Right, I downloaded an ep of Buffy (:rolleyes:) from this site and the frigging file won't open. I'm on XP and have tried all my different media players
QT 7.0.3
Mediaplayer 10
Divx player 6.1
AVI Movie Player 4.8.
I've no probs with other files, just this one and it's driving me nuts. I mailed the owner and he just said it's a Divx file. I deleted it and downloaded it agagin in case it got corrupted or something, no joy.

Can anyone explain why it won't work?

Note, downloading is VERY slow!

Does Gspot give you any info about it?

If VideoLAN and Gspot both can't open it, it's probably corrupt.
