Unhappy unusable file! Please help!
Hi,

It's my first time here, hope you guys will find me a solution.. !!
I've downloaded a file, 500 Mgs approximatly.
The download was complete so I decided to move the directory to my movies directory. Until then all is fine. I decided to cut/paste all the files from their single directory to their base directory. (ie /folder1/folder1/file.avi TO /folder1/file.avi)

I could do it until I reach season 10 and 11.
Cut/Paste didn't work at all. No error message (ie : it's not in use or something)
It didn't move and sits in their original folders. I try to right-click on the file again and I don't have the regular menu! look at the attached screenshots

I tried to reboot, tried to delete and redownload the files. still doesn't work. Nothing can be done about those two..
I hope you guys can help me :S

PS : I own the dvd's and it isn't related to illegal download.

don't really think we can help here with torrent related questions. May want to read up on the rules regarding p2p apps.

If you own the DVD's, try putting them into a DVD player and watching them.

From the TSG Rules, which you should have read when you joined.
