MAVR BROADCAST_02 [ LIMEWIRE ]

This is Dj Prodigal with another installment of Music and Anything Even Vaugley Related.

My music recommendation: An old song but still absolutely brilliant... that was quite English of me, anyway the song is "Heart-shaped Box" by Nirvana, and if anyone as so much as mentions "Smells like teen spirit" I will personally send a much larger man to discipline these people.

Before I start as most of you know the Living End concert is now in two days, so yes a little late to book, personally I'm not much of a fan but what very few people know is that BMTH (Bring Me The Horizon) which requires a very special taste of music which is rarely found among you listeners, If anyone would be interest BMTH is performing at the UNSW Rounhouse on the 16th, and I'm quite sure there are tickets left.

Anyway back onto topic today I'll be continuing with my previous post of why Limewire is a terrible program and other and more effective ways of downloading those certain files, which I must once again mention in no way do i condone, but wish to inform for the sake of your computer, so lets get into it.

Issue:
The next issue is the fact that you can only download singular files without downloading a zip file off limewire which is in non computer terms is the equivalent of grabbing your machine and throwing it off the Sydney Harbour Bridge…Yes I do live in Australia, live with it. Now while on Playlist.com you will have noticed just like limewire its still only able to download songs individually this can be quite irritating because you want the entire album or such.

Solution:

A solution to this problem is using a program called “Bit torrent” and using it to download torrents (Yes I realise 90% of the people reading this will not be cyber-ly brain-dead but this entire broadcast as I’m sure you’ve noticed is meant for those who do not know.)
Once again I’ll go through step by step on how to do this.

Step1: Browser>Htmlbar>www.Bittorrent.com ENTER

Step2: Click the giant button “Get BitTorent”

Step3: Once again click “Get BitTorrent” , Save the file to wherever you wish.

Step4:Install the program by clicking such phrases as next, I agree ,install,next,finish.

Step5: You don’t even need to open the program yet, just go straight to your web browser and go to either www.thepiratebay.org or www.mininova.org both are great resources the only difference is some files can only be found on either site which is a minor inconvenience. Once on either page you will find a search bar, simply type the artist or movie your looking for, it is unlikely youll find single songs on these websites so just look as entire artist. An example would be “Nirvana Discography”>ENTER.

Step6:I highly recommend using the next step to increase the speeds of the downloads though it Is still optional, click the button seeds or seeders or some variation of this word, this simply list the seeders from highest to lowest for each program ( for those of you who don’t know a “seeder” is someone who distributes these files while a “leecher” as the name might suggest downloads the files off a seeder so the more “seeders” the faster the download will work, for a download to work at all you must need at LEAST one seeder.)

Step7: Once you have found an appropriate link click it and it will of course bring you to the next page a crucial part of this step is reading a few of the comments at after satisfied that this is a safe download and is what it claims to be, a very distinct comment that will say against this is
“VIRUS NOT SAFE SCANNED FOUND TWO TROJANS” at this point you look for another version of this file but if you choose the file with the most “seeders” you will most likely find that its safe. Back from that rambling passage, once satisfied with its safety simply click “download torrent”.

Step8: Click save and once the download has completed double click and it will bring you to your “Bit Torrent program where you can, as an amateur I suggest not messing around with the files till they are complete till you get a better understanding of how it works. Once the file is complete, if your Australian and a like to save your limited internet I suggest pressing the large stop button while having the downloaded selected to stop it from continuing to send the file out to others attempting to download. Then simply go to the folder the files were downloaded in or just double click the files in the bit torrent program.
And there you go a much more effective and safer method of downloading multiple files at once, even though to all you computer brain-dead people, this might seem a little bit complicated but once you do it once it becomes as easy as breathing.

Well I hope you've enjoyed this and its been helpful for you, i have one more post which will be much shorter, much of you will appreciate that, on this topic and then ill be moving on to other things, until then this is Dj Prodigal wishing you all a swine flue week.

...side note: Back up to 7 days of music!
