Guide to Free Downloads

By -

I have a confession to make: I love downloading stuff.  Wait, let me rephrase that.  I love downloading FREE stuff.  Today, I’m going to show you how to use uTorrent to download almost any type of file.

Please note that I do not condone any type of illegal downloading.  Use this guide at your own risk.

What You Need:

  1. uTorrent
  2. A RSS feed for TV shows
  3. A torrent search engine

First you will need to install uTorrent. This part is very simple and straight-forward.  If you have any problems, here is a good guide to get started.  Once you have that installed, copy the address of the RSS feed to this section of uTorrent:

rss 

tv You will now see the feed show up on the left side of your screen.  This feed will update at a set interval (default is 15 minutes).  Whenever you see a show that you want to get, double click it and it will start downloading.  You can also right click on a show and Add it to your favorites which will download the show automatically for you.  In a future post, I’ll show you how to schedule your downloads to work while you sleep.

I hope this helps you get started with uTorrent and downloading. E-mail or Twitter me if you have any questions.

I’d pay for it because I didn’t think there was any other way.  I then moved on to a free version of McAffee that my school gave me.  I probably used that for years before moving on to the next one; AVG. I loved AVG for a long time.  It was fairly quick, updated often but it was a little obtrusive.  I dealt with that though because the product was truly free.  About a year ago I AVG had a false positive that caused iTunes to get messed up.  I freaked out and uninstalled AVG and iTunes so nothing bad would happen to my music collection.  The next day a fix was issued but it was already too late for ...
