OK, so I don't like to download for various reasons. BUT... I just watched the last episode of Smallville season 4 and I gotta see the next episode!!

So, can anyone walk me through downloading? I downloaded bittorrent.com, but when I try to download a file, nothing happens...

Get a program called "Bitcomet" alternatively, get "Azureus" (they do the same thing)

Goto the three following websites

www.mininova.org
www.torrentreactor.com
www.torrentspy.com

Search for the files u want, the small file you downloaded will now auto open into one of the above proggies, and you'll have to wait a few hours. Then you can get ur next TV fix.

I recomend www.isohunt.com
one stop site to find anything
for the program, try bitcomet, available on www.download.com
Alternatively, pay 10.000 W and check out www.blueyoyo.com, VERY fast.

what's the format? I.e. After the name of the file, what does it say: AVI, MPEG, RAR, etc?

well, thats easy enough. Drag it into your video player. If you have any troubles with that not working, you may need codecs and all that crap. A work around is using KMplayer, which takes care of all the headaches for you. You can download that at... http://linux.softpedia.com/progDownload/Kmplayer-Download-2220.html

I reccommend downloading VLC (Video Lan Client) Media Player. It will play all files except real player ones, will never require codecs and is one of the most stable players I've found. Plus it is FREE! Very Happy

Google VLC Media player download and your set! Smile
