Downloading stuff

[Winmar]

I've got 6GB off peak downloads, which I never seem to use half of. I've never been much of a leecher, having been on dial-up until recently. I hate to waste it, so can anyone suggest some cool stuff I can download, or places to look for stuff?

I'm much the same. I have 3gig off-peak (midnight to 7am) which I normally never use.

I've now set up System Scheduler to start running uTorrent from midnight, downloading a couple movies and albums a month. Yes, it is stealing - but I don't care anymore.

I only learnt of my schedule thingy on bitcomet the other day, but I will wotrk it out soon enough, I NEVER use my 12Gb off peak from 12am to 12 pm, when I am on holidays in June, damn am I gonna use it up

if you are after music, go to google and type "band name album name" blogspot (with the quotation marks around the band and album names and blogspot outside of the marks) and you can generally find what you are after somewhere.

the albums are hosted on file hosting websites (usually Rapid Share) so you can only download a few/one at a time and may not be hosted any more depending on how long they they have been hosted for.

also recommend torrent sites like mininova.org but always check the comments to what may be virus/maloware/spyware carrier and if it still has seeds, needs a password to access it or tracker for the torrent.

other than that, simply type what you are after in a search engine and see what appears.

you can also waste heaps of bandwidth on youtube and other such programs.

they chew more then you realise.

good way to find old shows that you like and keep up with ones yet to reach us here in the Colonies.

I basically download shows that I'd be watching anyway, just to be able to cut out the ads and watch it when I want.
