Right, giving up with ripping DVD's (unless anyone has a cracked version of winavi to give me? That worked alright, but massive NAG watermark) so I want to get some hardcore downloading going.

Reckon I can get a few films a day Thumbs Up Need to pack out the hard drive before travelling again.

So, any recommendations. It's the old mans computer so can't install programs really, at least not obviously. And the net is slow isn't that fast anyway, so not going to be worth having multiple downloads at once.

Oooh, just found Bitlet. Something like this, this is good Thumbs Up

Using Torrentscan.com to find torrents, but I can't seem to get them to work? Am I copying the right thing in to the bitlet box?

Eg;

https://torrents.sumotorrent.com/download/2174169/2008-12-14/The+Life+Aquatic_ST2092732.torrent

https://www.btjunkie.org to find torrents and use https://www.utorrent.com/ to download with. Thumbs Up

Would have thought you'd be okay installing utorrent, if it's installed without shortcuts on the start menu, desktop or taskbar then your dad will never know. Wink

I just use Stagevu for films, it's all converted to divx so the quality takes a hit, but still perfectly watchable for me, that and sub 1gb files makes for short downloads.

Good for TV shows too.

Okay it's not torrents but you did say download films/torrents not just torrents Razz

What Ste said.

Ripping DVD's is easy as piss.

Download "DVD Decrypter"
Insert DVD, click "rip to pc"
Download Auto Gordian Knot
Click "Convert to avi"
Pick size you want e.g. 700mb
????
Profit

Auto GK is an utter dog. Although I might just be dense. Got DVDshrink and Auto GK already on my lap top, but I'm not sure I'm trying to use the right files in the conversion.

Confused I am.

Ah, tend to find that takes ages to download for some reason. I use TVshack a lot and the vids off of that take me ages to stream. Yet Megavideo (the evil swine that /that/ is) is rapid as fook. So is Zshare.

I've used utorrent and bittorrent software with a fair amount of success... and the infamous piratebay to search for the torrent links

Oooh, it lives Very Happy

A massive 24kb/s download speed. Must find torrents with more seeds Laughing

A mate of mine has promised to set me up on his server client thingy. It downloads the torrent for you, you whip it off of that. Sounds swish Thumbs Up

easiest way to find a torrent of something you want is google rather than a particular torrent site

search for film name and the word torrent

ie
dark knight torrent

Bastard fooking thing. It seems an ok applet, but the torrents slowly wither and die, and you have to stop and restart them.

So my buggering off to watch The Terminal barely dented em. Grr.

I just tried downloading something using that Bitlet site, it goes really slowly on a torrent that can max out my connection when using a proper bit torrent client. Bitlet is a waste of time. Razz

Try and get a scene torrent site invite. They will max out ANY connection you have. Popular torrents can have 5000 seeds, 0 leechers with alot of those seeds being on seed boxes in data centres Laughing

Is very good. We currently have it set up to search through the RSS release logs for files matching keywords and download them automatically.

scenetorrents is one of the less secretive ones. I've been on there a few times but always get kicked out for having a shitty ratio. There are much better ones about but you need to know a guy who knows a guy. I think the main difference is the speed of the releases and the nazi like facism for quality standards and correct tagging.

Oooh, a friend has put me on his torrentflux server.

Swish. 400+kb/s and it's not local.

As per ste's original post - then order by seeders.

Can easily get over 1Mb/s a torrent on decent torrents.

I've played with private sites, but I've got enough stuff backed up to watch that I don't really need anything that much quicker/earlier.

Perhaps, but I'm not paying, and I can trust the download from his server to continue all night.

Thus, having a connecting speed of, snigger, 0.19mb/s isn't quite such a problem.

Currently downloading 2 films off there at ~30kb/s each Laughing

I got seasons 1-4 of Harvey Birdman, 4gb... He's putting that on DVD for me. Bob hope otherwise.
