Hey Navy suprnova isnt free and lokitorrent rarely comes up is it free?

Have you ever used winmx to d/l movies?

Are you at suprnova.org or suprnova.com? They're two different sites.

That link is for the original BT client. There are others available, eventually you might want to choose a different one.

Now all you need to do is open the .torrent file and start downloading. I hope for your sake that it is well seeded and you have a good connection.

That client doesn't let you limit your upload speed and doesn't provide any information about how well the file is seeded. Finally if you are downloading a multi-file torrent it does not let you set priorities on the files

A lot of people like the Azureus client, but IMO it suffers from feature overload. I prefer BitTornado.

SWD,

Lokitorrent is free, you just have to register before downloading.

BitTorrent is for beginners, just install and run. If you are more experienced, there are a number of other clients that can be configured to run faster.

Suprnova can be slow at times. It is overseas based service and is pretty widely used. Downloading times will depend on several factors, with the main being the number of seeders, or those who are uploading the complete file. And of course, at what speed they are uploading. Then you're dealing with the number of leechers, or those who are downloading the file. It can be brutal, more so during the evening hours. Check for multiple instances of the file you want and check the seed/leech ratios. You generally want to go with a file that has more seeders. I find that leaving the computer on overnight and downloading usually gets the job done.

Word of caution though...if you are using COX, they have been policing downloaders lately. A friend of my son got busted by them for downloading movies and they cancelled his account. The MPAA is starting to file suits, mainly against those providing movies that are still in theaters.

Okay, so I assume you have .vob files. If you want to burn at home there is an easy way you can do it with free programs:
1) Use ImgTool Classic 0.91.2 to make a disc image
2) Use DVDDecrypter to burn the image.

Dont think its a vob but I have to check tonight when I get home. It did start with a V though like VOIX or something like that?

XVID is the decoder program I hate to download to be able to view the movie in windows explorer. Does that make sense to you guys? Will I be able to burn it if I get a dvd burning software on my pc and will my DVD player play it?


DJ,

My time is 60/hour, fortunately I can still develop while its downloading in the backgroup also keeps running while i sleep :D
