and I downloaded BitTorrent. I downloaded some songs from the new Eminem CD. Now I hear I need some software to open up these files. Anybody have any suggestions of where to get this software??

I wouldn't suggest broadcasting the fact that you have downloaded something via a torrent as it is most definitely illegal.

Having said that... what is the extension of the song or file you are trying to open. ;)

Example: .exe, .mp3, .rar, .m4a, etc

Something of note... NEVER... NEVER... NEVER run a .exe file you downloaded from a torrent unless you are 100% sure of what it is.

Aren't bit torrents slightly legal, yes?

Bittorrenting is legal.

Bittorrenting copyrighted material is illegal.

Also, don't use bittorrent itself. Use utorrent.

srsly.

You can own a car legally but can't drive it 150 mph down the Interstate. Same rules apply to file sharing.

ease of use/uses less system resources/isn't made for noobs.

you can just unzip a .rar, right?
