uTorrent a Powerful Bittorrent Client to download the files today

I was using Bitcomet for a long time but I do not like the new versions as they are getting more commercial and blocking the speed of the download purposefully (I guess so)

So compared to any other Bittorrent client utorrent is one of the best

Features of uTorrent

uTorrent is lightweight
uTorrent does not consume too much resources of your computer like Limewire
More options than other Bit Torrent client

You all know what is BitTorrent if you do not know you can read it in Wikipedia torrent page

So you have found a website to download music, movies, audio, software or games or anything interests you. The next step is to download the torrent to your computer.

Then download uTorrent or anything of your choice

Open uTorrent and you will see the following interface

Utorrent General View (click to enlarge Image)

Open the downloaded file

I have downloaded a torrent file to download Firefox 3.0 (This is legal because you can share Firefox)

Open the file and see the description below inside the image

Open Torrent File (Click to enlarge)

First choose the location you want to download the file

Give it a label, now we are downloading only one file but soon or later you will have 100′s of the files queued in Utorrent, It will be hard for you to find the ones you are looking for if you have no lable. Give it labels like “Browser”

The other settings are default setting that you do not need to touch

If you want the file download to start later uncheck “Start Torrent”

Sometime your download bunch will have more than 2 files, if you do not want to download all the files just uncheck the file list

If you go to advanced Tab you will see the Image as below

Setting torrent Properties

This is also called torrent properties setting

The websites are the ones that has the trackers (to make it easy to understand – the websites see how many people are sharing (Seeding) the file, how many are downloading etc. The more trackers you have, the more speed you get to download the file

If you do not any just leave everything to default

You can set the internet speed for each torrent file you download, so your normal work does not get affected

If you click on the advanced tab on top you will get the window as shown below

Torrent advanced settings

You can automatically run specific programs when the download completes such as Media Player or Document viewer etc..

Then click OK to start the download

Details of uTorrents

Utorrent General View and Description (CLICK TO ENLARGE THE IMAGE)

The rest is very much self explanatory

Seeders: Seeders are the ones that have the full file in their computer

Peers or Leechers are the one that download the files from the seeders

Once you finish the download, you computer will automatically upload the files to some Leechers, You will be a seeder then

You can stop uploading the files by clicking on the stop button at the top

You can pause a download and start it again

You can close the application and start the download later

You can shutdown your computer and then start the application to download the paused download. You will not loose any downloaded portion of it. This is Good right?

Best Dvd Player Download

DSP — Mon, 27 Oct 2008 01:43:11 +0000

Which is the best DVD player? How to download the DVD player? How to get the DVD player for free?

I am going to help you have the best DVD player in your system for viewing movies without any trouble.

Note: I am going to talk about the software to use in the computer, not the hardware that plays the DVD for your TV

I have been using Power DVD, Windows Media Player, Real Player, and Nero player for so long thinking that these are the only players that can play the DVD. But I found many others which are better than this.

The Best DVD Player is VLC Media Player. Being in India, I was not able to buy the costly software to play my DVD. I tried this wonderful software and this is amazing.

VLC Media Player default Look

This looks very simple yet powerful

You need to have Divx codec and other AC3 filters installed in your computer. If you have these, I promise that it will play 99% of all the movies videos that you have or in the market.

Download the VLC Media player

Go to the above page and choose download link and mirror website for downloading.

I have another post that talks more about VLC media player Tips and Tricks, do visit that page to get more information.

If you have any questions or suggestions, please post a comment.

DSP — Mon, 27 Oct 2008 01:11:27 +0000

Find below the Ebook downloading websites, Best methods to do the e-book downloading

I have one more post in this website How to download e-Books (PDF) from Google? use this method if you know the name of the book. If you do not know the name of the book and if you want to browse the list of books available and then choose one, you can visit Amazon.com and find out which book you are looking for and do a Google advanced search. You will get most of the books that you are looking for.

If you cannot find any books from Google use the following methods

Use torrents to download the books

Demonoid.com is one of the best place where you can find quality stuff
Mininova.org is anoter one place with variety anf organized in a better way
Piratebay.org is another one source for downloading e books

There are other direct download methods.

Use Google to search something like this “free ebook share”

This will list number of websites that has the ebooks for downloading. You may not fnd all the books in one place, you will have to seahc the internet to get the book that you want. Dont just get addicted with the 1st page search result� that Google gives, often this is wrong and the vistors dont get satisfied.

Just look beyond 2nd and 3rd page or more to get what you want.

Most of these websites are illegal, I am afraid to give links to them. But use google, “google is the pirate king”

It is very easy to download movies from Internet. There are number of ways to do it. Some are illegal and some are not. These are done under the basis of sharing.

The following are the popular methods of downloading a movie from internet.

Download Movies using Torrent
Download movies using the forum

Download movies from website like Rapid share

I am from India and for a long time I wondered how to download movies, then I finally found out how to do it. The most popular method is through Torrents.

I have another post in this title, you can read how to install the torrents an use it. (Note: I do not encourage you to download any illegal content from websites, this is a tech blog to help people acquire knowledge)

Use Google and find out the best websites that list the movie torrent

For English Movies

Mininova.org
Demonoid.com
Piratebay.org

These 3 sites will serve the purpose, you do not need to look any further. They have limited advertisement and there is limited malware and other crappy stuffs.

You can use these sites to download many things other than movies also, such as Audio books, Games, E-books, TV shows, Software, etc…

But use it with caution, most of these are illegal
