I'm having trouble with the CUP Terrains Download.  Neither the Armaholic or Torrent links are giving me files that can be extracted.  Both come up as errors stating "C;/John/Downloads/CUP_Terrains_Complete- 1.3.0.zip.torrent The archive is either in unknown format or damaged"  I get that for both WinRar and 7ZIP.  What should I do?

[1LT (Ret) Garcia]

A .torrent file isn't the actual file you want, it's what the bit torrent client uses to find the actual file. The armaholic download should work, but it'll be capped at 500 kbps.

Perfect.  Okay, that makes a little more sense.  I'll figure it out.  Thank you!!

Things are starting to fly a tad over my head now.  I've done some research online, but I'm still having the same issues.  I ran some single player stuff alone to make sure the mods were installed correctly and got the following two errors:

"Picture\cup\terrains\cup_terrains_core\cup_terrains_logo_mod.paa is not found"

and

"No Entry 'bin\config.bin/CgfVehicles/TargetFakeTank.scope'."

For TFAR, I see a gray box in the bottom right that says:

"Pipe was closed by TS"
When I installed TFAR, the files were very different from what the video shows.  I think I got it right, because everything else showed up the way it did in the walk through video.  I've installed and uninstalled, even found some fixes online, but I'm still having these error messages pop up.  Short of just winging it, I wasn't sure where else to turn. 

Any guidance?
