Anyone download torrents?

**bseries2jz** · 02-04-2008, 07:04 PM

Hey, got a question for anyone smarter then me, i've been downloading alot of movies lately, torrents obviously and I download a few files that are cut into pieces and cant figure out how to watch them, such as xVid, any ideas? Thanks guys!

**Big** · 02-04-2008, 07:10 PM

About half the torrents I download they want you to install some special player or some special tool to combine the files, I just delete those and move on. If you can't play it with Windows Media Player or Divx player, and if you can't join it with WinRar or WinZip, I'm not interested. Too much spyware out there.

**bseries2jz** · 02-04-2008, 09:29 PM

Thanks for the reply and yea your probably right, so much spyware its on the safer side.

**shifty_git** · 02-04-2008, 10:57 PM

you talking about any .rar files? like 30-40 of them normally

or just xvids that are in 2 bits?

**bseries2jz** · 02-06-2008, 12:10 AM

Sorry that I didnt specify but yes, .rar's i've also got a few xvids that are in more then 2 pieces but I just watch one piece at a time, how would I watch the 40 .rar files?

Normally you just open the first one then there is an option to extract. The extract will take all the other files and turn them into one file of whatever format it was before it was compressed

I concur. If you extract one, it will use all the others. It's just a different way of compressing a file.

**jackjackson** · 02-06-2008, 12:58 PM

You need all the volumes in the same dir to extract a movie with volumes.
I use to use torrents, I have moved onto something much much quicker and solid.

**lethalcav** · 02-06-2008, 11:35 PM

right click on first rar file and extract here using winrar. Then download nero 6.0 and up and play or burn to disc. Nero will decode the image and audio for you.

Ditto ^^

**SaSqUaDgE** · 02-18-2008, 11:16 PM

alot of torrents are iso etc that means image file means that the bigger files out there compact better in .iso alot of torrents are legit u just gotta use right sites ex: piratebay.org isohunt.com all there torrents are legit there are alot of legit iso burners out there where u jus open the iso file and press install or whatever depending on wut it is

Kale is correct,

when you d/l a movie, it usually has around 30 .rar files you right click, & extract into the same folder/directory and it will give you the film.avi
you can usually play these in windows, but some need codex, what you can download is VLC & this will play them no probs

**AmbushKing** · 10-22-2008, 08:21 PM

just get winrar to build the segmented files and get vlc media player ( best player arround hands down) it plays everthing and has top notch editing filters great if you know how to sync back up audio

Like what? Thanks in advance.

**DSM4Life** · 10-24-2008, 04:35 PM

Get WinRar and you will be fine. NEVER download "their" players and install them, 99% of the time they are either viruses or spyware.

If you play with torrents get a good anti-virus program.

**AdamGH** · 10-25-2008, 02:23 AM

like someone mentioned previously. use VLC media player for all your movie playing needs. it plays everything. the rest of the players out there are junk. Especially windows media player. Trust me, ive been using vlc since 2001.

**AdamGH** · 10-25-2008, 02:35 AM

imo i still prefer newsgroups to bit torrents any day. you get full speed dl's with newsgroups and no sharing needed. only bad thing is the servers the stuff is stored on is only so big. so data eventually gets overwritten with newer stuff. it's usually ok cause people will generally put it back up again at a later date.

**AdamGH** · 10-25-2008, 02:41 AM

http:// www. newzbin. com sign up with them and take a look around. use a program called newsleecher to read the files if you decide to get into it.

**ROCKNROLLA** · 11-07-2008, 04:46 AM

Watch them with VLC Player, pretty much plays every single media format for me - www.filehippo.com
I use VLC for movies, WMP for pr0n and Winamp for music

**bladerunner9** · 12-15-2008, 01:27 PM

If you have a high speed internet conncetion then PM me if you need any kind of download including movies or softwares or wat ever.

**danny101** · 02-26-2009, 12:28 PM

adamgh is right newshosting is much better i have newzbin/newsleecher too can do films in hd all new releases old films porn etc software everthing a man could want lol plus its alot faster than torrents just took 40 mins for gran torino and thats 4.5gb

**skeldno** · 02-26-2009, 12:44 PM

use jdownloader and download from rapidshare and megashare and most other host sites as a free user :-)

phazeddl.com is a good place to start i wont fill this post with links but once you look around you will find many.

If he goes to news groups then he will make several following posts asking for help on par/par2 files then another, on split files hjsplit . Then quickpar ... Then newsleecher *shrugs* lets try to keep it simple for people

**SilverNBlack2727** · 02-28-2009, 09:35 PM

AdamGH think you could send me an Invite to join N ew zbin?. Website says it is invite only.

**borra** · 03-01-2009, 05:25 AM

news groups are way much better then torrents. I used to use them all the time to dl high-def movies until my ISP turned off their free news-server. Should probably fork out the cash for the paid for news-servers.

also, a great torrent search engine is torrentz.com. I perferr to grab files from pirates bay or mininova since they usually have a good list of user comments.

**Soulwar** · 03-13-2009, 07:28 PM

A little heads up for downloading torrents. (for windows anyways)
Download Peer Guardian 2 and install it. It will "hide" your IP address. Some torrents are monitered by your Internet Provider (usually due to high volume of downloading and uploading) and some Government agencies. I've known a few people that have received a "cease and desist" letter. Just don't set it to block "http". You won't even be able to go online. =)

**IM708** · 03-13-2009, 08:53 PM

^^^^That's why you don't download child porn

Dude its only a firewall that drops UDP TCP and ICMP packets your isp isnt going to be fooled by that... LOL their log files are still going to see huge bandwidth usage to your computer and be able to find the source..... Only good for stopping some viruses/spyware/malware.. worthless in hiding yourself, only a foreign proxy service would be any good in doing that....

**Bojangles69** · 03-15-2009, 11:28 AM

For torrents use Vuze.
If you are downloading latest non-releases (still in movies) don't use Pirate Bay. It takes forever for them to get a movie.

Search first at isohunt, not through googles search bar.
They have the best/most recent movies.

Read the feedback on the torrent and you'll know whether or not to dl it.
When you are done go install the cracked Xilosoft DVD Creator.
Drag and drop the movie and just click burn, all done! This is how I always do my movies, my I use torrents mainly for vsts and music samples.

**steppenwolf** · 03-15-2009, 07:21 PM

For torrents use Vuze.

Why VUSE?

I use torrents mainly for vsts

What are VSTs?

Thanks in advance.

**soulstealer** · 03-16-2009, 08:36 PM

Search for Axxo movies only, best quality and fenopy.com is a great engine

**T_Own** · 03-17-2009, 03:53 PM

i use demonoid for movies and such, its pretty good, not extremely fast, but still avgs ~150kbps and its pretty safe since its invite only and based on your sharing too

and utorrent to dl them

**learnerdriver** · 03-30-2009, 09:32 PM

yay for demonoid.com

**Tigershark** · 03-30-2009, 10:56 PM

I only use demonoid for torrents. Best site out there.

I dont know if anyone has said anything about it but I have been doing torrents for years, I got screwed with the old school p2p, so I went to torrents, Axxo is the best for movies, also used WMD-weapons of mass downloading, it has alot of things to help you glue files together, it is more for newsgroups which are great for downloading too, but thats a different subject. Also use winrar, I never have had problems with anything. Also a huge thumbs up for VLC I use it all the time, you can take dvd vob's and make a playlist totally bypassing the whole go to the title screen on tv show series, also you can make a playlist of movies and bypass the credits and title screens, so you can just watch 5 movies in a row (honey get the popcorn ready its movie night). Get slyfox aio or all in one for ripping your own dvd's to your hard drive then to your psp, Ipod, or zune. not to mention one of the best burning programs out there, also look for dvd decrypter, and dvd fab decrypter for all your ripping needs. I know this is alot of things you didnt ask for and I wasnt trying to hijack the thread either I just wanted to give you some ideas for some great programs. Good luck and I hope it helps.

hell yes axxo.. alot of his resent stuff has been awfull. pb kicks ass

I havent had any problems with axxo's stuff you have to watch there is alot of axxo clone crap from jerks. But his most recent list is here axxo.superfundo.org it is a full list of his works. I have just got about 8 of his movies all in perfect awesome quality, I watch all of this on a 1080p 65 inch dlp, now I do not have it in hd but it still looks great and it sounds great on the stereo.

**Tigershark** · 04-01-2009, 01:59 AM

Axxo always has the best torrents. Kingben is ok for a decent cam version, but Axxo is the way to go for pre-release DVD rips.

**SayNoToDougs** · 04-07-2009, 10:34 PM

You guys need to move up to the world of private trackers. Much quicker speeds, and real, uninfected, scene releases.

ie torrentbytes.net torrentleech.org scenetorrents.org etc

I prefer uTorrent for my torrent client. Others just seem to bloated for me.
