Cant Play/View Movie Properly?
Try This: Rename the .avi extension to .rar, the movie file should be inside the .rar
We did this due to repeated Copyright Violation Allegations (copyright infractions) by Numerous Studios.
Step number 2:

If you downloaded a torrent, like this topic and came out to be something else way unexpected (with the file "How to Play The Movie Properly.txt"), well, welcome to the fake world! Yes, it is fake, and yes, I know it bites. Looks like some copyright trolls have got their tenticles around the bittorrent network, or it's just a "bright" young fellow that wants to get rich with pennies!

Either way, the password is (yes, big capital A, all the rest small letters): Alerts
...and as they say at that lame website "Enjoy your Movie =)", whatever you may have downloaded. I'll have to warn you though, it might be an adult movie, so do a preview first before you present it to your children.

Update: www.omegatorrents.com is the same website as torrentpowered.com, same pass.

Bittorrent: Download 24/7 with your PC turned off!

Yep, I couldn't believe it either. Introducing the almighty HTTP, FTP and BitTorrent downloader: WMU-6500FS. OvisLink AirLive have really surprised me when I heard about this one. You can install any 3.5" SATA or IDE Hard Drive and instantly share it on the network. There's a ton of LED indicators which tell you about the status of several actions/status.

The Inquirer have tested it in their "labs", took it apart and presented it to the public. The cost is said to be about $100, which is worth every penny!

Bittorrent: Introducing Halite - small yet effective client program

Made in C++ using libtorrent, Halite Bittorrent Client seems very promising, introducing features found in μTorrent, but without the MPAA watching over your back ;)
Halite (named after the mineral NaCl, rock salt) holds the following features:

• Multiple downloads.
• Displays more detailed information for the selected torrent.
• Connection limits both global and per-torrent.
• Transfer rate limits again global and per-torrent.
• Trackerless torrents (using the Mainline kademlia DHT protocol).
• IP filtering with eMule ipfilter.dat import.
• Minimize to tray with transfer rate summary.
• Association with ".torrent" files.
• Option to limit the number of instances to one.
• Estimated time remaining indicator.
• Full Unicode support through UTF-8 and native Windows wide-char strings.
• Login support where tracker requires it.
• Ability to edit trackers specified in the torrent.

The only problem is that, as all open source projects, it needs a lot of volunteers to enrich its code and speed up its releases. They need translators as well. The bad thing is that this open source client is to be used only on Microsoft Windows :(

You can download the latest Halite at sourceforge or softpedia.

Deluge Bittorent client needs translators - Pronto!

Short description: Deluge is a BitTorrent client, created in an "open source" style, using Python and PyGTK. It holds exciting features and plugins, such as selecting which files to download, scheduler and IP banning system and lots more!
1.5.3 is almost out (24 hours to go), and they require as much translators as possible to translate the program to their native languages. If you're an open source mind, you'll know this is one of your duties to help maintain great programs. Head to Launchpad and start translating!
