Solved BMS Base Installer question
-
Sorry if this is noobish question, but I have gone to the software download page to install for the first time Falcon_BMS_4.35_setup (magnet), whatever the magnet means. It downloads and creates a folder called Falcon_BMS_4.35_setup & in it is one 94Kb file called Falcon_BMS_4.35_setup.torrent. When I click it, it doesn’t run setup as per how I read the install instructions, it ask me what app to use to open it. Am I doing something wrong?

@misty-genesis Torrent files can be opened and downloaded using a utorrent client.
-
@foxtrot701 Oh, OK thanks. The bms wiki makes no mention of needing a utorrent client, so that explains why I have the problem.

<p>@Foxtrot701 is there a .exe file to download? I don’t like using torrents or downloading their utilities… most are shady and I don’t want another pc destroyed because of it. </p>
-
<p>@viperBAT49_DTF49 very big misunderstanding of what torrents are… <br /><br />I made those torrents… There is nothing shady, those are official and clear packages. <br /><br />You even have a checksum to see if the file is legit. <br /><br />Stop spreading fake news… </p>

<blockquote>Stop spreading fake news…</blockquote><p><br />Easy there boss - he may simply be referring to the shadiness of torrent clients, not the torrents themselves!<br /></p><blockquote>@Foxtrot701 is there a .exe file to download?

Hope that helps!</p>

<p>@MaxWaldorf in no way shape or form was I accusing you of anything nor spreading fake news. I was referring to the client aspect… yeesh.</p>

<p>@viperBAT49_DTF49 <br />I share your concern about adware / spyware etc bundled into some clients.<br /><br />In theory, I like the app-store model for things like this – running apps in a limited-trust sandbox.<br /><br />(In practice, the store UIs tend to bury the permission statement… most people won’t understand them anyway … and one probably shouldn’t trust the sandbox 100% … still have to read reviews and go with safety-of-the-herd.)<br /><br />For Win10, I’ve been using Torrent RT. Seems fine for occasional use.<br /><a href=“https://microsoft.com/store/apps/9WZDNCRFHW41” target=“_blank”>https://www.microsoft.com/store/apps/9WZDNCRFHW41</a><br /><br /></p>

<p>I have direct mirrors available for the base installer and incremental updates U1-U3 but not gonna share links without permission from @MaxWaldorf or others. Not sure if it’s okay, but got them on my CDN if they’d be helpful. Could also remain as a private link for rare use, as opposed to publicly listed. They cannot yet be found unless I put the links somewhere, won’t do that without confirmation. Let me know, happy to help if it’s welcome.</p>

<p>You can share whatever you like in private but no links to official BMS material on the public forum will be tolerated from people outside the team…</p>

<blockquote>You can share whatever you like in private but no links to official BMS material on the public forum will be tolerated from people outside the team…</blockquote><p><br />Copy that. To clarify, as in, totally private, right? Meaning, no public facing links on my website like the <a href=“https://veterans-gaming.com/files/category/62-bms-4/” target=“_blank”>old mirrors</a>, etc.? Don’t wanna anger those who put in the work, just wanna double check<br /><br /></p>
