People ask me how I download TV shows so easily. I’ve written about it before, so if you still don’t understand, maybe Slyck’s Guide to BitTorrent will help!

I’ve switched from ZipTorrent to µTorrent. Scary looking, but it seems much better. I barely changed the settings. Beauty and the Geek S02E01, come to Bryan!

Can anyone point to a matrix comparing BitTorrent client software comparisons? µTorrent is getting some raves, but what about ZipTorrent? That one hasn’t been dugg yet. If something is better out there, then I certainly wouldn’t want to just put up with ZipTorrent (not that there’s anything wrong with it). Update: Aren’t I the smart [...]

BTSeasonPass makes it it really easy to see when your favorite shows get updated, without the clunky RSS interface in some of the BitTorrent programs out there. It’s also more intuitive because instead of slightly encryptic “S05E08“, it’ll say “Season 5 Episode 8“. Definitely awesome. (See also “The Poor Man’s Tivo“)

If you have a firewall/router, you’ll need to open up some ports to speed ZipTorrent downloads. The program refers to this page, but not all routers are alike. The image below is for a D-Link DI-614+:

Why do downloads reappear after I’ve deleted them already? Their torrent file is gone, and I’m not seeding them anymore. Answer: The torrents are kept in C:\Program Files\ZipTorrent\torrents

The Poor Man’s Tivo: BitTorrent. I wrote about BT back in May, but I’m just reiterating how cool it is. I don’t know who records the few TV shows I’ve been getting, either. I believe they’re in HDTV, but they’re without commercials and basically flawless. Thank you.
For the record, I’m using ZipTorrent now. It’s light-weight, [...]

Since I’m “playing” in this basketball league, I’ve been missing Alias for the past couple weeks. Luckily, btefnet (BitTorrent EFNet?) looks like an awesome site to get these past shows (right up to the latest episodes) using BitTorrent. I don’t care if it’ll take a couple hours, but I definitely should’ve started them last night. [...]
