Torrents General Info.

Most of the questions I get about torrents can be categorized into 2 parts- A) selecting which torrent to actually download and B) the myriad of file extensions.

So, what I will try here is answer the most common Questions:-

A) Selecting which torrent to download:-

I would suggest that you use the following guidelines when selecting which torrent to download:-

• Always check on the comments- ALWAYS.
• Always choose files with a lot of Seeders/uploaders
• Always download from reputed Torrent web sites such as mininova & newtorrents etc.
• Always bear in mind that axxo release is after the date of retail DVD release. (meaning if there is torrent claiming to be axxo  but the movie is very recent and imdb shows that its DVD is not available for sale- do not download)
• Always give preference to web sites which I listed in my previous post "Useful Links-Movies"

B) The File Extension Mayhem

For the sake of your sanity I would suggest that you download the following application. These 2 tools combined will open 70% of what you will generally download.

• WinRAR: For RAR  files and the ones with many small .rar parts and almost all types of compressed files
• PowerISO: for all ISO files and several other image files

Also, whenever you download some movie which asks you to download and install a specific player e.g. 3wm player some something. DELETE the file immediately and DO NOT install the software. It will contain tons of SPYWARES and Trojans.
