For those people that are not net savvy, such as our parents, they tend to use DVRs to record their favorite programs. Using these they are able to set the time to record and it is done automatically. This can be done similarly using the RSS feeds on trackers, if the are available. This way you do not have to sit waiting for your shows to be posted, or hitting the refresh button every few minutes. If you do not know what an RSS feed is click on this link: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rss_feeds To set this up, the first thing to do is find the orange RSS feeds icon on the site Then select what you desire, TV-HD, for example, ensure the feed type is Download Link, and select your timezone. Then click on the button labeled "Generate RSS Link" You will then receive a URL to insert into your reader, which will be uTorrent in this example. Copy this URL. Open uTorrent, click on file->Add RSS feed, a window will pop up: Paste the URL into the Feed URL field, and you can select an alias (rename), which will make it easier to find. Make sure the "Do not automatically download" button is selected. Click "OK" Next click on Options -> RSS Downloader. Click add at the bottom. Enter anything you wish that will help you identify what will be downloaded. In the Filter field you enter what it is that you want the feed to look for. The "Not" field is used for eliminating items you don't want in your search. For example if you want to download "House" you may want to put "Housewives" so posts with this in the title won't be downloaded. Next select a folder to save the torrent download. Then on the Feed pull-down menu select the feed, or feed alias you want to use for this search. Select the quality you desire, 720p, for example. The most important item to check below this is the "smart ep. filter" This will prevent multiple downloads of torrents with the same name. Close the window. Now whatever you want to download will start automatically when it is picked up by the feed.

What is peer to peer network? When several computers are interconnected, but no computer occupies a privileged position, the network is usually referred to as a peer-to-peer network. In this type of network, every computer can communicate with all the other machines on the network, but in general each one stores its own files and runs its own applications. With a client-server network, one or more servers will perform critical functions on behalf of the other machines (the clients) on the network. These functions might include user authentication, data storage, and the running of large, shared, resource-intensive applications such as databases and client relationship management (CRM) software. Typically, both peer-to-peer and client-server networks rely on a shared Internet connection for access to external resources of these basic network structures. The advantages of peer to peer network are as follows: The main advantage of peer to peer network is that it is easier to set up In peer-to-peer networks all nodes are act as server as well as client therefore no need of dedicated server. The peer to peer network is less expensive. Peer to peer network is easier to set up and use this means that you can spend less time in the configuration and implementation of peer to peer network. It is not require for the peer to peer network to use the dedicated server computer. Any computer on the network can function as both a network server and a user workstation. The disadvantages of peer to peer network: A computer can be accessed anytime. Network security has to be applied to each computer separately. Backup has to be performed on each computer separately. No centralized server is available to manage and control the access of data. Users have to use separate passwords on each computer in the network. As with most network systems, unsecure and unsigned codes may allow remote access to files on a victim's computer or even compromise the entire network We got to know about the advantages and disadvanges of peer to peer netwrok. Let us see how it works: Here is the one of the example of peer to peer network that is torrents . Most of us aware of torrents and we do use for many downloads right!!! But do you know that ,there are some risks involved with torrent downloads. The most dangerous being: Virus, Trojan, Worm, Keylogger program attachments. IP signature tattlers: Torrents have become an increasingly popular way to download files. No matter what you are looking for, from audio to video to applications, torrents are an easy way to find and download. However, most torrents are illegal and nature and you are breaking the law by downloading them. Peer-to-peer file sharing pretty much began with torrents. They are a type of file sharing protocol specializing in larger file downloads. The way torrents are encoded make it easier to download a large file, and even reputable resources are beginning to use them to make downloading files easier for users. Torrent downloads are basically downloading from multiple personal computer systems, simultaneously, and combining data at the end to form the file you were looking for. Problem is, that it's WAY too easy to attach things to these files, and they just get swept into this whirlwind of information, broken apart and can easily invade your system after they're reconstructed INSIDE YOUR COMPUTER, behind your firewall. After that it's just whether or not you have a good virus scanner that can detect it. IP tattlers are a pain too, in that once you download something and activate it for the first time, it sends information to the watcher program containing the IP address of the computer you were using and where it was downloaded from. These watchers are paid by software development companies to bust people downloading non-free-to-play software. So how to avoid these risks ?? You need to follow the three simple steps as given below: 3 things you should always do before opening ANYTHING you download from torrent: 1) Download from a remote source. Like a cyber cafe or another free wifi zone. Watchers can't find you if you download remotely, it will only send information of the place you downloaded from. 2) Download the file to a safe area of your computer, something not highly active, or into a quarantine file monitored by your antivirus program. 3) Wait 48hrs before opening any program you download from torrent, and run antivirus software scans on it before you do. Most viruses are discovered within the first 48hrs of it's release, and you need to wait till your antivirus program receives definition updates, so that you can combat it before it attacks you. Better to let it happen to someone else first.

How To Get Your Maxspeed (uTorrent). Torrent Client - Preferences - Bandwidth - Number of connections - Set aprox. 500 for each Torrent Client - Preferences - BiTorrent - Protocol Encryption - Forced Bandwidth Allocation - High (Set download/upload limit - Unlimited) Stop Other Active Torrents. Start downloading and wait for connections. Enjoy and Seed for at least 1:1 ratio.

his tutorial will guide through the steps to set up uTorrent webUI to be used with any mobile browser (works with opera mobile) 1. Go to http://sites.google.com/site/ultimas...torrent-miniui and download the latest version of uTorrent miniUI. 2. Now typing "%APPDATA%/uTorrent" in run to bring up the utorrent application data folder. If you are using portable version, look for it inside the portable program folder 3. Copy the downloaded file in this folder and rename it as webui.zip 4. In uTorrent navigate to options>preferences>webUI and enable it. you can use any username and password of your choice 5. To open webUI on your mobile phone open any browser and type [your IP address]:[port number]/gui/mini/index.html. Writing index.html is a must. For example, if your IP is 100.90.80.10 and port number is 1234, then you must type http://100.90.80.10:1234/gui/mini/index.html 6. Enter the username & password when prompted If you want to use both normal webUI and mobile webUI 1. Extract the downloaded zip file in a folder and name it mini 2. Extract the original webUI.zip in another folder. 3. Copy the folder named mini inside this folder 4. Now compress the contents of this folder into zip format. Do not compress the folder itself but the contents of the folder 5. Place this file in %APPDATA%/uTorrent folder. Now both webUIs can be accessed simultaneously To test if your webUI is working or not, after all the above steps are done, type localhost:[port number]/gui/mini/index.html in any browser on your PC.

The importance of staying anonymous while downloading files through BitTorrent network is one of the most discussed question of today. Various anti-piracy companies invest high budgets into copyright fight against all torrent sites. BitTorrent users search for a way to hide their identity from the third-parties while they download files from torrent trackers. We show the best five ways to protect your privacy. VPN Thousands of BitTorrent users already discovered a VPN as a possibility to hide the traffic from Internet Service Providers by protecting of their private IP address. There are many VPN free providers, but if you wish to get full advantages of the connection then a cheap account can help. Using VPN you will be able to encrypt not only BitTorrent traffic, but the full data transferred from Internet to your home computer. Some of the most popular VPN service are BTGuard, Torguard or PrivateInternetAccess. The average monthly price for a VPN account is between $5 and $10 depending on your needs. BTGuard BTGuard made its name while offering a proxy service for BitTorrent network. Using it will help to hide your IP address from the world. The service is available for all operation system like Windows, Mac or Linux, can be easily set up and works with all BitTorrent or Usenet clients. BTGuard offers also a tunnel software that is able to encrypt all data transfer between you and the world. TorrentPrivacy TorrentPrivacy is another one proxy service that we can recommend for all our visitors. It worls in the similar way as BTGuard and offers already modified uTorrent client with configured settings. TorrentPrivacy is a service created by the owners of TorrentReactor and can be used with Windows operation system. Since two years in business the service gathered strong community of loyal BitTorrent fans. Anomos Anomos is a free solution for BitTorrent users to protect their privacy by hiding an IP address from the public. The service creates own multi-peer-to-peer protocol that is based on BitTorrent’s distribution system. Anomos anonymizes the file distribution through end-to-end encryption. The developers launched own a torrent format that works separately from regular torrent files. The download speed is lower as with BitTorrent, but the team works on improving it in the next releases. Thousand of users already made a request for the development team of Anomos to integrate it into popular torrent clients. Seedbox Under Seedbox we understand a dedicated high-speed server that can be used for downloading of files from BitTorrent network. The file will be first transferred to this server and, after it’s completed, user transfers the content from Seedbox to PC using a fast http protocol. In this way the IP address will not be shared with the public and user will nowhere shown as downloading peer. Using Seedbox also provides very high download speed. Usenet Usenet network is the main alternative for BitTorrent protocol. If you would like to download much files without being monitored then you probably should know how Usenet works. Usenet is not free, but if you get a premium account then you can download files with high-speed and under SSL encryption. In last ten years of Usenet history there was no any case where a Usenet provider would share with personal details of their customers. To start using it you would need two things: a Usenet client and an NNTP account - both can be used together to download files.

I've seen many people ask how to automatically download torrents from an IRC announcement channel while on windows. If you grab a copy of mIRC and cURL (from cURL - Download) , you can edit the script below to do just this. You will need to know how to use Regular Expressions, and how to modify your system's PATH variable. You need to be careful when you use tools like this: Make sure it's permitted. It probably is, but make sure. Make sure your seedbox is fast enough that your ratio goes UP and not DOWN when using this. Only grab freeleech torrents if your speed is slow. Be judicious in what you choose to download. Don't bog down your seedbox, and help your community, don't hinder it. With cURL installed (and your system %PATH% modified so it can be easilly called), press Alt-R in mIRC to bring up the script editor. Copy and past the script below, then edit it for your needs. Save the file and close the editor. Your home-rolled auto-downloader should now be running. code.txt

I tried this neat tip of speeding up my ftp download from my seedbox. I used to have an average of 50kb/s download on a single 4.4GB file, using Filezilla. It was frustrating to keep the machine running for more than 10hours just to download it, its useless having a seedbox if I just have to keep the computer on. So, I stumbled on Filesharefreak's tips on how to speed my ftp download. It was multi-threading vs segmented downloading. Filezilla has multi-threading, but doesn't support for segmented yet. Multi-threading vs Segmented. — A common misconception is that multi-threading = segmented downloading. This is not the case. GoFTP is a client that claims to support multi-threading, but in truth doesn’t offer segmented. Segmentation allows an FTP client to split a single large file into multiple parts and use multiple transfers to download those parts simultaneously (ie - separate segmented parallel FTP connections). These parts are then recombined into a single file upon completion. Before, I was using my linux desktop to download. But since LFTP is a command line, and as a noob in linux, I went for CuteFTP and used my Windows laptop to download. Currently, I was able to download a maximum of 12.0mbs with 1.xxmbs and 2.xxmbs each segments of a 4.4GB file. But my average was around 900++kbs on a single file with 100++kbs each segments. See how much difference it did take against on my old speed. You can read the whole article, plus the FTP clients that you can use for segmentation:http://filesharefreak.com/2010/03/10...d-downloading/ By reading some comments, you can also have other alternatives, but for now, I am good with this. I just have one CON: I have to restart the queue of the files from time to time since sometimes the speed halts and shows as "?"... which I don't know if the downloading still runs or not. I'm not sure if its a software issue (patch). One tip from me: If one of the segments shows up a yellow exclamation triangle that signifies an error, and on the session log (COMMAND/STATUS) you see an error of '500 Illegal Port', check the port of the segment. Right click on the segment file with error, select Properties. If the Transfer Mode is set to Port, change it to Auto. Then 'Transfer Selected' to restart transfer of the segment. Little Disclaimer: I'm no pro, I just speak from experience. I'm not really a user of CuteFTP, I'm usually using Filezilla. FTPES / FTP over explicit TLS/SSL + Segmented Downloading = Much Better. P.S. If you tried the segmented downloading or already doing it, let us know your before and after speed results within this thread. It might help to know it is working either with little or huge difference, or not working at all. Screenshots of the speeds would be better. Happy downloading.

Hello all. First of all this will not be a tutorial to begin with - but more a collaboration of knowledge and smaller tutorials (which I will continue to update and expand on, hopefully many users will share their thoughts and help me create this tool) to hopefully make a great tutorial/resources for anyone trying to create a setup similar to what I am trying to do. This includes using a home media solution such as plex/kodi(XMBC) on a HTPC setup and having at least some form of automation in retrieving torrents for your favorite content using your favorite trackers. In my situation this includes using a seedbox, which further adds to the complexity of the operation, although you may not have this need in your setup. Background As of the time of writing this I have not completed my build, but parts are on the way. For now I am gathering information about what software and other things I need so I can't comment on these things since I am yet to try it. I will however come back and edit the thread once I get going with this stuff. Over the last few months I have become very interested in setting up the ultimate home media solution with an emphasis on using torrents. For my personal setup I decided on using plex since I will be serving the content to up to 10-15 devices at once from my HTPC, but I also like the idea of XMBC. I will have a link to my HTPC build below for anyone interested, it is basically made for NAS/Plex. It is setup for holding a maximum amount of content (5 x 3TB HDDs), while being powerful enough to transcode 1080p video to a number of devices (PS3, XBOX, tablets, phones, etc) at the same time, and while making a minimal amount of noise, and keeping a small, stylish design. HTPC Build Here is my build: Keep in mind: 1 - The CPU is overkill for most builds, I got mine discounted and it is to serve 10-15 devices. For personal use a cheap i3 is fine. I do however recommend the "T" models, they use low amounts of power so if your device is running 24/7 it will help reduce costs. 2 - If you want the HTPC to also be able to play games you should consider a dedicated graphics card in your build. 3 - 16GB ram probably isn't needed, but to me it's cheap so I added it 4 - An SSD isn't 100% needed, but many have reported a much more responsive and enjoyable experience with plex/kodi, so I recommend it if you can afford it. 5 - When using a small case, be careful. I had issues with RAM being too tall, big GFX cards can be an issue, etc. That being said, there are many budget builds and some people use an old laptop or desktop to serve their HTPC needs. Now on to the fun stuff: HTPC Software Plex or Kodi(XMBC)? This is completely preference. For me I chose plex due to needing to be able to share the content to a range of devices (plex can transcode video so that even if the device does not support the format it will transcode it to work), and especially over the internet (plex can transcode and/or reduce the quality of the stream to a pre-defined amount. For instance it can stream at 2mbps for slow connections, or 8mbps for a decent one, with kodi you have to stream something in full quality which may not be possible with a slow connection). Plex is VERY easy to use, and very fast to setup. The advantage of kodi is the ability to change whatever you want about it, from skins to plugins. You can tinker for hours and get it running EXACTLY how you want it, or switch it up whenever you get bored. With plex you are mostly stuck with the interface (there are a couple of skins, but they are quite buggy). For me its like this: If you plan to share your media with others in the house/over the internet - get plex. For personal use - Kodi is probably your best option, since it can do much more. (Although depending on your needs plex could be nicer if you value simplicity) Operating System: For me, I used Windows 8 since I had an extra copy and my HTPC can easily handle it. For people who don't want to pay for an Os (although on a website like this people may not anyway) I would suggest Ubuntu since the GUI and functionality will make you feel more at home, especially if you know none or limited linux commands. For more advanced users: I won't tell you which flavour of linux to use, you surely already know what you prefer, just don't forget to check compatibility of the other software you intent to use (which I will try to include). I will list some advantages/disadvantages here if we come across any. TV Show software: What is does: This software automates downloading your favorite TV series, renaming them (for compatibility and to look nice), and moving them into the folder plex/kodi reads from. This is extremely useful for shows currently being aired since it can grab the episode immediately after it is uploaded to a tracker(2-15mins after airing depending on the tracker), download it and have it ready for you. For me the worst part about watching TV shows on torrents was downloading each episode 1 by 1 for an incomplete season, I would usually wait for a series to be over to grab the whole season at once, and hope I didn't see any spoilers on social media. This changes everything for me. As far as I can tell the best option for getting TV shows automated used to be Sickbeard, but that project has recetly been abandoned. Although it is still usable, I recommend anyone starting a build from today use one of the newer variations to avoid issues/bugs in the future. Sickbeard has played its part, but I will skip over it for this tutorial. Especially since the farewell post is 4 years old at this point: Link farewell post: http://sickbeard.com/forums/viewtopic.php?f=3&t=9702 Sonarr (https://sonarr.tv/) A new variation of sickbeard with a clean, modern interface. Originally designed with usenet in mind, over the last few months support for torrents has been added, and integrated quite well. The development team is very active, and is constantly updating the software. Note: Has a .net requirement, but apparently runs fine/stable using Mono on linux builds. Easy to install on windows. Features: - A calendar which shows upcoming TV show release dates for your shows, and keeps track of what show it has downloaded or is currently downloading. - Automatic failed download handling - Modern, slick interface - Custom notifications can be setup - Support for Windows, Mac, Linux(many flavors) - Many more Torrent support: Supports using RSS feeds which many trackers support. Has official support for: IPT, BTN, KAT, BiteMeTV, TL, Nyaa More information here: https://github.com/Sonarr/Sonarr/wik...orted-Indexers There is a 3rd-party app that works with Sonarr to add more trackers, it is in it's early days. Check it out here: http://www.reddit.com/r/trackers/com...rs_for_sonarr/ Sickrage (https://sickrage.tv/) This is a newer sickbeard fork, and if you are familiar with sickbeard you may feel right at home with this. Sickrage uses python, so it runs easily on linux, for windows you need to install python. Features: - More organized, user-friendly interface than sickbeard - Better than sickbeard at handling torrents - Backup and restore - Failed download handling - Seems to run on Windows, Mac(not 100% sure), Linux but the install is a bit more complicated Torrent support: Supports using RSS feeds which many trackers support. Built-in support for: HoundDawgs, HDBits, AlphaRatio, SceneTime, EZTV, BTN, Rarbg, Speedcd, TNTVillage, Shazbat.tv, TorrentBytes, Nyaa, MoreThanTV, IPT, EZRSS, TD, SCC, BitSoup, TokyoToshokan, HDTorrents, ThePirateBay, OldPirateBay, FreshOnTV, KAT, NextGen, T411, TL Very helpful windows install guide: http://www.htpcguides.com/install-si...et-torrent-tv/ Sonarr vs Sickrage: Which is better? To me sickrage seems like the better choice, since it seems more torrent oriented. After reading many reviews and comparison sonarr seemed better, but after installing both it seems like sickrage is more compatible with private trackers here, but sonarr could be good if you want to use something it supports. I don't have BTN, and sickrage supports things I have access to like freshon and morethanTV. Edit: Not with Jackett app I may start using Sonarr, it adds more torrent support Check it here: http://www.reddit.com/r/trackers/com...rs_for_sonarr/ Movie Software: In this category there only seems to be one contender: couchpotato. Some people are confused initially as to why movies need to be automated, unlike a series you just find the movie and get it. Well this is true, and some people don't get this software at all but the cool part is you can enter a movie still in the cinema, or even before it is released in the cinema (upcoming movies). Pick a quality level, and as soon as that quality is released for any of the movies you have added, they will be downloaded and added to plex/kodi. To me this is a great feature, I often hear of upcoming movies and completely forget about them later, you can just add them and one day they will magically appear in your library. Couchpotato (https://couchpota.to/) - Keep a list of wanted movies - Customize preferred quality and other settings - Supports Windows, Mac, Linux (build it from source) Seems to support quite a few trackers: Bitsoup, TL, HDbits, SCC, PTP, Bit-HDTV, AHD, TorrentPotato, IPT, TD, Yify, TorrentBytes, ILoveTorrents, TorrentShack. Source: http://image.torrent-invites.com/ima...faultsTl83.png How to deal with getting content from your seedbox This seems to be the hardest part for me, even once I setup Sonarr, sickrage, and couchpotato they seem to deal with content locally on the computer. I however use a seedbox to manage my ratios, and keep my own upload speed free for streaming content to friends/family. I don't have a solution for this yet, but maybe someone can share their input. So far here are a few ideas I have: I have looked into using BitTorrent Sync, this could automatically sync the content of a folder to a folder on my PC however apparently some users had issues with partially synced content being grabbed by sonarr/couchpotato/sickrage and moved/renamed too early causing problems and errors. This guide seems to have it working alright: http://www.reddit.com/r/torrents/com...e_couchpotato/ Another idea: Cute FTP/another advanced FTP client. Some FTP clients can be setup to automatically grab new content in a folder, however similar issues to what I stated above have been reported to happen. Mounting the remote HDD of the seedbox (in windows this essentially makes the drive show up with a drive letter), and basically using it like it was local. For this you use something called SSHFS. It seems like the best option on paper, I am unsure of how good the file transfer speeds are, and how smooth it works as this point. Guide: https://www.digitalocean.com/communi...stems-over-ssh Another idea: BitTorrent Sync I hope that this guide has helped you setup your HTPC to be an automated beast, and deliver your content easily and efficiently. My NEW solution My old solution is listed below, it is the only solution I could find after a lot of googling. Is worked well, but not perfectly. The main issue was it would download season packs but try to import them before they fully imported, deleting other episode placeholders. About 50% of my seasons had missing episodes even though a season pack was downloaded. There may be way a quick-fix that I am unaware of, but still the new method is better for other reasons such as: Using FTP (w/TLS or even SFTP) instead of BTsync which can be helpful for ISPs that throttle/shape the bittorrent protocol. Also with this method your tv/movie automation software directly communicates with the torrent client, this means you can see download status directly in Sonarr etc. To begin: First of all Deluge is needed for this, at least for Sonarr (so if you are using rTorrent and sickrage instead maybe you can make it work like that). I used this seedbox script: http://www.torrent-invites.com/showthread.php?t=272859 it has an option to install deluge. I use it with Debian 7 64bit. First you need to get the thin client working to access deluge, you can find out how here: http://dev.deluge-torrent.org/wiki/UserGuide/ThinClient Second you need to install the Deluge WebUI (for sonarr) I believe this was as simple as "sudo apt-get install deluge-webui", then navigating to <serverIP>:8112, using the user password created in the script. Lastly you need a program to map your remote seedboxes drive to your local computer. I used Webdrive because it worked best for me, others worked alright but I had issues with them capping at 355kb/s on transfer (might be a windows 8 issue? dunno). Webdrive is expensive, but you can find it on IPT and maybe elsewhere. I wanted high speed so I was looking to use FTP with TLS > SFTP, some are SFTP only. Other options include: Netdrive, SSHFS(SFTP), Swish(SFTP, no drive letter), FTPUSE(seemed buggy), FTPDrive(didn't try), Samba(didn't try, seemed like it would be slow) Sonarr setup: Open Sonarr web UI > Download Client > Add > Deluge. Host:IP of seedbox Port: 8112 unless you changed it in deluge config Url base: Optional Password: The same password you login to webUI with. Category you will use for downloads in deluge. Note: You must turn on the category plugin in deluge, which is easy from preferences in the thin client. Recent priority: I recommend First Older priority: I recommend Last SSL:No (unless you have it setup) Sonarr must be able to access your remote directory, for this we will use Remote Path Mappings. Sonarr can't recognize your webdrive by letter, and won't be able to access it at all if you are running it as a Windows service. To fix this go to service > right-click nzbdrone > properties > Go to logon tab > allow service to interact with desktop(easiest) OR run the service as an admin user. Alternatively don't run sonarr as a service and put it in windows startup. Like I said Sonarr can't handle your webdrive drive mapping (info found here: https://github.com/Sonarr/Sonarr/wiki/FAQ#why-cant-nzbdrone-see-my-files-on-a-remote-server), since it only allows for UNC, but webdrive has support for this:http://www.webdrive.com/support/webdrive/webhelp.v9/UNC_Universal_Naming_Convention.htm To find the Remote Path Mappings you need to turn on Advanced settings in sonarr, and it is on the Download Client tap. Press + I added 2 mappings for myself and am unsure which is needed, but safer to add both: Host: <Seedbox IP> Remote Path: /home/<myuser>/done/ Local Path: \\Webdrive\<Seedbox IP>\done\ Host: <Seedbox IP> Remote Path: /home/<myuser>/ Local Path: \\Webdrive\<Seedbox IP>\ As you can see my finished download folder is "done". I recommend setting up a finished download folder in deluge to avoid conflicts with importing incomplete downloads. That is all, sonarr now works with my remote deluge client and handles completed downloads via webdrive. Couchpotato setup: Luckily this setup is much easier than sonarr. Open Couchpotato settings > Downloaders > tick Deluge > Label: couch (optional) Username: Thin Client username (note: sonarr uses webUI, couch uses thin client details) Password: Thin Client password Directory: optional Host: <Seedbox IP>:58846 (unless you changed the port) Now go to Renamer and change the "From" folder to your webdrive, completed download directory. Note: You can navigate there unlike with Sonarr. That is all there is to it. You can tweak Webdrive details. I turned off caching to make new files show up while browsing, you can also change max down/up connections etc like a regular FTP client. By default it shows transfer speed in the bottom right when moving a file to your local system, I found this useful for setup but later it can be disabled. Hope you guys enjoy! My OLD solution Note: I have stopped using Bittorrent Sync (due to annoying permission errors, slow sync speeds for my route and other problems, although it is good software). Instead I am using Syncthing, which is very similar but worked better for me. Releases: https://github.com/syncthing/syncthi...v0.11.3.tar.gz Here are some very useful guides to help you use it: Getting started: https://github.com/syncthing/syncthi...etting-Started Very helpful guide to install on linux (its for ubuntu but other flavors are very similar): https://www.digitalocean.com/communi...n-ubuntu-14-04 Sample syncthing scripts to keep it running: https://www.digitalocean.com/communi...n-ubuntu-14-04 So I have messed around with this, I couldn't get SSHFS to work so I skipped that, and decided to go with btsync since my seedbox has it. This guide effectively describes the execution of it: http://www.reddit.com/r/torrents/com...e_couchpotato/ But basically I have couchpotato/sonarr/sickrage/headphones setup with the "black hole" option, they all use separate folders but the same parents folder. The parents folder is set to sync to my seedbox with btsync(there are guides for it, but its easy enough), to a "autowatch" folder. Which will grab the .torrent files and start the downloads. Here is a guide for autotools: (Autolabel, autowatch, automove, they are pretty straight forward): http://forums.rutorrent.org/index.php?topic=57.0 *Important*: Here is a guide to permissions regarding btsync, I had big headaches from permission setup (linux pros may be fine):https://www.digitalocean.com/communi...n-ubuntu-12-04 The guide uses a command you may not know called "umask" here is a guide on it: http://askubuntu.com/questions/44542...w-does-it-work After the files are download automove moves them to a finished downloads folder which is set to sync from the seedbox to my home PC, automove keeps the same folder structure so inside that folder I still have all 4 platforms separate, each one is then setup for post-processing via their respective applications, and the files are renamed/moves into my plex TVshows/movies folders. Plex updates my library every 30mins (you can change this, or do it manually as you see fit). The only downside is that since we used blackhole we can't automate seeding to a certain ratio or for a certain time since there is no communication to rtorrent but this is unavoidable, and I prefer to manage my seedbox manually anyway and it doesn't take long. Apart from that it is pretty much all automated, you just need to add your content and it will be grabbed. Expect to run into some errors/problems for the first couple of weeks but once it's running smooth it will be well worth the effort.

Source: Internet I Am Just Sharing A Useful Info, Total Credits Goes To "Brad Chacos". Let's just rip off the Band-Aid and get the bad news out of the way: The standard version of Windows 8 won't include Windows Media Center or the ability to play DVDs by default. Wait! Put down those pitchforks, home theater PC enthusiasts. Microsoft's ill will toward media support and optical discs is really an opportunity in disguise. Now you have every reason to check out VideoLAN's VLC media player, a versatile app that does much, much more than Windows' baked-in alternative. VLC streams files from the Internet, streams files to the Internet, manages podcasts, captures webcam videos and, yes, plays DVDs. Blu-rays, too. And that's just the tip of the iceberg. Simply put, VLC is the power user's media player of choice. Unfortunately, VLC's deep array of powerful options can also be a bit intimidating at first glance. What do all those buttons and menus actually do? This guide will catch you up to speed on the basics, show you how to watch your favorite movies and Internet streams, and then close with some fun tips and tricks to help you get the most out of this free VLC player. More than just a DVD player DVDs aren't the only physical discs that VLC can read: standard audio CDs, VCDs and SVCDs all play without a hitch as well. Experimental Blu-ray disc support was added early in 2012, but the Blu-ray encryption system can make that experimental playback more miss than hit. If VLC refuses to play your favorite HD disc, installing these hush-hush files (at your own risk!) should help for older Blu-rays with AACS encryption, or you could rip the movie to your hard drive using MakeMKV (more on that later) and watch it as you would any video file in VLC, by selecting Media > Open File. Speaking of opening files, OGG and FLAC fans will be happy to hear -- literally -- that VLC supports almost any file type you throw at it, including ISO disc images. VLC also plays movies and music from the Internet or over your local network via the Media > Open Network Stream command. Media > Open Capture Device displays input from webcams or TV tuner cards so that you can save, stream or just plain view the feed. Capture screenshots from videos Like the HTC One X, VLC includes a fun feature that lets you easily take screenshots from a video. Just select Video > Snapshot to save a picture of an individual frame. Screenshots save to your Pictures folder by default, named "VLC-(date and time)". Adjust the options in Preferences > Video > Snapshot if you want VLC to dump screenshots somewhere else. Stream podcasts and Internet radio VLC is no one-trick pony: The media player sports several audio options that can help you manage your podcasts or find something new to listen to. Click View > Playlist to bring up the playlist view, then click on the Internet option to reveal a large number of listening options -- including hundreds of Internet radio stations from around the world. The best part? They're all free. If you want to track your favorite podcasts, simply click the gray plus button next to the Podcasts option and enter the URL for the RSS feed of the podcast you want to stream. Change how VLC looks with customizable skins The look of VLC won't impress anybody out of the box; it's as plain vanilla as a piece of free downloadable software can be. Like a mullet, however, that bland demeanor hides a world of awesome possibilities, as VLC lets users change the look of the media player with the help of custom skin files. Simply download an appealing skin from the VLC website, then head into Tools > Preferences > Interface. In the Look and Feel portion, select the Use custom skin option and point VLC toward your saved .vlt skin file. Dozens of different skins are available, some vastly more appealing than others. Transcoding files with VLC Not all programs or outside A/V sources handle ASV1 and other esoteric file types as well as VLC. Fortunately, VLC can help you skirt that annoyance; this media player is a basic media converter, too! Transcoding existing media files into a different format doesn't take much effort. Click Media > Convert/Save, click the Add button, and select an audio or video file to convert. If you have a subtitle file for the film, check the box and select that, as well. Next, press Convert/Save, then click Browse and choose where you'd like to save the new version of the file. Name the file, being sure to manually give it one of the file extensions listed in the Save as Type field, such as .mpg, .mov, .ogg or .wav. Make sure the extension matches the file type you're converting; an audio extension won't work well if you're converting a video, for instance. You can play around with the audio/video codec details in the drop-down box in the Settings area if you so desire, but unless you have a specific reason to use another file type, I'd suggest sticking to the default MP4 profile for video and MP3 for audio, as they're widely supported formats. The VideoLAN wiki contains useful information about codec types. Transcoding veterans can fine-tune the audio/video codec combinations even further by clicking the Edit button (represented by an icon of a screwdriver and wrench) to the right of the drop-down box. Once everything looks good, click Start and prepare to wait--transcoding video is an intensive task that can take a long, long time depending on your setup. The gray area: copying DVDs, Blu-rays and Internet streams with VLC Note that the Convert/Save options also let you handle streams from network sources and webcams or copy media from physical discs. Saving content you find on YouTube or wherever else on the Internet isn't always legal, so make sure you have the right to do so before you begin. Likewise, make sure you're only making backups of physical discs that you actually own. The actual process of copying discs is fairly straightforward, however. Open Media > Convert/Save again, but instead of adding files in the File tab, click Disc to select a disc to rip. Afterward, the transcoding options are the same as with a straight file-to-file conversion, and, yes, copying a disc takes a long time. If, on the other hand, you want a straight-up copy of the original files on the disc, just check the Dump Raw Input box. Copying DVDs and audio discs shouldn't be an issue, but ripping Blu-rays can occasionally be an exercise in frustration. If you run into problems, MakeMKV is a great Blu-ray-ripping resource that can handle modern BD+-encoded Blu-rays and older AACS-encoded Blu-rays alike. Saving webcam and Internet streams is simple, but the methodology is a little different than with physical media. Open the file using Media > Open (Network Stream or Capture Device), but rather than hitting Play, click the arrow to the right of it and select Stream from the list. Identify the source, press Next, then make sure the destination is set to File, and fiddle with the transcoding options the same way you would when saving a DVD or doing a file-to-file conversion. One final note: You can capture the video you're watching at any time by simply clicking the Record button. To add the Record button to the toolbar, click View > Advanced Controls. Transform your videos into ASCII art Let's close things out with a bit of fun: VLC can translate video into ASCII art consisting of nothing but numbers and letters. Why? Who knows? It's pointless, but fun. To get the alphanumeric party started, select Tools > Preferences > Video. Then, click the drop-down box next to Output (in the Display section) and select Color ASCII Art Video Output. Now, just start a new video and enjoy the text-based show. Be sure to change the output back to Default when you're done! These tricks only scratch the surface of what VLC can do. Advanced users can set the VLC player to stream video to the Web, batch encode files based on their extension, capture only the audio track from a DVD, access movies from other computers on your network, and more. Check out VideoLAN's incredibly helpful wiki and forums for more tips, tricks, and help with any issues you may run into.

A private tracker gives numerous advantages to its users , in addition to increasing the level of privacy thereof . One of the major benefits include a larger selection of files , faster downloads , files with higher quality , and strong communities . They are called private because they regulate who is allowed to use the site - it's an exclusive community . Have numerous advantages , but also have some rules , regulations and difficulties . Not just anyone could be a member of a community of a private tracker . It takes up a large and strong dedication in most communities . And usually have strict rules about what you can and can not do once invited to be a member . What does being " Private " ? A bitorrent tracker , for those who do not remember , is a server that regulates communication between those who download and those who upload torrents . The final factor Bitorrent a private tracker is to be selective with who gets in and can use the site . Unlike public bitorrent sites that anyone can do a search and download torrents , private trackers require that you be invited by another user , or to create an account to be able to use it . If you do not know anyone with one, sometimes you need to go through an intense interview To get an invitation account ( trade or sale of invitations is strictly prohibited ) . Additionally , there are often rules of how to use the site . These may include and not be limited to: ****. Rules to do with ratio : You need to have a certain amount of having to upload to download ratio , which means you can not simply download the torrents and delete them - You need to seed them for others to download them also . Some sites banish you if you have a low ratio , some restrict what you can do on the site , how to upload torrents , make requests or invite other users . ****. Rules to do with invitations Users you invited reflected in you , and if they are bad for the community , can look bad to the community ( in some cases , you can be banned ) . ****. Rules to do with upload : If you upload files to your site , they need to have a certain level of quality , format , and / or have a certain organizational structure . Where in most bitorrent sites may have a hodgepodge of disorganized files , private trackers are usually much more organized and quality . These rules vary from site to site , but is a general idea that can tell if enveredares the world of private trackers . There are many good trackers out there, some devoted to certain categories , or just music, or just series , movies Europeans , Asians , etc. independent films . There are then the more general that best fits the Confidencialpt . What's in this? Sounds like a lot of work to be part and use a bitorrent site , is not it? Well , you get what you " paid " for it in this case . Due to these rules, many benefits and advantages gained , which include (again , not limited to) : ****. A fantastic selection of torrents : The majority of sites pride themselves on the vast selection of files to be engaged . In fact , in many cases , it is hard not to find something they do not have . ****. Files of great quality : Very sites have a high standard of quality , and if you do an upload of a torrent that will not meet them , it is deleted . ****. Downloads incredibly fast : Because the community is so great to sow , and because many of them have fast internet connections , you have crazy speeds on private trackers comparably to public trackers . ****. Greater privacy : Because its rules are so strict and they refer to less " traveled " sites , it is very unlikely that there is someone peeking everything you do download. ****. A great community : Users of private trackers are very helpful and help answer questions , maintain files with seed, and even make uploading torrents that you have made a request. Should I use one? At this time , only you yourself can answer that question . Stroll through our site and see for yourself if you feel the call . Read our rules , faq and see if you can handle it . You feel that you know enough about Bitorrent see fit to how the site works and maintained? Can you post what you did download the torrents seeding ( ie , leave your computer on all day, or get a head seedbox ) ? If you see that it is too much for you , I recommend you do not you will join a tracker , but if you're in the mood and you intend to take this seriously , if you want files with excellent quality and good speeds, even private trackers can be fantastic !

Cam - labeled Camrip and cam : Common; Quality issues make this an unpopular format. A copy made in a cinema using a camcorder or mobile phone. The sound source is the camera microphone. Cam rips can quickly appear online after the first preview or premiere of the film. The quality ranges from terrible to very good, depending on the group of persons performing the recording and the resolution of the camera used. The main disadvantage of this is the sound quality. The microphone does not only record the sound from the movie, but also the background sound in the cinema. The camera can also record movements and audio of the audience in the theater, for instance, when someone stands up in front of the screen, or when the audience laughs at a funny moment in the movie. Telesync - labeled TS and Telesync : Very common. A copy shot in an empty cinema or from the projection booth with a professional camera mounted on a tripod, directly connected to the sound source. The professional camera source is then synchronized with audio source fed directly from the cinema's sound system, or captured from an FM radio transmission intended for hearing-impaired customers. Often, a cam is mislabeled as a telesync. Workprint - labeled WP and workprint : Very rare. A copy made from an unfinished version of a film produced by the studio. Typically a workprint has missing effects and overlays, and often differ from its theatrical release. Some workprints have a time index marker running in a corner or on the top edge; some may also include a watermark. A workprint might be an uncut version, and missing some material that would appear in the final movie. Telecine - labeled TC and telecine : Fairly rare; losing popularity due to R5 releases. A copy captured from a film print using a machine that transfers the movie from its analog reel to digital format. These were rare because telecine machines for making these prints were very costly and very large. However, they have recently become much more common. Telecine has basically the same quality as DVD, since the technique is same as digitizing the actual film to DVD. However, the result is inferior since the source material is usually a lower quality copy reel. Telecine machines usually cause a slight left-right jitter in the picture and have inferior color levels compared to DVD. Pay-per-view rip - labeled PPV and PPVrip : Common. PPVRips come from Pay-Per-View sources. All the PPVRip releases are brand new movies which have not yet been released to Screener or DVD, but are available for viewing by hotel customers. Screener - labeled SCR, DVDscr, BDscr : Very Common. These are early DVD or BD releases of the theatrical version of a film, typically sent to movie reviewers, Academy members, and executives for review purposes. A screener normally has a message overlaid on its picture, with wording similar to: "The film you are watching is a promotional copy. If you purchased this film at a retail store please, contact 1-800-NO-COPIES to report it." Apart from this, some movie studios release their screeners with a number of scenes of varying duration shown in black and white. Aside from this message, and the occasional B&W scenes, screeners are normally of only slightly lower quality than a retail DVD-Rip, due to the smaller investment in DVD mastering for the limited run. Some screener rips with the overlay message get cropped to remove the message and get released mislabled as DVD-Rips. Digital Distribution Copy - labeled DDC : Common. A digital distribution copy (DDC) is basically the same as a Screener, but sent digitally (FTP, HTTP, etc.) to companies instead of via the postal system. This makes distribution cheaper. Its quality is lower than one of a R5, but higher than a Cam or Telesync. R5 - labeled R5, R5 line : Very Common. The R5 is a retail DVD from region 5. Region 5 consists of the Indian subcontinent, most of Africa, North Korea, Russia and Mongolia. R5 releases differ from normal releases in that they are a direct Telecine transfer of the film without any of the image processing. If the DVD does not contain an English-language audio track, the R5 video is synced to a previously released English audio track. Then a LiNE tag is added. This means that the sound often is not as good as DVD-Rips. To account for the lesser audio quality typically present in R5 releases, some release groups take the high quality Russian or Ukrainian 5.1 channel audio track included with the R5 DVD and modify it with audio editing software. They remove the non-English spoken portion of the audio and sync the remaining portion, which contains high quality sound effects and music with a previously recorded source of English vocals usually taken from a LiNE tagged release. The result of this process is an almost retail DVD quality surround sound audio track which is included in the movie release. Releases of this type are normally tagged AC3.5.1.HQ and details about what was done to the audio track as well as the video are present in the release notes accompanying the pirated movie. The other regions are: R0 No Region Coding R1 United States of America, Canada R2 Europe, including Turkey, Egypt, Arabia, Japan, Israel and South Africa R3 Korea, Thailand, Vietnam, Borneo and Indonesia R4 Australia and New Zealand, Mexico, the Caribbean, and South America R5 India, Africa (except Egypt, South Africa, Swaziland, and Lesotho), Russia and former USSR countries R6 Peoples Republic of China R7 Romania R8 Airlines/Cruise Ships R9 Expansion (often used as region free) R1 and R2 are considered the best quality. DVD-Rip - labeled Dvdrip : Very Common. A final retail version of a film, typically released before it is available outside its originating region. Often after one group of pirates releases a high-quality DVD-Rip, the "race" to release that film will stop. The release is an AVI file and uses the Xvid codec (earlier DivX) for video, and mp3 or AC3 for audio. Because of their high quality, DVD-Rips generally replace any earlier copies that may already have been circulating. Widescreen DVDs used to be indicated as WS.DVDRip. DVD-R - labeled DVDR, DVD-Full, Full-Rip, DVD-5/DVD-9 : Very Common. A final retail version of a film in DVD format, generally a complete copy from the original DVD. If the original DVD is released in the DVD-9 format, however, extras might be removed and/or the video re-encoded to make the image fit the less expensive for burning and quicker to download DVD-5 format. DVD-R releases often accompany DVD-Rips. DVD-R rips are larger in size, generally filling up the 4.37 or 7.95 GiB provided by DVD-5 and DVD-9 respectively. Untouched or lossless rips in the strictest sense are 1:1 rips of the source, with nothing removed or changed, though often the definition is lightened to include DVDs which have not been transcoded, and no features were removed from the user's perspective, removing only restrictions and possible nuisances such as copyright warnings and movie previews. HDTV or DS Rip - labeled DSR, HDTV, PDTV, TVRip, HDTVRip : Very Common. TVRip is a capture source from an analog capture card (coaxial/composite/s-video connection). Digital satellite rip (DSR) is a rip that is captured from a non standard definition digital source like satellite. HDTV or PDTV or DTH (Direct to Home) rips often come from Over-the-Air transmissions. With an HDTV source, the quality can sometimes even surpass DVD. Movies in this format are starting to grow in popularity. VODRip - labeled VODrip, VODR : Common. VODRip stands for Video-On-Demand Rip. This can be done by recording or capturing a video/movie from an On-Demand service such as through a cable or satellite TV service. Most services will state that ripping or capturing films is a breach of their use policy, but it is becoming more and more popular as it requires little technology or setup. There are many online On-Demand services that would not require one to connect their TV and computer. It can be done by using software to identify the video source address and downloading it as a video file which is often the method that bears the best quality end result. However, some people have used screen cams which effectively record, like a video camera, what is on a certain part of the computer screen, but does so internally, making the quality not of HD quality, but nevertheless significantly better than a Cam or Telesync version filmed from a cinema, TV or computer screen. BD/BRRip - labeled BDRip, BRRip, Blu-Ray : Very Common. Similar to DVD-Rip, only the source is a Blu-Ray disc. A BD/BRRip in DVD-Rip size often looks better than a same-size DVD rip because encoders have better source material. A common misconception among downloaders is that BDRip and BRRip are the same thing. They differ in that a BDRip comes directly from the Blu-ray source, while a BRRip is encoded from a pre-release, usually from a 1080p BDRip from another group. BDRips are available in DVD-Rip sized releases (commonly 700 MB and 1.4 GB) encoded in Xvid, as well as larger DVD5 or DVD9 (often 4.5 GB or larger, depending on length and quality) sized releases encoded in x264. WEB Rip - labeled WEB-Rip, WEBRIP : Common, WEB-DL is preferred. This is a rip by capturing a movie from a screen using a service like Hulu. For this reason the quality is often not optimal, but still suitable for small screen devices and often comparable with low quality XVID movies. WEB-DL - labeled WEBDL, WEB DL : Common. This is a movie downloaded via an on-line distribution website (web download) like Amazon or iTunes. The quality is quite good since 1080p downloads are available most of the time. Release groups often don't like these uploads, because they can be done by "amateurs" with no release history. For most users there will be nothing to notice, while some advanced users will notice a less logical coding. For example: a lot of the uploaded high quality WEB-DLs are XVIDs and not x264 MKV files, while x264 is used more often for high quality movies like 720p and 1080p releases. An advantage with these releases is that they mostly have no logo's in screen, just like BD/DVDRips

This is a non-exhaustive list of terminology commonly used throughout the private BitTorrent community. Many obvious ones (such as "torrent") have been purposely omitted. I threw this together rather quickly; if you know of any others, please drop us a comment, and I’ll add ‘em to the list. Adopt (a torrent): Some sites have an ‘adoption system’ for torrents. This ensures that a torrent will always have at least one seed, and adopters are often rewarded with credit. Axx: Short for ‘account’ or ‘accounts’ - as in private accounts. Eg.: If you have an account at TorrentLeech and BitMeTV; then these are your axx. Bad Invite: You’ve given an ‘invite’ to someone who has done harm to the site, usually H&R related. In extreme cases, your account may also be deleted as some sites have zero-tolerance on this. Other sites have no policy on this whatsoever, and others may have a limitation on how many bad invites you are allowed to give (as is the case with FinBytes - which will allow 2 bad invites before disabling your account as well). Bonus System: See ‘Point System’. Buffer: The measure (in GBs) of how much more data you’ve uploaded, in comparison to downloaded. Eg.: An axx with 400 GB downloaded and 500 GB uploaded means there’s a 100 GB buffer on the account. The higher the better. Buffered accounts always have a ratio higher than 1.0. Buffered Account: This can refer to any account that has a buffer on it. In trades & giveaways, a ‘buffered account’ is typically one that a member has spent a great deal of time and effort to ensure there’s a good buffer on it. Class / Class System: See ‘User Class’. Credit System: See ‘Point System’. Dead (Torrent): A torrent that no longer has any seeders. The possibility of completely downloading the files in a dead torrent is highly unlikely, especially on private trackers. DL: Short for ‘download’. Featured Torrents: Some trackers offer a ‘Featured Torrents’ section that contain torrents with special (and favourable) UL/DL rates. For example, Underground-Gamer offers their ‘featured’ with 125% up / 75% down. This is helpful in building a good sharing ratio. Freeleech: Freeleech is a promo offered by a private site - usually specific to individual torrents. It means that you can download that torrent without any ratio changes to your account. Torrents that are tagged ‘freeleech’ will not count against your ‘download’ ratio, but will count positively towards your upload ratio. A freeleech promo may also consist of everything on the tracker (i.e. A "Freeleech Weekend") whereby everything is available as freeleech (not just specific torrents). Freeleech does NOT mean you do not have to follow the H&R rules. It simply a way to help you maintain a better ratio. You can & will be warned if you H&R a freeleech torrent - this includes freeleech slots also. Freeleech Slot: Some sites offer its members a ‘freeleech slot’ that can be used on any torrent that is not already listed as freeleech. In short, it grants freeleech to a non-freeleech torrent. This promo is most beneficial when used on large torrents (i.e. ‘packs’). Grabbed / Snagged / Snatched: The number of times a torrent has been downloaded - useful for judging the popularity of a release or torrent. HnR / H&R (or Hit’n'Run): When someone deletes the torrent as soon as it completes, without seeding it (regardless of the ratio). HnR’s are highly frowned-upon, as they’re counter-productive to sharing and the health of the torrent. A great way to get banned from a private tracker. Different sites have different rules about H&R - this means that just because you seeded a torrent to 2:1 in a half an hour and then killed it, it may still be a H&R because you deleted the seeding torrent too quickly. Invite(s): An invitation to a private tracker. Invites are often given to existing private site members who show outstanding qualities, such as a good ratio. These invites are then free to give out to whomever you wish via email notification. Invite System: Refers to a tracker that actively hands out invites to its members. Some do not have an ‘invite system’ (such as **** and FTN) and thus remain a ‘closed community’. Others will periodically disable the invite system until membership is brought down to an acceptible level by tracker standards. IRC Idle (points): Many trackers give out free upload credit to members who are sitting in their IRC channel. Usually this is awarded as an hourly figure - eg. 1 MB per 1/2 hour IRC idle. IRC (Pre) Channel: This is the place where they ‘announce’ new additions to the site. Great place to hang out if you’re looking for the latest torrents. Some sites even offer an ‘IRC Autodownload’ script that connects to a BitTorrent client - latest releases are automatically added as they’re announced. You can use it either by using an IRC-client (mIRC, xChat) or by the tracker’s Java-based Live Chat (in the browser). Karma: Or ‘Karma Points’ - this is a unique modification to a points/credit system for members of a private site. See ‘Point System’. Leech / Leecher: A leecher is someone who hasn’t finished downloading the torrent, and still remains in the swarm. It can also be a negative connotation for someone who doesn’t share a torrent to a minimum 1:1 ratio. Packs: A ‘pack’ is a large release that is usually specific to just that site. It is generally known as a special collection of releases that is grouped together in the same torrent. Eg.: A "Stephen King" pack may consist of some (or all) of his movies. Some trackers are notoriously known for them, and may even offer them as freeleech. Passkey: In order to prevent private torrents from being uploaded to public sites (in effect turning it into a public tracker), there are a number of security measures in place. One of them being passkeys. A unique passkey is assigned to each member of a private site and is incorporated into each torrent. It identifies your account in relation to the torrent, and it’s also used in gathering your UL and DL traffic statistics. Some sites will allow you to change your own passkey manually; others require that you explain the reason for the requested change. Pay To Leech: This is associated with making a ‘donation’ to a site, in order to gain upload credit or other buffering. It’s sorta like cheating (by not having to actually upload to maintain a good ratio). The BitTorrent community has mixed emotions to this, although it is generally frowned upon when done in laziness. While donating itself is never a bad idea, the motives behind it are questionable when done only as a means to leech the torrents. By and large, pay-to-leech may be good for the tracker, but it does nothing for the community. Love it or hate it, pay-to-leech ‘upload credit’ is very beneficial to new accounts. In the beginning, it is normally more difficult to upload, and this solves that problem - a small donation will often set the account in the right direction. If you’ve finally found yourself inside a really great private tracker that you’ve been dying to get into, but find it’s in jeopardy of being deleted because you can’t upload, then consider donating to save it. After that you can start to build up a good buffer. PM: Short for ‘Private Message’ - these can be found in your inbox. Most sites support a ‘PM’ system for its members. PM’ed - you were sent a PM. Eg.: If you jump in class, you’ll be PM’ed by a site admin to notify you of your elite status. Point System: Many private sites incorporate a ‘point system’ or ‘credit system’ for its members. Points can be earned by: being ‘repped’; being active on the site or for forum contributions; a good sharing ratio (usually higher than 1:1); filling a request or uploading a torrent; seeding; hanging out in IRC, etc. Points can be spent in the ’store’ (or similar) for improving your account by purchasing: VIP access; invites; upload credit; freeleech slots; even gambled with other users. A point system is almost always implemented uniquely to each individual site and specifically customized. Some will do this as "karma" or karma points. Members can also lose points for negative feedback. Pre’s: When a release group pre’s a release, it will be available for other people and the distribution will start. Simply put, when something is pre’d, that is when the life cycle for it begins. Pre-time: Often there’s a message that accompanies a new torrent and it looks similar to this - "Uploaded 4 mins, 54 secs after pre". Since proper ’scene releases’ are not directly pre’d on BitTorrent sites (normally it’s done on IRC), there’s always a waiting period before it arrives even on the most elite private trackers. This "pre-time" means it took almost 5 minutes for the tracker to offer the release as a torrent. The shorter the time, the better. And 5 minutes is a damn-good pre-time! It goes without saying that pre-times vary greatly between private trackers - some are closer to the pre’s ’source’ than others, and are thus notoriously known for great pre-times. Promos: In private tracker jargon, a ‘promo’ is a special offering within the site. Promos may consist of freeleech, 2X upload, or other perks - usually for a limited time. A promo is also known as a promotion in ‘user class’. Promotion: A jump up in ‘user class’, usually by way of a good sharing ratio and/or time on the site. A promotion in class may or may not include extra site features, such as the ability to view the Top Ten list or NFO files; automatic invites; or user points. Proof: Found on tracker invites & swapping forums, particularly during giveaways. Proofs usually consist of a speedtest and current ratio on a private tracker. Both of these will prove that you’ll be able to handle the account maturely and professionally. Pruned / Pruning: In private site jargon, a pruned account is one that has been deleted, usually due to inactivity on the tracker. Normally, accounts are regularly ‘pruned’ (usually somewhere between 4 - 8 weeks of inactivity) to make room for new memberships to people who will actually use the accounts. PU: Short for ‘Power User’. Typically it’s a ‘class’ that is one rung higher than the default ‘User Class’. Ratio: The most important statistic to any private account. It’s the measure of uploaded data vs. downloaded. Eg.: An account with 400 GB downloaded and 500 GB uploaded is a 1.25 ratio. Rep: Reps are known as ‘reputation points’ - a system for giving praise to other members, commonly found on forums. If someone has helped you out by answering your question adequately or by giving you an ‘invite’, be sure to rep him/her. Reps are common on tracker invite BBs & forums. RSS Downloading: Most sites support RSS feed downloading, and there’s usually a post about this in the tutorials/help forums. Slot Restrictions: Similar to ‘Wait Time’ restrictions - this is a limit imposed on new accounts (or delinquent ones) whereby the member is only allowed to have "X" number of active torrents simultaneously. Scene Releases (only): Or, Scene Material (only). These trackers only deal in proper ’scene releases’ - most are also considered 0Day trackers. Seed: Typically it’s the number of how many people have completed a torrent, and are now sharing it. There are two types of users in a torrent - seeds and leechers. Together, they make up the ‘peers’ in a torrent. Seed/Leech Ratio: The number of seeds to leechers, usually shown as a percentage in the statistics section for a tracker. If there’s 20 seeders to every 1 leecher, the ratio would be 2000%. In most cases, a higher percent makes for faster downloads, although it also makes it more difficult to upload. Seedbox: A seedbox is BitTorrent jargon for a dedicated high-speed server used explicitly for torrent transfers; more specifically - for uploading (seeding) at high rates. Seeder Bonus: Some trackers use a Seeder Bonus system to offer credits/points for members who simply have the torrent seeding in the BitTorrent client (regardless of if it’s uploading data or not). It’s a great way to increase upload ratio. Typically, seeder bonus awards are ‘0.5 credits per hour of seeding’ - although this varies from site to site. Signup(s): The process of registering with a private tracker. A tracker that is ‘open for signups’ is open to new members. When signups are closed, the tracker may only be accepting new membership through invite only, or not at all. Superpacks: A very large ‘pack’. These may include the entire collection of releases for a release group. Eg.: A ‘Diamond’ superpack may consist of everything that the Diamond RG has ever come out with - all in one torrent. See ‘packs’. TorrentFlux: A very popular and powerful BitTorrent client that runs on a web server - most common usage is through a seedbox. Many seedbox services include the TorrentFlux "GUI" with the account - torrents can easily be managed remotely through the web-based interface. Tracker Level: Private BitTorrent sites are categorized using a number of criteria. The higher the level, the more difficult it is to gain access to. Criteria may include: Number of invites given out; rarity; number of site members, etc. A "level 1 tracker" would be considered ‘low-level’ and easy to get into; a "level 10" near impossible. UL: Short for ‘upload’. As is ‘UL Credit’. Upload Credit: A site ‘promo’ whereby users can spend points/credits for certain perks - in this case ‘upload GBs’. Upload credit can often be purchased by way of donation, and is sometimes frowned upon (but never discouraged by a private site) and considered ‘pay to leech’. User CP: Or ‘User Control Panel’ - this is where the member’s options can be changed (user profile). User Class: A method of classification for private tracker members. Most sites employ a ‘class system’ to categorize the value of members to the site/tracker, based on contribution. Generally, users who have better sharing ratios are generally rewarded with a jump in class. Class systems are unique to each site, as are the governing rules for class promotions. Some are more lenient than others - some are more strict. Wait Times : Many trackers employ a ‘wait time’ restriction for new members - this ensures there are fewer H&R’s. TL is one example - new users will have to wait 48 hours before a torrent becomes active (and that’s after it has been added to the BT client, not 48 hours after joining the site). 0-Day / 0-Sec: 0-Day means someone has access to a release within a day after it was pre’d, but usually the time is much shorter than a day. 0-Day Tracker: A private BitTorrent site (tracker) that offers mostly 0-day releases. Most private sites are technically considered 0-day trackers, since most are able to get proper scene releases within the same day. But when a tracker is referred to as an "0-Day Tracker", the general consensus is that they’ve got some close scene connections and actually offer the releases as it happens. ScT is a good example of this. 2X Upload (2Xup): Or ‘Double Upload’ - this refers to when a site offers double the upload statistics for a particular torrent. These are useful when trying to increase a ratio. Some sites may even offer brief time periods where everything is 2X or double. A similar (but uncommon) example is 4X upload.

A good tracker requires you to upload what you download. This guide explains many of the methods involved with keeping on top of this sometimes difficult task. Get On A Torrent Early : Once a torrent has a ratio of more seeders to leechers it can often be difficult to get a decent upload speed. Going through your trackers recently uploaded list, try to find a torrent that has a high number of initial leechers (or possibly one that could be popular), start downloading and you should be uploading instantly. This method is generally more effective with a fast internet connection or Seedbox as with a slower connection you may not be able to upload a substantial amount before it has an abundance of seeders. Port Forward : Port forwarding is key to enabling other users to connect to you in order for you to upload. By forwarding ports you give easier access to the data that you have downloaded and connects you to your peers. Portforwarding is a simple process, but varies depending on your computers and routers settings. Suggested ports range from 49152-65534 to bypass program conflicts and remember to change your torrent clients configuration to the forwarded port. Cross Seeding : Cross Seeding involves re-seeding already downloaded data. By either downloading an identical file from another source (i.e. a tracker that you already have a high ratio on) or obtaining it locally you can use already obtained data to seed to another identical torrent which only tracks upload bandwidth as nothing was effectively 'downloaded'. Get A Seedbox : A Seedbox is a private dedicated server which is used for downloading and uploading data, using a remote torrent client. Seedbox's work by downloading and uploading the data on their own servers, generally at speeds of 100Mbit/s or higher. By using Seedbox's in conjunction with early torrenting, the data will be downloaded at high-end speeds and uploaded tenfold. Data is then stored on the servers which can then be downloaded through an FTP server. Click Here For "PulseMedia Seedbox Details 'n TI Specials". Check Your Torrents Rules : Getting a decent ratio isn't always hard or bandwidth consuming. By checking your trackers rules, you may find that some have a 'timing' rule. What this means is by staying on a torrent and attempting to seed you will after a certain amount of time be given the remaining upload data just for the dedication of staying on the torrent. Most high-end trackers have this or a similar feature so update yourself on the rules. Throttle : Throttling is the means in which you change the configuration of your torrent client to only download at the same speed you upload. This guarantees a ratio of greater than one is kept, but is only recommended if a decent internet connection is available or you are at risk of having your account disabled. Partial Downloading : Partial downloading consists of downloading only a certain number of files from a multi-file torrent and uploading. By changing the priorities on the files located within a torrent, specified downloads can be 'skipped'. Doing so, only minimal amounts are downloaded and uploading is prioritized. Freeleech : Freeleech torrents can be found on most trackers. A torrent (or in cases entire sites) may be specified as 'freeleech' for a certain time, occasionally permanently, and any data downloaded does not count towards usage, but uploading does. A Small Notes : 1. This won't work if your tracker has "wait times" where new users are forced to wait a certain time before they're allowed to download files. 2. Always check your trackers rules, some forbid this method. Also, identical is key here, if it's not the same it won't be recognized and you won't be able to upload. 3. Be sure to check your torrents rules, as this method can get you a warning or your account disabled. Source: Internet.

A seedbox is a private server used for the uploading and downloading of digital files. Seedboxes generally make use of the BitTorrent protocol for uploading and downloading and are usually connected to a high speed network, often with a throughput of 100 Mbit/s or even 1 Gbit/s. Some providers are testing and offering 10 Gbit/s shared servers, while others are developing other systems that will allow users to scale their needs. Files are downloaded from the torrent site and its users, and from there they can be downloaded at high speeds to a user's personal computer via the HTTP, FTP, SFTP, or rsync protocols. This allows for anonymity and, usually, removes the need to worry about ratio. Seedboxes can run on most major operating systems (Windows, Linux, or Mac OS X). More expensive seedboxes may provide VNC connection, or remote desktop protocol on some Windows-based seedboxes, allowing many popular clients to be run remotely. Other seedboxes are special purpose and run a variety of torrent specific software including web interfaces of popular clients like Transmission, rTorrent, Deluge, and μTorrent, as well as the TorrentFlux web interface clients. Mobile interface support is also offered by clients such as Transmission. Seedboxes on high speed networks are typically able to download large files within minutes, provided that the swarm can actually handle such a high upload bandwidth. Seedboxes generally have download and upload speeds of 100 Mbit/s. This means that a 1 GB file can finish downloading in under two minutes. That same 1 GB file can be uploaded to other users in the same amount of time, creating a 1:1 upload:download ratio for that individual file. Seedboxes' ability to transfer files so quickly makes them very attractive to the P2P and BitTorrent communities. Because of the mentioned high speeds, seedboxes tend to be popular inside private torrent trackers, where maintaining an upload/download ratio above 1 can be very important. Seedboxes are also used to circumvent speed throttling by Internet service providers. There are two types of seedbox: 1) Server, old PC, NAS connected box which is separate to a person's main PC and is connected to your own home connection. The advantage of this type of setup is that you can use your main PC for other things. The concept of a home seedbox is based on the amount of time you keep a torrent running 2) Rented server based in the datacentre of a hosting company. The advantage of this setup is that the datacentre will have an extremely fast connection to the internet. Generally your server will have a 100mbit (or increasingly these days a 1/10gbit connection). This guide is primarily focused on this type of seedbox which is known as a 'remote seedbox' (The concept of a remote seedbox is based on the amount of speed you can attain in terms of both upload and download) Types of servers These are primarily sold by companies to people hosting websites. Shared Hosting: This is the most basic type of hosting used for websites. Normally you get access to a control panel and FTP access to upload your files. Some hosts also offer SSH access which gives you some more options. Generally you can only run php based bittorrent clients on these servers. Dedicated server: The word 'dedicated' basically means that you get access to an entire server of your own. You have full access to the server OS and can install any programs you like. Co-located server: Similar to a dedicated server except that instead of renting the actual server from a hosting company you buy your own and ship it the datacentre where they connect it to their network. You then pay for bandwidth/electricity/etc. We wouldn't recommend this type for a seedbox as the initial costs are high, bandwidth allowance on a co-located server is usually less & more expensive than dedicated (The reason for this is that most customers do not use all of their allowance with a dedicated server but colo customers do hence the bandwidth cost to the provider is higher for colo customers leading to higher pricing/less inclusive bandwidth) and it limits your options for upgrading. Virtual Private Server: Commonly abbreviated to VPS/VDS (or semi-dedicated) - this is designed for people who need more than shared hosting but don't need/want to incur the cost of a full dedicated server. The hosting company will split a dedicated server into parts (virtual machines) using VMWare/Xen/etc. and sell each one to a different customer. i.e. if the original server has 1000GB of space and they split it into 10 equal parts each person will get 100GB disk space. The experience is usually very similar to using a dedicated server but with less resources and less cost. Shared seedboxes/seedbox slices: In recent years as seedboxes have become more popular some companies have started selling servers designed for use as a seedbox rather than for webhosting. - Some are just VPS's - Some are VPS's with torrent/FTP/etc. clients already installed - Some are just dedicated servers - Some are just dedicated servers with torrent/FTP/etc. clients already installed - Some only give you access to the torrent client's web UI and ftp download (i.e. you do not have direct access to the OS) Cloud Hosting: One of the problems with Dedicated Servers/VPS is that you have fixed hardware (dedicated hardware can be upgraded but you will have downtime). A cloud server is basically a Virtual Machine except that it has redundancy and scalability. Redundancy - if the server your website is running on breaks down within seconds your Virtual Machine can be loaded and running on another server. Scalability - you can quickly and dynamically add Disk Space, RAM, CPU to your server good for fast-growing websites which need to upgrade often. IP Addresses: Most providers offer more than 1 IP address. It can be useful to have more IP addresses if you want to run other services on the server to keep them separate from your torrent activities. Getting torrent files onto the server: 1) Log into the website using a browser on the seedbox 2) Download at home and upload via FTP 3) Upload through a torrent client webui 4) Run some type of rss/auto-download script on the server or at home Accessing the files: Ultimately you will want to get the files that you have seeded on the server from the server to your home PC. The most common way of doing this is to install an FTP server on the seedbox and use an ftp client on your home PC. Windows FTP servers: Filezilla Server, Serv-U Linux FTP servers: VSFTPd, Proftpd, glftpd, Pure-FTPd Windows FTP clients: FTPRush , FlashFXP, Filezilla client Linux clients: Filezilla client, gFTP, KFTPGrabber, lftp (You can also use something like SCP/WinSCP to download from a linux server using your SSH login details) You may wish to use ftps (encrypted ftp). You can also use this in reverse to transfer files from home to the seedbox. Anti-virus: Most servers don't come with AV and most people don't install one. Support: In terms of software/OS support most good hosts will give you some help but it isn't really their job unless you are paying for a managed server. Hardware - they will replace failed hardware free of charge (unless it is a co-located server) on a 'best effort' basis i.e. when they have the time to do it. Hosting Companies exist primarily for selling services for the use of webhosting - however these servers can be used for many other purposes as well such as torrenting. Generally these companies own datacentres or rent space inside one. For legal reasons they do not advertise themselves as seedbox provides but on the whole don't mind if you use them as a seedbox. In fact some companies have grown a lot thanks to people buying their products as seedboxes. If they receive a DMCA complaint about your server they will generally forward it to you and just ask you to delete the material in the notice. Seedbox companies - these companies buy servers from the above companies and then resell them to the seedbox market. Features include pre-installed clients and guides for torrenting this makes them attractive for a first seedbox. However they may be less reliable than hosting companies. Duration of Contract: Most hosts will have monthly/3-monthly contracts. Though you can usually get discounts/no setup fee by signing up for longer periods. Once you don't want to use it anymore just give notice, pay anything due and it should stop working on the day the notice ends.

The software on your seed box is capable of streaming video to your PC, even without unraring. Requirements: 1. The video being played must be 100% completed, you do not need to unrar. 2. You must have enough bandwidth to match the peak rate of the file. ie. A file with an average bit rate of 10mbps might have a peak of 15mbps. Your network must be reliable and error free. If your bandwidth falls below the video bit rate, even for a few seconds, the picture may freeze or playback stops. Installation: You need to install the XBMC software on your PC. XBMC has versions for Windows and Linux as well as other operating systems. Both Windows and Linux versions have been tested and work well with our service. Download XBMC here h**p://xbmc.org/download/ NOTE: If you are using SpeedBoost service (ie. your seedbox url is username-sb.seedunlimited.com) You should use the server address username-sb.seedunlimited.com instead at step 6. Configuration: 1. Install and run XBMC. 2. Select Videos from the main screen. 3. Click Add Source. 4. Click Browse. 5. Scroll down to the bottom and click Add Network Location 6. Configure the following: Protocol: Web Server Directory (HTTPS) Server Address: username.seedunlimited.com Remote Path: /downloads/ Port: 443 Username: your seed unlimited username Password: your password 7. Click OK 8. Scroll back up, you should see the entry you just added in step 6, click on it. 9. You should now see a list of files on your seed box, just click OK. 10. Enter a name for the server, this can be anything you like. 11. Click OK. You can now open XBMC at any time and goto Videos and you will see the server listed under the name you entered in step 10 above. Select any video from the list to begin playback, you will notice XBMC lists the name of the file inside the rar file and not the name of the rar itself. It can take upto 1 minute for video playback to start while it is buffering. Hope this is easy enough to follow, copied derect from XMBC.

Seedboxes are dedicated servers for file hosting, most commonly used for sharing and distributing files with others through FTP, or file transfer protocol, and other clients. If you need to organize your files or move your data to a new server, you can transfer files between seedboxes with an external FTP client, regardless of your hosting server. Instructions: 1. Open your FTP client, such as FlashFXP, FTPRush or SmartFTP. 2. Click "Tools" and select "Site Manager." Create a "New Site." 3. Enter the information for your first hosting server. You will need the hosting address, username and the password for the account. 4: Create another new site for your second hosting server. Enter your login information for this account, as well. 5: Connect to both servers. Your log should indicate a successful connection, or any problems encountered with the server or inaccurate login information. 6: Locate your seedbox directory within each server, using the internal browser windows to navigate the server's directories. Drag and drop the files from one server to the other to begin the FXP, or file exchange protocol, process. Source : Internet

pm me your ratio proof + gmail

just looking for Filelists.ro i can show good ratio proof, speedtest many thanks!!

10. VimeoVimeo is most certainly second seat to YouTube when it comes to size and popularity, but it’s still a great video upload service for short film and independent filmmakers and for people who want the freedom and flexibility of a mobile-friendly, HD-capable upload service with great privacy and video management controls and an upbeat community of users.For those folks just looking for something great to watch, Vimeo’s Staff Picks is full of gems that run the gamut from drama to documentary to science fiction and back again. Best of all, you can either grab the Vimeo mobile apps to take your movies with you, or stream Vimeo films directly to your TV through your Chromecast, Roku, Xbox, or Apple TV.9. Public Domain TorrentsIf you’d rather download than stream, Public Domain Torrents is the place to go. As you’d expect, a number of the films available for download there are pretty old, or classic cinema, but that doesn’t mean they’re not completely free to download and watch whenever you want, as often as you choose.Best of all, many of the films here are available in versions that are optimised or encoded for specific mobile devices, or you can just grab the highest quality download and do the encoding yourself, it’s up to you.8. WatchDocumentary.orgIf thoughtful or informative movies are more your speed, WatchDocumentary.org is one good resource. Start by diving into the site’s many many categories, from documentaries on political assassinations and world conflicts, then move to money and business, science and travel documentaries.The site doesn’t always host the documentaries themselves though — they use a Flash-based player to pipe movies to and through their site so you can watch them and they offer an Android app if you’d like to cast or take films on the go.Still, the catalogue is deep and worth exploring if you’re in the mood for something educational and thought-provoking. Oh — and keep in mind that “documentary” doesn’t always mean “factually correct” it just means “intended to be non-fiction”.7. TopDocumentaryFilmsTDF, is another great documentary site — and probably one that’s a little more up to date with more recent films. Like WatchDocumentary.org, the site has loads of documentaries broken up by category, from war and global conflict and crime to health and environment.It’s a little easier to navigate and the site has a community of users who provide ratings for each film and can comment on them so you have an idea of what you’re in for before you watch. If you’d like a starting point, check out their top 100 documentary list to see what people are watching, or check the front page for their featured films.Like other documentary sites, they’re a bit more of an aggregator, and their content is pulled from YouTube, Vimeo, and other sources — but that also makes it a convenient one-stop shop for what you want to see.6. Classic Cinema OnlineIf the name doesn’t give it away immediately, Classic Cinema Online is ideal for those old, classic movie buffs who love the era of black and white films and artistically painted movie posters. Classics like Gregory Peck’s Moby Dick and the original Lone Ranger film are among some of the site’s highlights, but if you dive deeper you can find treasures like the 1952 Mutiny and the 1932 Secret of Dr. Kildare, among others.If you’re looking for something specific, you can sort by category using the menu in the upper right, check out the serials available, or just check out the old, super classic silent films from the menu up there too. If you love old movies the Golden Age of Hollywood (or just look back on it with rose coloured glasses from time to time,) this site is for you.5. PopcornFlixWith thousands of free TV shows and movies, and names and titles you’ll probably recognise, PopcornFlix is owned and operated by Screen Media Ventures, an independent distributor of TV shows and media to the television market — which means they have the rights for a great deal of shows.The service prides itself on the fact that none of its programs or movies are more than two clicks away and they’re all completely free to watch on your computer, or through their mobile apps or other supported devices.Their distribution rights mean you’ll find full National Geographic series catalogues, so you can catch up on episodes of Wild Justice or Alaska State Troopers, or sit back and watch Inspector Gadget or Rugrats Gone Wild.4. MoviesFoundOnlinecollects free films, independent films, stand-up comedy, TV shows and other media freely available around the web. From full films to indie TV series to classic film, you can browse the site’s categories across the top — like short films, documentaries, viral videos, or comedy to name a few — to find something you’re interested in specifically.It’s worth pointing out that since MoviesFoundOnline doesn’t upload or host the media themselves, some of it may wind up vanishing if there’s a copyright claim, but they do host a lot of great, freely available and difficult to find movies and TV recordings that would otherwise fall by the wayside of time.3. CrackleOwned by Sony (which is why there’s so much to watch), Crackle is often overlooked when people discuss free streaming media on the web, but it’s present on a number of mobile devices and set-top boxes. You do have to sign up for an account, but once you do you can create a watchlist, get recommendations on what to watch based on the things you like, and browse the full library of TV shows and movies, including Comedians in Cars Getting Coffee and Sports Jeopardy!, or TV series’ like Firefly and Seinfeld.That’s part of the beauty of Crackle — you’ll absolutely find movies you’ve heard of, shows you actually want to watch, and more, and it’s all free — as long as you’re willing to watch commercials and ads occasionally.2. YouTubeNo list of freely available TV shows and movies would be complete without YouTube and not because of the sheer volume of ripped and pirated media available there — in fact, YouTube is home to many free movies and TV shows, many of which are YouTube originals and others that are available via Creative Commons or shared in the public domain.Many YouTube originals are vanishing behind the paid curtain of YouTube Red, but there are still plenty to be found and lots of entertaining shows and movies — and channels to subscribe to. For example, the Paramount Vault channel is packed with free movies and that’s just the tip of the iceberg.1. The Internet ArchiveIs a repository for all sorts of things, and while you probably know it for the ever-useful Wayback Machine, it’s also great for public domain films, independent media, TV broadcasts and newsreels and other media that you’re free to use and remix on your own as well as sit back and enjoy for yourself.There are plenty of movies, organised by category like sci-fi, horror, or film noir, but also art films, educational videos and films, special collections that were made available to the Internet Archive for posterity, documentaries and even stock footage. It’s not the most easily browse-able, or organised for non-computer screens and good luck getting that video on a bigger screen unless you download it first, but it’s certainly a treasure trove.

A new study from researchers working out of the Western Sydney University and King’s College London has claimed that court ordered website blocks by UK broadband ISPs, such as those used against Internet piracy websites, could be open to abuse.Copyright Holders have for several years been able to harness Section 97A of the Copyright, Designs and Patents Act 1988 to secure mandatory “blocking orders” against copyright infringing websites, which must be enforced by the major ISPs (e.g. BT, Sky Broadband, Virgin Media, EE and TalkTalk).However the new paper again reminds us that such blocking is largely ineffectual unless every country in the world does it and even then it can be easily circumvented, such as through the use of Virtual Private Networks (VPN), DNS changes, HTTPS or Proxy Servers etc.On top of that the paper warns that, in the EU context at least, “not only does the implementation of the blocking injunction fall short of due process requirements, but also the legal basis for the remedy in the context of enforcing trade mark rights is questionable.” One particular concern is raised with regards to how the operators of such sites are effectively excluded from proceedings, although it’s equally fair to say that anybody running a haven for copyright infringement probably won’t turn up to court.Report Extract:“Notably, neither of [the] domestic provisions under which the High Court typically exercises jurisdiction in granting blocking injunctions provide that the operators of the online locations sought to be blocked be made party to the application before the court. Thus, a common feature in the series of cases leading to blocking injunctions in the copyright context … is that only the ISPs who were called upon to block the target online locations were before court and not the operators of the online locations in issue. [M]ost orders to-date have been granted after consideration of the applications on paper alone. Essentially, what this means is that the court is only possessed of the material submitted by the rights-holders, which go uncontested by the ISPs, leaving the interests of the operators of the target online locations completely unrepresented. What must be emphasised is that, in future, there may be instances where the operator of an online location has a plausible defence to a claim of IP infringement. In the circumstances where the court is only privy to the pleadings and documentary evidence submitted on behalf of a right-holder, the court’s discretion may become the subject of abuse.”Apparently the manner in which the relevant EU directives are implemented means that even site operators who could be identified and notified, which is very rare, don’t have to be informed of the proceedings under the law. The UK does apply a safeguard that allows such operators to join the case, but the lack of a notice requirement under the law may “render this safeguard, at best, useless.”Mind you nobody seems to dispute that the sites being targeted aren’t anything other than platforms for facilitating mass copyright infringement and so far there have been no clear examples of abuse by Rights Holders. Meanwhile ISPs and Rights Holders continue to count the ever rising costs of imposing such blocks in the first place...

Kim Dotcom has confirmed to TorrentFreak that he has a brand new cloud storage site under development. After an extended planning period, the entrepreneur says the platform will be his best creation yet. It could launch next January with a name that "will make people happy."With multiple legal cases underway in several jurisdictions, Kim Dotcom is undoubtedly a man with things on his mind.In New Zealand, he’s fighting extradition to the United States. And in the United States he’s fighting a government that wants to bring him to justice on charges of copyright infringement, conspiracy, money laundering and racketeering.After dramatically launching and then leaving his Mega file-hosting site following what appears to have been an acrimonious split, many believed that Dotcom had left the file-sharing space for good. But after a period of quiet, it now transpires that the lure of storing data has proven too much of a temptation for the businessman.In a follow-up to previous criticism of his former company, earlier today Dotcom took another shot at Mega. That was quickly followed by a somewhat surprising announcement.“A new site is in the making. 100gb free cloud storage,” Dotcom said.Intrigued, TorrentFreak spoke with Dotcom to find out more. Was he really planning to launch another file-sharing platform?“I can say that this year I have set things in motion and a new cloud storage site is currently under development,” Dotcom confirmed.“I’m excited about the new innovations the site will contain.”When pressed on specific features for the new platform, Dotcom said it was too early to go into details. However, we do know that the site will enable users to sync all of their devices and there will be no data transfer limits.For the privacy-conscious, Dotcom also threw out another small bone, noting that the site will also feature on-the-fly encryption. Given the German’s attention to security in recent years, it wouldn’t be a surprise if additional features are added before launch.“Eight years of knowledge and a long planning period went into this. It will be my best creation yet,” Dotcom told TF.A potential launch date for the site hasn’t been confirmed but the Megaupload and Mega founder is currently teasing the hashtag #5thRaidAnniversary, suggesting that his new project will launch in January 2017, five years after the Megaupload raids.Of course, we also asked Dotcom if he’d decided on a name for his new cloud-storage site. Typically he’s playing his cards close to his chest and leaving us to fill in the blanks, but he hinted that an old name with a big reputation might be making a comeback.“The name of the new site will make people happy,” he told us.TF will be getting a sneak peek at the site when it’s ready for launch but in the meantime, readers might be wondering what has happened to Dotcom’s censorship-resistant MegaNet project.“Mobile networks and devices still have to catch up with my vision for MegaNet and it will probably not be before 2018 until a beta goes live,” Dotcom concludes.source TorrentFreak.com

"The leak is confirmed. The copy of the movie is available on the darknet and soon it will be available on torrent," Daily Mail Online quoted cybercrime expert Deep Shankar as saying."Many websites have been blocked since Tuesday evening and links are removed immediately after uploads," another cyber investigator, Kislay Chaudhary, told the daily.However, Yash Raj Films (YRF) has denied the news about "Sultan" being leaked online. Some cyber experts have also commented saying that there are no active links."Great Grand Masti has been definitely leaked, but no active links of Sultan's censor copy can be found online. However, sources are saying that there has been a leak and that the movie was available for sometime but was pulled down immediately," cyber security expert Nitish Chandan said.Earlier, the censor copy of the adult comedy, "Great Grand Masti" was leaked online on Monday, two weeks before its release. The pirated print has "censor board copy" written on it and was available on torrent since Monday.

The UK Government's Digital Economy Bill, which is set to revamp current copyright legislation, has been introduced in Parliament. One of the most controversial changes is the increased maximum sentences for online copyright infringement. Despite public protest, the bill increased the maximum prison term five-fold, from two to ten years.uk-flagLast year the UK Government announced a plan to increase the maximum prison sentence for online copyright infringement to ten years.The current maximum of two years is not enough to deter infringers, lawmakers argued.The plan followed a recommendation put forward in a study commissioned by the UK Intellectual Property Office (IPO) a few months earlier.This study concluded that criminal sanctions for online copyright infringement could be increased to bring them into line with related offenses, such as counterfeiting.Before implementing the changes the Government launched a public consultation, asking for comments and advice from the public. But, even though the vast majority of the responses urged the authorities not to up the prison term, lawmakers decided otherwise.As a result, a new draft of the Digital Economy bill published this week extends the current prison term from two to ten years. The relevant part amends the Copyright, Designs and Patents Act 1988, and simply replaces the word two with ten.The new bill was unveiled in Parliament yesterday where it passed its first reading. If adopted in its current form, it allows courts to hand out tougher sentences.The small but impactful change (3)https://torrentfreak.com/images/digec.png Copyright holders have lobbied for this update for a long time. According to them, harsher penalties are needed to deter people from committing large-scale copyright infringement, something the Government agrees with.“The Government believes that a maximum sentence of 10 years allows the courts to apply an appropriate sentence to reflect the scale of the offending,” the Government explained previously, adding that the maximum sentence will only be applied in rare cases.This means that casual file-sharers are not likely to end up in prison for a decade. However, organized groups that systematically offer pirated files, such as Scene or P2P release groups, are likely to be punished more harshly.One of the motivations to up the sentence for online piracy is to bring it on par with counterfeiting. Interestingly, however, both were already equal when they were first adopted.When the Copyright, Designs and Patents Act was first introduced both counterfeiting and piracy carried a maximum sentence of two years. Following industry calls the counterfeiting sentences were increased in 2002, and now the piracy side has followed the same path.https://torrentfreak.com

ruTorrent RSS Syntax Understanding naming schemes / tags Naming schemes (the name of the torrents and files) are usually quite standard, though they may differ in some ways. Typically the torrents have the following naming sheme:show.season#episode#.title.source.format.releasegr oup.extensionSo some typical shows would look like this:The.Simpsons.S21E04.Treehouse.of.Horror.XX.HDTV.Xv iD-FQM.avi CSI.New.York.S06E05.720p.HDTV.X264-DIMENSION.mkv Family.Guy.S08E03.720p.WEB-DL.DD5.1.AVC-CtrlHD.mkvLet's explain everything from left to right...The show name is the first thing you will see in most all torrents. Not much to explain here.The season and episode number show which specific episode this is. Typically this is displayed as S##E## with a leading 0. However, sometimes people label them as S21E04, S1E5, 1x05, or even 2102. I will show you below how to catch all of these.The title is optional. This is where files really differ. Unless you only want to download one specific show, you would use wildcards to ignore the title if there is one.The source is very important. Here is a list of the most common sources and a very brief definition.HR - High Resolution (may not be considered a source but sometime precedes HDTV)HDTV - High Definition TelevisionPDTV - Pure Digital Television (not considered quite as good as HDTV)DVD - Digital Video DiscWEB-DL - Web Download; means it was ripped from a website.DSR - Digital Satellite Rip (does not necessarily mean good quality, usually in 480i)TRANSPORT - A high quality format that allows for error correction when transmitting, usually in1080i.PREAIR - Usually a leaked file, before the actual air date.The format is usually one of three codecs, and is also given away by the file extension.XviD/DivX (.avi) This is the most popular format of choice. It is usually a small file size.x264 (.mkv) This is the high quality format of choice. It is usually a large file size.transport (.ts) This is a redundant format and is extremely large.Now, where files differ; you may or may not find the following information in the torrent. Also a lot of times the source and format will be swapped or only show one or the other.Now there is one more tag that I have yet to mention. This one is used when a torrent is re-released and is usually re-released well after everyone has already downloaded and watched their show. It is generally a good idea to avoid these since most people have no interest in using their ratio to redownload a show. These include the following: reencode, recode, repack, proper, and rerip.Syntax in Theory. Wildcard standing for any single character.* Repeats the preceding character 0 or more times.? Repeats the preceding character 0 or 1 time.+ Repeats the preceding character 1 or more times.//i Everything between the forward slashes will be searched for and the i makes everything case insensitive.^ Means that the following text must be the first thing in the file name. Using this can be the difference between downloadingDesperate.Housewives or House.() Groups evaluations. Once grouped, you can treat the group as a single character. For example, using the ? to show the word the can either be there or not: (the[\.])?[] Matches one character of whatever is inside. Can also be used for ranges. For instance, for a number you would use [0-9].[\] Everything after the backslash will be escaped. (e.g. special characters)| Or, matches one or the other on either side. Example: (its|it's)(?##) Anything between the pound symbols will be treated as a comment. I suppose this may be useful if you have extremely complicated filters.Filters and Inclusion SyntaxHere are some filter examples:/^(the[\.])?simpsons.*(s)?21(e|x)?[0-9]+.*(hdtv|pdtv)/i/^csi[\.](new[\.]york|newyork|ny).*(s)?(06|6)(e|x)?[0-9]+.*(hdtv|pdtv)/i/^family[\.]guy.*(s)?(08|8)(e|x)?[0-9]+.*(hdtv|pdtv)/iEverything between the / and the /i will be case insensitive. So it will match The.Simpsons, SIMPSONS, or the.simpsons.The ^ shows that the following must be at the very beginning of the line. As mentioned above, thiswould be the difference between downloading Desperate.Housewives or House.[\.] Matches an actual period. Since a period is a special character it must be escaped. If you were to place a normal . it would work, however it would technically match ANY character, not just a period. Some may prefer this so that they would catch a space or a period, however I have not run acrossmany torrents that use spaces, so this has not been a problem for me.(the[\.])? Using this makes the word the optional so it will be possible to download files with names starting with both The.Simpsons andSimpsons.((its|it's)[\.])? Using the preceding two principles above, this would allow you to match either its, it's, or neither (but nothing else) so you would match the following: Its.Always.Sunny.In.Philadelphia., It's.Always.Sunny.In.Philadelphia., andAlways.Sunny.In.Philadelphia...* This references any number of wildcards, this is an easy way to skip over the title if one is included in the filename.(s)?(01|1)(e|x)?[0-9]+ (s)? means the S is either there or it isn't. (01|1) means that there must be a number here, it may be either 01or 1. The (e|x)? means that there may be an E or an X here but nothing else. [0-9]+ means that there will either be one or two numbers here, but no more or less.This would cover everything from S01E02, S8E02, 1x02, or 2010. This will also lower the chance of capturing torrents named such asThe.Simpsons.S01.DVDRip.5.1.x264-irie that may be released in your RSS feed but you would not want to download due to their enormous size. It is a good idea to use the specific season number to lower the risk of downloading old episodes as well.ExclusionsWell, we already know we want to avoid repacks and the such. You may also want to avoid smaller resolutions of your TV shows formatted specifically for an iPhone or a PSP. Sometimes a file has a larger audio stream that isn't compressed and makes the file larger such as ac3. Here is the exclusionfilter I use:/(hr[\.]hdtv|ac3|720p|1080i|1080p|dvdrip|dvdr|dvdr| psp|ipod|iphone|mp4|reencode|recode|rerip|repack|p reair|transport|web-dl)/i This basically means that if any of the strings between the | operators will not be downloaded.Filter Examples/^30[\.]rock.*(s)?(04|4)(e|x)?[0-9]+.*(hdtv|pdtv)/i/^90210.*(s)?(02|2)(e|x)?[0-9]+.*(hdtv|pdtv)/i/^((its|it's)[\.])?always[\.]sunny[\.]in[\.]philadelphia.*(s)?(05|5)(e|x)?[0-9]+.*(hdtv|pdtv)/i/^american[\.]dad.*(s)?(05|5)(e|x)?[0-9]+.*(hdtv|pdtv)/i/^americas[\.]next[\.]top[\.]model.*(s)?13(e|x)?[0-9]+.*(hdtv|pdtv)/i/^bones.*(s)?(05|5)(e|x)?[0-9]+.*(hdtv|pdtv)/i/^bored[\.]to[\.]death.*(s)?(01|1)(e|x)?[0-9]+.*(hdtv|pdtv)/i/^csi[\.]miami.*(s)?(08|8)(e|x)?[0-9]+.*(hdtv|pdtv)/i/^csi[\.](new[\.]york|newyork|ny).*(s)?(06|6)(e|x)?[0-9]+.*(hdtv|pdtv)/i/^californication.*(s)?(03|3)(e|x)?[0-9]+.*(hdtv|pdtv)/i/^castle[\.]2009.*(s)?(02|2)(e|x)?[0-9]+.*(hdtv|pdtv)/i/^criminal[\.]minds.*(s)?(05|5)(e|x)?[0-9]+.*(hdtv|pdtv)/i/^curb[\.]your[\.]enthusiasm.*(s)?(07|7)(e|x)?[0-9]+.*(hdtv|pdtv)/i/^defying[\.]gravity.*(s)?(01|1)(e|x)?[0-9]+.*(hdtv|pdtv)/i/^desperate[\.]housewives.*(s)?(06|6)(e|x)?[0-9]+.*(hdtv|pdtv)/i/^dexter.*(s)?(04|4)(e|x)?[0-9]+.*(hdtv|pdtv)/i/^dollhouse.*(s)?(02|2)(e|x)?[0-9]+.*(hdtv|pdtv)/i/^eastwick.*(s)?(01|1)(e|x)?[0-9]+.*(hdtv|pdtv)/i/^entourage.*(s)?(06|6)(e|x)?[0-9]+.*(hdtv|pdtv)/i/^family[\.]guy.*(s)?(08|8)(e|x)?[0-9]+.*(hdtv|pdtv)/i/^(flashforward|flash[\.]forward).*(s)?(01|1)(e|x)?[0-9]+.*(hdtv|pdtv)/i/^flashpoint.*(s)?(03|3)(e|x)?[0-9]+.*(hdtv|pdtv)/i/^fringe.*(s)?(02|2)(e|x)?[0-9]+.*(hdtv|pdtv)/i/^gary[\.]unmarried.*(s)?(02|2)(e|x)?[0-9]+.*(hdtv|pdtv)/i/^glee.*(s)?(01|1)(e|x)?[0-9]+.*(hdtv|pdtv)/i/^gossip[\.]girl.*(s)?(03|3)(e|x)?[0-9]+.*(hdtv|pdtv)/i/^greek.*(s)?(03|3)(e|x)?[0-9]+.*(hdtv|pdtv)/i/^greys[\.]anatomy.*(s)?(06|6)(e|x)?[0-9]+.*(hdtv|pdtv)/i/^heroes.*(s)?(04|4)(e|x)?[0-9]+.*(hdtv|pdtv)/i/^house.*(s)?(06|6)(e|x)?[0-9]+.*(hdtv|pdtv)/i/^how[\.]i[\.]met[\.]your[\.]mother.*(s)?(05|5)(e|x)?[0-9]+.*(hdtv|pdtv)/i/^law[\.]and[\.]order.*(s)?20(e|x)?[0-9]+.*(hdtv|pdtv)/i/^law[\.]and[\.]order[\.]svu.*(s)?11(e|x)?[0-9]+.*(hdtv|pdtv)/i/^legend[\.]of[\.]the[\.]seeker.*(s)?(02|2)(e|x)?[0-9]+.*(hdtv|pdtv)/i/^lie[\.]to[\.]me.*(s)?(02|2)(e|x)?[0-9]+.*(hdtv|pdtv)/i/^mad[\.]men.*(s)?(03|3)(e|x)?[0-9]+.*(hdtv|pdtv)/i/^medium.*(s)?(06|6)(e|x)?[0-9]+.*(hdtv|pdtv)/i/^melrose[\.]place[\.]2009.*(s)?(01|1)(e|x)?[0-9]+.*(hdtv|pdtv)/i/^merlin.*(s)?(02|2)(e|x)?[0-9]+.*(hdtv|pdtv)/i/^monk.*(s)?(08|8)(e|x)?[0-9]+.*(hdtv|pdtv)/i/^mythbusters.*(s)?(07|7)(e|x)?[0-9]+.*(hdtv|pdtv)/i/^ncis.*(s)?(07|7)(e|x)?[0-9]+.*(hdtv|pdtv)/i/^ncis[\.]los[\.]angeles.*(s)?(01|1)(e|x)?[0-9]+.*(hdtv|pdtv)/i/^nip[\.]tuck.*(s)?(06|6)(e|x)?[0-9]+.*(hdtv|pdtv)/i/^numb3rs.*(s)?(06|6)(e|x)?[0-9]+.*(hdtv|pdtv)/i/^one[\.]tree[\.]hill.*(s)?(07|7)(e|x)?[0-9]+.*(hdtv|pdtv)/i/^parks[\.]and[\.]recreation.*(s)?(02|2)(e|x)?[0-9]+.*(hdtv|pdtv)/i/^private[\.]practice.*(s)?(03|3)(e|x)?[0-9]+.*(hdtv|pdtv)/i/^psych.*(s)?(04|4)(e|x)?[0-9]+.*(hdtv|pdtv)/i/^sanctuary.*(s)?(02|2)(e|x)?[0-9]+.*(hdtv|pdtv)/i/^saturday[\.]night[\.]live.*(s)?35(e|x)?[0-9]+.*(hdtv|pdtv)/i/^smallville.*(s)?(09|9)(e|x)?[0-9]+.*(hdtv|pdtv)/i/^so[\.]you[\.]think[\.]you[\.]can[\.]dance.*(s)?(06|6|02|2)(e|x)?[0-9]+.*(hdtv|pdtv)/i/^sons[\.]of[\.]anarchy.*(s)?(02|2)(e|x)?[0-9]+.*(hdtv|pdtv)/i/^south[\.]park.*(s)?13(e|x)?[0-9]+.*(hdtv|pdtv)/i/^star[\.]wars.*clone[\.]wars.*(s)?(02|2)(e|x)?[0-9]+.*(hdtv|pdtv)/i/^stargate[\.]universe.*(s)?(01|1)(e|x)?[0-9]+.*(hdtv|pdtv)/i/^supernatural.*(s)?(05|5)(e|x)?[0-9]+.*(hdtv|pdtv)/i/^(the[\.])?amazing[\.]race.*(s)?15(e|x)?[0-9]+.*(hdtv|pdtv)/i/^(the[\.])?big[\.]bang[\.]theory.*(s)?(04|4)(e|x)?[0-9]+.*(hdtv|pdtv)/i/^(the[\.])?cleveland[\.]show.*(s)?(01|1)(e|x)?[0-9]+.*(hdtv|pdtv)/i/^(the[\.])?forgotten[\.]2009.*(s)?(01|1)(e|x)?[0-9]+.*(hdtv|pdtv)/i/^(the[\.])?good[\.]wife.*(s)?(01|1)(e|x)?[0-9]+.*(hdtv|pdtv)/i/^(the[\.])?office.*(s)?(06|6)(e|x)?[0-9]+.*(hdtv|pdtv)/i/^(the[\.])?sarah[\.]jane[\.]adventures.*(s)?(03|3)(e|x)?[0-9]+.*(hdtv|pdtv)/i/^(the[\.])?simpsons.*(s)?21(e|x)?[0-9]+.*(hdtv|pdtv)/i/^(the[\.])?ultimate[\.]fighter.*(s)?10(e|x)?[0-9]+.*(hdtv|pdtv)/i/^(the[\.])?vampire[\.]diaries.*(s)?(01|1)(e|x)?[0-9]+.*(hdtv|pdtv)/i/^til[\.]death.*(s)?(04|4)(e|x)?[0-9]+.*(hdtv|pdtv)/i/^torchwood.*(s)?(04|4)(e|x)?[0-9]+.*(hdtv|pdtv)/i/^trauma.*(s)?(01|1)(e|x)?[0-9]+.*(hdtv|pdtv)/i/^true[\.]blood.*(s)?(03|3)(e|x)?[0-9]+.*(hdtv|pdtv)/i/^two[\.]and[\.]a[\.]half[\.]men.*(s)?(07|7)(e|x)?[0-9]+.*(hdtv|pdtv)/i/^ugly[\.]betty.*(s)?(04|4)(e|x)?[0-9]+.*(hdtv|pdtv)/i/^(the[\.])?venture[\.](brothers|bros).*(s)?(04|4)(e|x)?[0-9]+.*(hdtv|pdtv)/i/^white[\.]collar.*(s)?(01|1)(e|x)?[0-9]+.*(hdtv|pdtv)/iCredit : drunkpitbull For RSS Download Tutorial - Using the RSS Downloader Plugin
