The torrent is outdated. What parts are there are good, but there may be additional parts you need to also download.

I'm not about to enter the bitchery, there's much better ways to spend my time, but I think this needs to be put into dimension.

"The" torrent doesn't exist.
There's several torrents, one for each module.
They're available in the module's download sections:
Module 1: https://www.sas1946.com/main/index.php/topic,51862.0.html
Module 2: https://www.sas1946.com/main/index.php/topic,51863.0.html
Module 3: https://www.sas1946.com/main/index.php/topic,51864.0.html
Module 4: https://www.sas1946.com/main/index.php/topic,51865.0.html
Module 5: https://www.sas1946.com/main/index.php/topic,51866.0.html

The Torrents clearly state which parts are in and which are not, additionally they clearly state the date of their last update.

At the time of writing this post, all Torrents are dated July 15 2016.
The missing parts can be downloaded separately, "on top" of what you get from the Torrent.

The reason why Torrents are always falling behind the "official" parts list is the fact that you cannot add another part to an existing torrent.
This means that whenever a new part comes out, the whole torrent would have to be replaced and started from scratch.
So instead of e.g. adding some 300MB part to Module 1, you would need all seeders to seed the full 20GB altogether.
Do that 3 times and there's no seeder left anymore.
That's why the Torrents build a "base" at certain Milestones, additional parts released after that milestone have to be added from different source.

  If I can follow this and have a working up to date CUP, why cant all these PC savvy kids do it ?   

+1

When I first started at SAS I had no experience at modding and zero knowledge of computing.....
In the days before CUP & VP's Modpack etc it took me THREE MONTHS of struggling to get the game to work.......

Mate, If I can do it,you can too.......It's well worth the effort 

Cheers

Posted by: farafonoff: Of course, fuck me for not automatically knowing everything about a behemoth of a mod that has tons of obsolete information floating around. I should be tracked down, kidnapped and murdered for being confused.

Nope. That's not at all rude... Merely Snarky, Snide, Sarcastic and completely Insulting to those trying to help you and those that spend untold hundreds of hours trying to make this all work. Poor little entitled you...

PS. I may not post often here, but I've been here for years. Also I've been part of the Flight Sim community since Air Warrior by Kesmai was $6.00 an hour to play in the early 90's and all we had were numbers and not even nicknames as identifiers. The order of the day online then was respect. An almost military sense of propriety and correctness. That all but disappeared with the advent of AOL, low cost internet and every 12 year old online trying to be more vulgar and moronic than all the other vulgar, moronic 12 year old's online. Some of them grew up and learned appropriate virtual interaction. Far too many others took vulgar and moronic to new levels of immaturity as they became 15, 20, 25, 30, 35. They've so lost touch with how to act within a group, they blame the group for their own failings when they get called out for speaking and acting inappropriately.

Your probably right, farafonoff. You probably can't find anything you'd describe as rude. You've lost the ability to recognize it...
