torrents?downloading tv programmes to my laptop?
 

I was wondering if anyone could help me out?
What are torrents or what is it?Im lost lol
Oh and also,im looking to download some tv programmes from the internet to my laptop if possible.Is there anyway I can?Thanks guys.x

Here is a site I know of
http://www.tvtorrents.com/
I think you need Limewire or something to open them

http://www.mininova.org is brilliant.

thanks both of you:wink:ill have a look now

they saved to my laptop but i cant seem to get them to download on limewire:conf:

Why what happens?

The thing that saves is just the starting thing. You need to download a torrent program to open it into. Download 'bitlord', it's a torrent opening program. Then the file that has saved to your computer, right click it then go to 'open with' and select bitlord and it'll start the download.

Or you could just go to: www.alluc.org

There you can watch films/ tv straight away- no need to download...

Oh, I forgot, limewire does torrents now. Just right click the thing you got saved, click open with then limewire and it should start downloading on limewire. Torrents are really slow though and tv and films are big files so they take a long time.

That's why I don't usually download them, I just watch them straight from www.alluc.org or even youtube has quite a few tv shows but the quality isn't as good.

http://www.thepiratebay.org is a really good site for torrents. :thumbs:

Yeah but I think she meant she needs a program to download them with such as limewire or bitlord or whatever.

Download Ares, it's better than Limewire.

In light of what is being proposed by the Government and ongoing court cases, I am not sure that this kind of help should be given here for legal reason.

Perhaps this thread should be locked to be on the safe side

You should download "utorrent" to download the files.

If you look at the BBC news site stories about 'Pirate Bay' etc. they all have links to the relevant sites. I don't see a problem with having these links here. :thumbs:

:rolleyes:

limewire keeps saying there qued.Thanks for the help people,im gonna try and download that now Billy :tongue:

You wont be rolling your eyes when your laptop is infected with virusses.:spin2::whistle:

i am actually already aware of the risk of virusses and what the government are proposing to do concerning illegal downloading:whistle:

OK:thumbs:

well im downloading an ee ep atm and its taken all night to get just over half way-is this normal?Im using utorrent to open the torrent with.

Pretty much. Told you they were slow, that's why I usually only download music. Films and tv takes ages! If it's popular though it's usually quicker.

well i got it downloaded lol but now it wont open with windows media player its saying it needs a code???

I download everything. Software, Music, TV, Movies. My computer is on all the time and it is still really slow.

I use www.torrentz.com to search for torrent files. It searches loads of sites.

If you download DivX Player it should work. Many of my torrents need it to be played.
