I'm downloading some video files off torrent. They are the correct filesize, but I click on them and they don't work. Will the movies work when the torrent finishes downloading?

yes, the files aren't complete, so they probably won't open, and plus they're being used by another program (BT). finish downloading them and it will work unless there's some other problem.

Wait for the client to say 100% complete, then it'll play fine.

good ol bit-per-second torrent eh. there is a client for BT that allows you to watch vids as they are downloading, much like kazaa's avi preview. failing finding one, you could always download avi preview and give it a go. http://avipreview.en.softonic.com/ie/27373

a torrent of many files downloads one at a time right? The filesizes of the "completed" files seem to match...
