This little application will save you big time when you run out of hard drive space and begin backing up your movie collection to DVD. Take a look at the video and download the application here. Installation instructions can be found here.
For those of you unfamiliar with usenet, this is a must read.
I do not care to pay for cable TV as I always find myself wasting too much time watching stuff I don’t really care to watch or have seen far too many times. I also dislike watching streaming shows as they are horrible quality and generally packed with ads.
Tonight Corvillus pointed me in the direction of Astraweb, a wicked fast SSL enabled news server that works a charm – especially with hellanzb.
TV / Movie lovers – sign up now using this link and get unlimited access at 1/3 the price – I am not an affiliate I just am shocked at the quality of service and think everyone should have it.
Once you have paid the $11 immediately install hellanzb and set it up as suggested by the article using the credentials provided by Astraweb. Copy some nzb files to your queue directory and watch hellanzb do its magic – in no time you will have nicely organized directories full of high quality media ready to watch – I could not be more pleased.
House MD Season 1 was made available this evening on Usenet. Since I have only used 50% of my monthly bandwidth I decided to add it to my collection (8.33 GB) – at this rate it should be done before I wake up in a few hours!
This is a quick how to to get you started using the best web based torent downloader / tracker ever created, Torrentflux.
I am sure I’ve blogged this before but I just reinstalled it on geekhut and I thought I’d show it off a second time.
Here is a link to the ogg, I am converting the flv as we speak, I will put it up as soon as it’s done.
The ideal setup is to have to connect via NFS or SMBFS to a NAS and basically you just set it and forget it.
You don’t have to slow down your dektop / laptop with a bunch of torrent threads, just let it do its thing and check up on it once in a while. We got ours running in a vm which passes all the data to a NFS/SMB server so we can immediately watch it on our XBMC.
Have fun!
