STOP. and listen a second. a torrent file is not the actual data you was trying to download. a torrent file is a way of telling your torrent program where to look to download the data you want.
The way it works is....you go to a website and it says something like " download 500 songs for FoF" so you click that link, ( its file size is tiny ) once that file is downloaded you start your torrent program and open your downloaded torrent file in your torrent program. Your torrent programm will now go off and connect to loads of people who all have " the 500 songs.rar/.zip " That is the actual data you are trying to download. once that has finished downloading you now have the zip/rar file you wanted. just extract that zip/rar file and you will have all the songs you wanted.

Its kinda like walking into a tiny shop that sells maps, you get a map to find the Megamall where you can go buy anything you want. the tiny shop is the web site , the map is the little torrent file you downloaded and the megamall is all the people on the net that are sharing the file you want.


and just a tip dont use utorrent, bit torrent or any other torrent program that actually has the name torrent in it, they all seem to be crap, one of the best ive seen is called AZUREUS, its very easy to use, so simple in fact my 50`ish dad who is crap on computers managed to figure it out
