I posted these instructions in another thread but because so many people are always asking about how to go about getting and using torrent's i'll make it's own little thread, if you have any questions just ask!
- Firstly you want to download a program called BitLord, I find it the easiest to use - very simple! It is a FREE download you can get it from www.bitlord.com
- Secondly you'll need to find a good torrent website, I use www.mininova.org they are very up-to-date and I very rarely have any problems with their torrents, there are tonnes of others though and sometimes I use them, just do a google search and you'll find them.
- Once you find a torrent on their site you want, you can search by name but I find the categories to be easier when it comes to TV shows, just click on the name of the episode you want, a new page will open up with a .torrent file for example if you are downloading an ep called ERS0213 it will be ERS0213.torrent you will click on that link and then hit OPEN
- This is when Bitlord will automatically open up and you can choose what files to download, never touch anything, just hit OK and you're off and downloading, when the download is complete it will reach 100% you can find the file in the bitlord folder on your PC, just double click on it and it will play.
Some notes -
- If you have problems playing the episodes, you may need a codec, to find out what codec/s you need get a very small program called G-spot (i'm not making this up!) it is FREE.
If that isn't the issue, you may need to play it using VLC media player, you can get it FREE from www.vcdhelp.com in the tools section.
- Your download will go quicker if you choose a torrent file with more seeds than leechers, also you should let others seed from you for a while before deleting the file from your PC - it is the nice thing to do.
