    hmm. . . ok let me troubleshoot.

    Make sure you click the link that says "Get Torrent File" (the one in the middle) not "Get This Torrent." The latter throws an error on my PC too.

    I installed utorrent on a different PC, over a separate internet connection (two different ISPs) and went through the steps to download the file. I didn't have any trouble; it is all working fine for me so far. Once that one finishes, it will seed at a much faster rate.

    So for whatever reason ThePirateBay isn't playing nicely and providing the "Get Torrent File" link - just a magnet link and their direct download BS.

    If you already have the .torrent file itself, it doesn't need to be distributed directly from TPB - you could attach it as a link here on the forums and people could just drop it into their torrent client. Can you make it available here? Could just share it from a Dropbox link or if the forum will allow you to attach it...

    edit: here's what I see when I go to TPB - not sure why it's not allowing for a direct download of the .torrent file...
