What does this site even do ?

They have a ton of videos from all kinds of racing.
However what you download is a torrent file which I have never been able to convert (and I've tried a ton of converters) to a more playable format. Maybe I'm just not computer savvy enough although I make and convert other formats.
Many many rules including ones for handing out invites.

You don't convert a torrent file.

You use it in a torrent software(eg bittorrent) to download the actual video file.

Yeah..I have tried BitTorrent before without luck. However after your comment I went yesterday and re-downloaded it and lo and behold it worked fine. Don't know what I did wrong in the past but it works fine for me now.
Thanks

right now I'm pulling my hair out trying to get video I have uploaded to RFM to play for people.
I've had people there offer advise but nothing seems to work. I guess it's just over my head and I'm a stupid old man
I built and operated my own web site for years with no major problem but this has me baffled.

@ those requesting an invite..... You do realize they want you to give as well as take don't you?
