Latest TV Shows Torrents

Below are our fave TV series whose latest seasons started last month and this week. You can download them from EZTV @ Mininova (torrent links already provided) or at their official site.


Supernatural Season 4

We love this series, not just because the lead actors are gorgeous but because we love their storyline, the good versus the demons. You'll especially love this new season. We've already watched the first episode so we know you'll be intrigued. Too bad we have to wait for another week for the next episode.

Dancing With The Stars Season 7
Season 7 has started! We love the last winner, Kristi Yamaguchi. We hope this season will be as good as the last one. The only stars we know from Season 7 are Lance Bass from 'N Sync and Toni Braxton. We haven't watched this episode yet but we're downloading it now.

The Incredible Hulk, Meet Dave, Made of Honor, Forgetting Sarah Marshall

Here's another set of movies that we recommend you download. Screenshots of the rips are included.



The Incredible Hulk (2008)

We just finished watching it a few hours ago. If you watched the first Hulk movie and was disappointed, we can assure you that The Incredible Hulk will make up for it. Edward Norton and Liv Tyler fit the starring roles better than the first Hulk movie.

Meet Dave [2008]

We started hating Eddie Murphy after Norbit so we were hasty to download this. But we weren't disappointed. He was pretty funny on this flick about aliens visiting Earth. No, this is no typical alien movie. Just watch it!

Download Meet Dave [2008] DvDrip by FXG

* * * * * *

Made of Honor [2008]

The movie kinda reminded us of My Best Friend's Wedding but in a little predictable way. However, we still liked the movie. So, just download it.

Forgetting Sarah Marshall [2008]


We didn't expect that we're gonna love this movie. Really! While watching the beginning, we thought this is another loser-boy-gets-the-girl flick. But it wasn't! Be warned, though, because there are some X-rated (yes, not R-rated) scenes here.


Download Forgetting Sarah Marshall [2008] DvDrip by aXXo

* * * * * *

Here are other latest movies uploaded by aXXo and FXG that we liked and didn't. You might wanna download them too. Unfortunately, we don't have the movie anymore because we watched it like days and weeks ago.

Horton Hears A Who![2008]DvDrip-aXXo (loved it!)

You Don't Mess With The Zohan[2008][Unrated Edition]DvDrip-aXXo (blah! not funny)

Sex And The City-The Movie[2008][Extended Cut]DvDrip-aXXo (A better version. No looping so you might wanna download this one.)

My Sassy Girl[2008]DvDrip AC3[Eng]-FXG (Based on the Korean movie. A must-see!)

Hancock[2008]DvDrip[Eng]-FXG

Enjoy! And please don't forget to SEED!!

Ten Most Used BitTorrent Sites Compared by CompareBT

We have discovered this site:

http://comparebt.blogspot.com/

The main content of this blog, Ten Most Used BitTorrent Sites Compared, listed the top 10 torrent sites out there. Out of these 10, 4 of the sites we listed here made it to the list:
Mininova
Torrentz
The Pirate Bay
isoHunt

We also discovered this new torrent site, BTJunkie.org. It claims to have the largest number of torrents indexed. And this is the Editor's Choice of the author of CompareBT blog.

Well, we'll see if it's true. We see on BTJunkie.org's main page that the torrents there have a lot of seeders.

We'll post updates if download speed of torrents we got from BTJunkie.org are indeed faster than anywhere else.

Keep posted!

aXXo's Iron Man R1 DVDrip

We watched FXG's R5 DVDrip of Iron Man. And, 3 days ago, aXXo released his R1 rip of this movie.

We were too excited to watch the movie that we didn't heed to most of the comments on FXG's rip.

There's no sense downloading yet another rip of this movie since we've already watched and enjoyed it (although we didn't understand some part of it because of the hard-coded German subtitles on FXG's rip).

But, for everyone else, go ahead and download it:

Click here to download Iron Man [2008]DVDrip-aXXo torrent

Sorry, we don't have screenshots. But we can assure you it's a better copy than the previous one we featured here.

Enjoy! Don't forget to SEED!!

Alcohol 120% 1.9.7.6022 Retail

We've been using Alcohol 120% for ISO or virtual CDs that we need to run on our PCs. We prefer Alcohol 120% over Daemon Tools because it's easier to use.

We're going to show you how to install it properly. Before anything else...
Download Alcohol 120% 1.9.7.6022 Retail working installer

1. Unzip it to anywhere you want. Run Alcohol 120% 1.9.7.6022 Retail.exe.
Note: Your anti-virus might detect "Alcohol 120% Keymaker.exe" as a trojan. We can assure you that it isn't so you can simply ignore it.

2. The installer may ask you to restart so just go ahead and restart. Upon restart, Alcohol 120% will run automatically. It will then prompt you to enter a serial or key so just ignore or click on Cancel to close that window.

3. Follow these next instructions carefully to properly patch your installed Alcohol 120%:
  • Copy Alcohol 120% Keymaker.exe to the installation folder of Alcohol 120% (usually C:\Program Files\Alcohol 120%\)
  • Open Serial.txt and copy the WHOLE serial on it.
  • Run the keymaker. The serial you copied will be on the Code box.
  • Type in whatever you want on the Name and Email fields.
  • Click on Activate button.
  • Click on Register button.
  • Click on Patch Server Check [Optional] button.

4. That's it! Run Alcohol 120% and check if it's already patched properly. If it wasn't, just do step #3 again. It should run properly the next time around.

5. To add Virtual Drives:
- Run Alcohol 120%.
- Click on Virtual Drive under Options on the left side.
- Then, select the number of virtual drives you want.
- Wait for a few minutes and you'll have additional virtual drives so yo can load ISOs, MDF/MDS files.

Note: You'll need this on future installation tutorials posted here.

How to Install Warcraft III - DotA All-Stars Properly

How to Install Warcraft DOTA All-Stars Properly

We love DOTA All-stars! This is the most popular Battle.net game all over the globe, brought to us by Blizzard Entertainment.

We are playing it here over our local area network (LAN). We've got 4 PCs used by me, my 2 sisters and our li'l brother. We had issues installing it properly on our PCs so we're posting this installation guide for all wanna-be players out there.

This is how we installed the game. Now, if you have any questions, feel free to leave us a comment and we'll get back to you as soon as possible.

1. Click here to download Warcraft III - Frozen Throne torrent - use our recommended torrent applications

This is the installer that we used. Out of all the installers we found on Mininova, this is the only one that worked perfectly on all 4 PCs.
This may take a while but be patient. As of this writing, there are 90 seeds, 55 leechers. Better peer quantity than when we downloaded it so we guess it'll be faster for you.

2. We used Alcohol 120% to install this. Follow our installation instructions from our previous blog - Alcohol 120% 1.9.7.6022 Retail installation. Then, add at least 2 Virtual Drives.

3. The torrent you downloaded will contain these files:





4. First of all, load Warcraft III - The Frozen Throne [Disk3] -crack,patch,serial.iso on the first Virtual Drive. Go to the Serial folder and open the text file. You'll be needing the serial #s for installations of Reign of Chaos and Frozen Throne. Don't eject Disk3 until everything's finished.

5. Go the second Virtual Drive and load Warcraft III - The Frozen Throne [Disk 1].iso.iso. This will install Warcraft III - Reign of Chaos. Use the serial # from Disk3.

6. Once you've finished installing Reign of Chaos, load Warcraft III - The Frozen Throne [Disk2].iso on your second Virtual Drive. This will, then, install Frozen Throne. Again, use the Frozen Throne serial # from Disk 3.

7. After installation, go back to Disk3 and copy War3TFT_118a_English.exe from the Patch folder to your Warcraft installation folder. Then, run this patch file and wait for it to finish installation.
Important Reminder: You need to PATCH any installations of Frozen Throne first before applying any crack. If you happened to apply the crack before the patch, you have to uninstall and reinstall everything.

8. Afterwards, go to the Crack folder on Disk3. Copy and paste all the files here to your Warcraft installation folder. Overwrite everything.

9. You're done! All you need to do is run Frozen Throne.exe (create a desktop shortcut for easy access).

10. If you want to play DotA All-Stars, just download the maps from the following official website:
(with Heroes you can play against)
Latest version: 6.54b AI+ v1.52 (r2) by BuffMePlz

Download DotA All-Stars map from GetDotA.com
(no Heroes, just creeps you can play against)
Latest version: 6.54b, Stable map 6.52e

11. Unzip the .w3x files to:
Warcraft installation folder -> Maps -> Downloads (if you don't have this folder yet, just create one)

You're all done! You can now play DotA All-Stars!
If you're having problems with Battle.net, just leave us a message so we can help you.

You can visit these helpful sites to guide you in playing DotA All-Stars:

As of this writing, the latest Warcraft patch still has problems so we're still sticking to 1.18.
As soon as we get it to work on our PCs, we'll post the instructions here.
If you got it running on your PC and you want to share how you did it with us, send us an email at:

VLC Media Player

To enjoy watching movies and TV series, we use VLC media player. It's very light-weight and can play most commonly-used audio and video formats, and you can even play your DVDs and VCDs on it.

We were using Cyberlink Power DVD before because we were skeptical about VLC. We even enjoyed watching movies on Winamp because of the fast rewind and forward functions.

But, inspite of all, VLC media player is the best choice for us when it comes to enjoying our fave movies or TV shows because it's easy to use, and it supports most of the codecs used on DVDrips or releases out there.



If you're having troubles playing some movies because their codec is not yet supported by VLC, then we suggest you download the Combined Community Codec Pack from their official website.


New Movies - Sex and the City & Iron Man

FXG has uploaded 2 of the latest movies that we've been waiting for:

Sex and the City - Below are some screenies. We loved its series so we were excited to see it on FXG's torrents list. However, the comments on it were somewhat accurate. There were some scenes that looped but only one of them ruined the moment (we won't tell you when). So if you're as impatient as we were to watch this, then, go ahead and download the torrent below:

Quality rating:
Video: 8.5
Audio: 10


Screenies:



Iron Man - We weren't able to catch this on the big screen. We were a little bit glad we didn't coz the movie wasn't really that good as most people say. But the effects were really amazing.

Quality rating:
Video: 8.5
Audio: 10


Screenies:


We hope you enjoy them!


THANKS, FXG!

Best Torrents Sites (Part II)

Below are more specific torrents sites that are very reliable. They're the most updated torrents sites we could find.

Also, below, you'll find links to the list of torrents uploaded by the most popular and reliable uploaders in the Torrent world. So, enjoy!

EZTV is the most popular group of TV torrents uploaders on the web today.

On their website, http://eztv.it/, you'll find a huge list of TV shows/series that you can download and enjoy. We also enjoy their website's feature where you'll see updates on the status of the TV show, if it was cancelled or what. You can also check out their Mininova EZTV list.

ShareTV is another one of our recent discoveries. They also upload popular TV torrents. So, if you missed an episode of your favorite TV series, then, go to ShareTV.

* * * * * * * * * * * * *

MOVIE TORRENTS
We haven't tried any of the MOVIES torrent-specific websites (like Torrent Plaza) so we will just give you a list of the most popular and reliable uploaders that we know. Just click on their names and you'll be directed to their torrents page on Mininova.

  • FXG - They upload DVDrips of the latest movies. They're the most updated movie-torrent uploaders we know. However, some of their torrents may not have the quality you would like if you're going to burn them. But, for us, the quality is above-average.
  • aXXo - Almost everyone in the torrent world knows aXXo. He (or they) uploads DVDrips of movies as well. However, his list is not as updated as FXG's. Most probably because he waits for the actual release of the DVD and only then does he share it with the public. Most of the downloaders say that his DVDrips are real DVD rips. But "beggars can't be choosers" is our motto so if FXG first uploaded a movie that we've been waiting for, we download his torrent.
  • KLAXXON - Most of his torrents are old or not-so-popular movies. So if you don't find a title from aXXo or FXG, go check out KLAXXON's torrents.
  • Junpei86 - If you're into anime such as Naruto or Bleach, then, you'll enjoy Junpei86's torrents.
  • FXM - At first, we thought FXG and FXM are the same person (or group). But, they aren't. Most of the titles shared by FXM though can also be found on FXG's torrents list so that might confuse you.

* * * * * * * * * * * * *

GAME TORRENTS
Have you experienced enjoying a certain game just to be disappointed that the trial period has ended? Then, you'll love these uploaders:

Note: Most of the keygens for the torrents below will be detected as a trojan by some anti-virus softwares. Don't be afraid, though. We've tested their torrents already so they are reliable.
  • Adnan_Boy - He's got the most updated list of game torrents out there!
  • Indianboy - If you're looking for some old games, check his torrents. No updates, though, since August.
  • Honey_B_ - Another reliable game torrent uploader. Her list is also as updated as Adnan_Boy's.

* * * * * * * * * * * * *

There! We gave you a list of our fave torrents sites and uploaders. We hope you enjoy BUMMING out!

Don't forget to SEED and comment on the torrents that you've tried, okay?

Best Torrents Sites (Part I)

First of all, a warning to all. P2p (peer-to-peer) file-sharing is completely legal. However, there are a lot of files traded through P2P that are copyrighted. So, like what we said on our DISCLAIMER, download at your own risk.

There are many torrents sites out there. It's up to you which one you'll keep going back to. Some are clean, some with porn and annoying popups, some are way outdated. So, because of that, we're giving you our own list of the BEST torrent sites and search engines.


Mininova is one of the largest torrents site on the web today. It has more than 280,000 torrents indexed as of June 2008.

Mininova's site is very user-friendly and we believe it's the most reliable torrent site. It's now our main torrent site and so we'll be posting links to torrents from Mininova most of the time.

The Pirate Bay is the first torrent site that we've ever used. It is also one of the largest torrent sites. And from what we know, it is the most popular of all.

Be warned, though, as The Pirate Bay's site has porn ads. And this is the best place for you to download porn as well (we know you'll like that!)

Viewing torrent information on The Pirate Bay is easier because you'll see almost everything on one page. Mininova has tabs and separate pages for comments, contents/files in the torrent, etc.

Isohunt, for us, is one of the best torrent sites. Why? Because from what we've observed, our downloads finish faster because all the trackers that "announce" the torrent file all over the web are already in the torrents you'll download from their site.

Too bad they're closing down. You can read more on their main page. So use Isohunt while you still can.

Torrents Search Engines:
Search engines are websites that locate the torrents sites where a certain file/torrent can be found. If you can't find it on your fave torrent site, use these search engines and they'll find them for you. Below are the BEST torrents search engines for us:


  • Torrentz is our choice of torrents search engine. Although we encounter problems with it being down often, we love it's features such as giving you a list of trackers that have the torrent listed to help finish your downloads faster. It even gives you the trackers list on a format that you can easily copy and paste unto uTorrent's tracker list.


  • Torrent-Finder - We recently learned about this site and we're glad we did. It has a wider list of torrents sites where you can search the title you're looking for. For us, though, it takes time to load so we still stick to Torrentz.
For more information about torrents sites, we suggest you read the articles below:
About.com's "The Top 35 Torrent Sites of 2008"
About.com's "What Are The Best Bit Torrent Search Engine Sites of 2008"

REMINDER: Please find time to post comments on the quality of the torrents that you downloaded. This would help everyone else so as not to waste bandwidth for those who have limits with their ISPs.

Comments from those who downloaded the torrents are really helpful when choosing which one you should download. And, on this blog, we'll post screenshots of torrents of TV shows or movies that we downloaded so it will also help you decide if you're okay with the quality or not.
