A lot of my friends have been asking me about how to download movies through torrents. I always end up explaining the same thing over & over again. So I thought that Ill just write the whole thing down so that it can be a one time thing. Ill keep this real simple without talking about the P2P stuff & all the other unnecessary details. Let’s just make it real easy so that any beginner(like me) can start downloading quality movies without any hassles.
The 1st step involved is downloading a “client”. Now a client is like an agent, a sort of a middle man so to say between the movies & you. This client has to be downloaded & is in fact a simple but a very key step which decides how all your downloads will go about. Now there are a number of clients from which you can choose. According to my order of preference they would be:
I was a big fan of Vuze until recently but now u torrent is the leading client for various reasons. One is it is very lightweight, downloading it takes less than a minute & it has a very easy to use interface. I’ve given the links to all the 4 clients so you don’t have to go searching for them, just click on the names of whichever you want from above. Once you’ve done that save the file. Click on the saved file, RUN it which in turn will install it. There you’re done with it. Forget this for the time being.
Now coming to the fun part, the movies. Again if I give you the names of the major sites:
Now I don’t mind you choose any of these sites coz these are the very best. You can get virtually anything on these sites. All the sites have the same format. Click on any…. Again all the links are here so you can click on them here itself. Once you’ve entered the site, type in the name of the movie you want. You’ll get a whole lotta results. The trick now is to select the right one to download. Here’s how you can decide which ones to select:
- Torrents usually having the names Axxo, Klaxxon, Fxg are quality stuff, the very best you can get.
- Always check the comments…. These will tell you whether the torrent is worth the download. Go by the majority vote
- Check the seeders & leechers. Seeders are people who’ve already downloaded the entire movie & are sharing it , leechers are people who are still downloading the movie. Leechers share too.
See that the torrent you’ve selected has a good number of seeders. Once you’ve chosen the right torrent, click on download torrent, save it to your desktop. Right click on the saved icon & select the open with option & choose the name of the client you’ve downloaded. If you’ve downloaded u torrent, select open with utorrent & the movie starts downloading automatically for you! Enjoy your movies!

Heroes season 3 has come to an end & it has left me somewhat with mixed feelings. I was introduced to the show by one of my friends who was a huge fan at that time & even after the recommendation I must admit that I took a hellvua lotta time to actually start watching it since I always felt that the concept of the show didn’t make much sense to me. The whole concept who super humans didn’t quite appeal to me .But once I started watching the show I was absolutely blown over by it. The different characters with their unique “abilities” were just fascinating to watch. As with everyone I too just adored the character of Hiro Nakamura.I just could not stand the wait between the episodes. The 1st season was brilliant & the 2nd superb!
But the 3rd season was really disappointing for me. I’m not saying that it was horrible nor am I saying that it was so bad that I’ll stop watching the show….NO WAYS!!!! But I just felt the new idea of “giving powers” to normal people was going against the backbone of the show coz its always nice to think that the heroes were born that way right? Also there were sooooo many new characters… characters that were thought to be dead but somehow were alive; many new “abilities” which actually were interesting but some how were too much to take in since they were all given to irrelevant characters. The “save the cheerleader save the world” took a whole new meaning. But personally what really made me go crazy was the whole thing about going into the future & coming back to the present & then going back to the past…. That was what really confused me like hell & everytime it happened I got lost. But I did like the new twist where it was shown that Sylar had conscience too & it was the “hunger” in him that made him the way that he was. Also I loved the flash back episode showing the other half of the happenings to the stuff that was shown in the 1st season. It’s the episode no. 8 of season 3 simply titled “Villains” which I thought was the best episode of the season.
Now the news from the makers of the show is that the new season which will be aired soon will start afresh. According to them “the new audience who haven’t seen the show earlier need not go back & watch the previous 3 seasons to know about the heroes coz the new season will start as if it were a brand new show!” This is mainly been done to make up for the disappointment of the audience with the 2nd & 3rd season .Hmm…. It does seem to be that way having seen the way the VILLAINS(season 3) ended. I’m really happy VILLAINS ended & really looking forward to watching the new season FUGITIVES where of course Nathan Petrelli is the new villain

Valentines Day was such a bore despite of all the hype about the pink chaddis , the moral policing & what not. So at the end of the day I decided “why not at least watch a nice light hearted romantic movie” After all what better day to watch a romantic movie than on Valentines Day? .So I looked through my movie collection & found MUSIC & LYRICS, which I’ve been meaning to watch since a long time but somehow never managed to do so. So I decided that the day had finally come.
As you all know it’s a movie starring Hugh Grant & Drew Barrymore. The movie opens with a hilarious music video of the catchy number POP. It’s supposed to be a pop boy band from the nineties of which Hugh Grant is a member who call themselves POP singing their hit number POP he he… It’s all that simple! Right after the number the scene shifts to the present day where Grant is a “has been” coz the lead singer of the band ditched the group many years ago to launch a multimillion dollar solo career. It now leaves Grant trying to promote events, music albums of the new generation willing to compromise all his ideologies & passion for his music. Drew Barrymore is his “plant girl” who has problems of her own involving her past love life, who eventually turns his lyricist. Brad Garrett (from the EVERYBODY LOVES RAYMOND fame) plays the role of Grants agent who supports his career no matter what but at the same time pushing him to do small time events to bring in the cash flow.
As always Hugh Grant is brilliant playing his part, you can’t help but smile at his straight faced humor & his Elvis styled hip shaking dance is just too funny. Drew Barrymore is delightful & so refreshing to watch in every scene. I wish Brad Garrett who plays Grants agent had a bigger role coz he’s one of my favourites. For me the song “Way back into love” was simply amazing. It’s the core of the movie since the movie revolves round the making of the song & ends with the same. You got to listen to it for sure if you haven’t done that already. The movie actually ends even before you know it & somehow you are left wanting more. Its not a masterpiece by any stretch of imagination but the wonderful combination of words & melody (as Drew puts it in then movie) will make you smile. Don’t wait for a Valentines Day to watch it
ARE WE FREE???

Girls shouldn’t be visiting pubs, couples shouldn’t be holding hands, Hindu girls shouldn’t speak to Muslim guys, a guy & girl seen somewhere together should either be married or be siblings…….This is what the world has come to or rather what Mangalore has come to since its our world. We are supposed to be FREE people. We read it in our high school textbooks don’t we? “ India is one of the largest democracies in the world” We spend so much time studying all those things about democracy & being able to do whatever we want unlike a China , to grow up & be beaten up for trying to live what we studied back then!
Its come to a stage where people are genuinely scared! Forget going out with your girlfriend, now the youngsters fear even going out in a group inclusive of guys & girls…. The question we seem to be asking everytime is “do you think the beach is safe” , “is it ok to go to the mall”…..I mean A BEACH for Gods sake! What can be a more open place than a beach?
Today there is talk that the attacks on the girls at the pub was coz they weren’t following the “Indian culture” ….huh? Beating up women is “Indian culture” Oh yeah I guess it is just like those sari clad women at home who get beaten up by their drunk husbands for religiously following the “Indian culture”….Valentines day is just round the corner & we are scared that somethings might go wrong that day….ARE WE FREE???
