how to play dvdrip xvid avi torrents?

vlc player is the way to go

P.S. I got cought downloading torrents once, 3,500 fine.....

Yes vlc should play it, but if it doesn't, you may just have to wait a while to watch it. And yes I believe there could be that many corrupt files out there, thinking several posts could be using the same corrupt file to offer. There's also the possibility of bugs associated with them. I assume you scan before opening. And who knows if there are some kind of "sting" operations out there to snag people. Personally, I stay away from the brand new stuff (cam versions, still in theaters, not in theaters yet etc), because of the risks (however great or not) and the quality issues. If I really want to see a new film, I'll go to the theater during bargain matinee or something, or wait a "respectable" amount of time to try to watch or get it online, or get the dvd... Not a sermon, just my own thing... If the industry really wanted to curtail "illegal" downloading, imo they could release a movie at the same time throughout the world and/or devise a means by which to provide it over the internet themselves....
