Quiet Sunday

Computer Club was busy again yesterday with helping people with their laptops and computers.  One lady I was helping was after TV Series files.

To get your own downloads of files you need several things.  You need the links to see what is available, you need to know what is worth downloading and what isn't, and you need the bandwidth in your Internet Plan to give you the capacity to download.  If you have a 2GB plan, you only have enough to download 1 movie!  For any realistic downloading you probably need a minimum of 20GB per month.

I have re-jigged the right hand side of this blog with several new sections.  "Finding Good Downloads" lists 7 sites I visit daily just to see what is available.  I check both the movies and TV shows.

The 8th link is to TVFreeload, another great source for downloading TV shows.  You must register to enter the TVFreeload site. 

"Movie/TV Series Reviews" lists the sites I visit to see what is being recommended to watch.  Probably the best link is to the TV page of the UK's 'The Guardian' newspaper.  Crime Time Preview is OK too.  Metacritic is a US based website that gives 'scores' to new TV shows and I find this a handy site as well.  Of course there is also Internet Movie Data Base (IMDB) as well which gives reviews and viewers 'scores' for TV shows and to Movies.  Anything with a score above 7 on IMDB is probably worth watching!

The 3rd new section is "Turbobit".  Turbobit is a Russian website that stores uploaded movies and TV Shows and you need to pay to have full speed access.  It isn't the biggest file storage website around but with a bit of a search you may find a Turbobit Link to a file you want.  The 04 Turbobit HowTo is a link to download a pdf document which shows how you may be able to download from Turbobit without paying!

The 05 Mediafire etc link will allow you to download another pdf file which can tell you some other download for free 'tricks'.

Last night's "Casserole and Cocktails Night" has caused both Trish and I to look forward to a very quiet Sunday!  Both of us are moving very slowly this morning.  It is extremely humid with the promise of more heavy rain tomorrow which isn't helping us either.  We have already had a couple of brief showers today.  It has brightened a little outside.

I am hopeful of getting another brew on this morning if my inclination to do so returns!  Plenty of cricket and footy on TV again today and I am just in the mood to sit down and watch it all!
