normally these versions are made up by somebody on the torrent sites, they are not 'offiical' builds of xbmc, poaple add scripts etc to them, they wont be supported by the xbmc team. i spect this is one of them.

the only verions that are, are the ones compilied and released by T3CH.

xbox-sky foe example has a few people that release soupped up versions that include more scripts etc.

as for the torrent downloader... have you looked in the scripts directory for a readme file? might tell you more.

didnt really look into that yet, i downloaded it kinda late last night and FTP'd it real quick and only messed w/ it for a few minutes! i'll check it out when i get home from work tonight. and your right, this prob. isn't an 'official' version......

 

[Littlemiss]

I tried this

I booted into my normal XBMC and download the XBox Sky torrent browser
It Installed but I Get a connection timeout error

The scripts runs ok but will not connect
Maybe XBox-sky is having a problem?

i think torrentbrowser is better than xbox-sky.....

try that one...it pulls files from torrentspy.com...

i get some kind of socket error???? i dunno, im lost...plus im at work now, so im working off memory

 

[Littlemiss]

Yea I don't see the other one for download in XBMC
I guess I will have to do it manually

 

[Littlemiss]

Ok I found a script called torrent browser 3 the remarks said that it download from the place you posted

It runs ok but all download attempts for me end with unable to save torrent download.torrent error

I am going to look at my firewall logs and see if it maybe trying to connect with a port I do not have open right now

ok so wait, its really absolutely pointless to use this script then.....cuz all u are downloading is the .torrent file.....you'll still have to send it to your PC to download the actual file?? i was hoping you could just download and use file....

 

[Littlemiss]

I was hoping so to
Unless someones knows of something else to try?

 

[r3lik1]

well that sucks!!! honestly i think it was a waste of time to write this script!!! i was all excited, just to be let down!!! hahaha

honestly, it would b more work to use that script than just doing it all on your PC....

Download .torrent on XBMC, FTP into your xbox, copy file from xbox to PC, run bittorrent program, then once the files is done downloading, FTP back into your xbox, copy file(s) from PC to xbox.....pointless

 

[beamer_nkh]

there is a torrent script to get the target file ... bitbox or something like that... I got it on my box (not here right now) but I can't get it to work probably ogt to edit something that I have no idea how to do... I'll get there... let me know if you do...

But I hear that you can't do sh*t with it, once running the script your downloading, and no games or such...
