i recently downloaded the pjcompilation and its the first thing i have downloaded through BitTorrent. I have a Mac and it hasn't set up an application to run through. So when I click on the desktop icon to open the compilation it asks what application to run through. If this makes any sense to anyone let me know what ti do. thanks

read that faq, depending on what type of file it s, shn or flac, you will need to download the right program....you should be able to figure it from there if not ill try and help you further

btw, you only need to read the bottom part of the faq

SHN & FLAC

I downloaded both SHN shorten for MAC and Pure Audio, but I still don't know how to shorten the files. I tried but I'm not sure what I'm supposed to do. Also, when I went to download the PureAudio, it told me to download a standard version because it couldn't find bittorrent or SHN. Any help is sooo appreciated!!

Are you saying you downloaded just the .torrent file, and you don't know how to open it, or that you downloaded all the .flac files and you don't know what to do with them. It sounds like the first to me. You need to download a BT client for Mac, then open the .torrent file with it.
