Re: Downloading Torrents For An Idiot-Help Please

I freaking LOVE utorrent.

I've been back in Thailand close to a year now...and torrents have made it so easy. I don't miss a thing from home. All the rugby league and stuff I want.

Also been downloading tonnes of shows lately. All of The Shield (great show), 24 etc.

If you leave it on overnight and have a very fast connection, you should download the biggest files. I.e. try and download the HIGH DEFINITION version of shows. They look and sound amazing.

Absolutely true.

Search Isohunt...the pirate bay...demonoid...before D/L anything and pick the largest seed.

I dound an ep of 24 last night that had 38 seeders. Fast enough. Then I found the same ep with 598 seeders and it absolutely flew.

If you download shows from America a day or two after they're shown...it's not uncommon to see 5000+ seeders. It flies then.
