You guys were discussing downloads and torrents that I wasn't familiar with, nor did I really know how to do it, however easy that it is to do.

Just haven't gotten around to doing anything about it yet.

Is that ok elite?

Hopson......

From things I remember you saying here in the past....You are about as much a computer wiz as I am ...and not ashamed to admit it.

I only know how to download and burn movies cause someone showed me how......I have not rented a movie in about 3-4 years and have seen every movie that I wanted to in that time mostly before they came out on video.

I'll get you started if you want with these simple steps. It's all you need.

1.  Go to www.vuse.com and get the free download.....Keep it on your desktop along with the miminova link.

2.  Go to www.mininova.com ....You can scroll down to the movie catagory or I suggest this.............At the top of the page type in any of these 3. ...FXG....FXM....AXXO  [ Which will also come up KLAXXON ]      Any movie by these guys are 100 % gold and 98 % password free   [ A red "P" beside the movie.] .... For TV shows type in EZTV .....This way you only get stuff that you know has zero problems to download.

When you see a movie that you want...Click on it ...when it brings you to the next page Click" DOWNLOAD THIS  TORRENT "........Your VUSE will come up by itself and do the work for you....On the VUSE page on the top left click on " DOWNLOADING "...It will show you the progress.

When the movie is done loading....[ anywhere from 1-2 hours usually ] ....It moves to  { UNWATCHED and MY LIBRARY ].........Right click on the movie and click PLAY.....

Whatever your computer has on it....[ probably WINDOWS MEDIA PLAYER ]   will start playing the movie.

Get a few movies downloaded to get the hang of it before you start burning them to disc......but for now you can watch any of those on your computer.

If in the future you want to burn them on disc,,,,Click on the YOUTUBE site I posted and the 13 year old will explain how......Personally....I wrote them down step by step till I can memorize it cause you never know when it might be lifted from the site......I'll type that out here in the future if someone needs it.

 

LOOKS LIKE A LOT TO DO TO GET A MOVIE....BUT ONLY TAKES A FEW MINUTES ONCE YOU GET USED TO IT.

 

Any questions feel free to ask.

Snap, the main reason that I'm struggling is that when my last Windows laptop died, I thought it'd be really neato to by a Mac. So I got one of those Macbooks, and I'm still strugggling with anything other than basic maneuvering.

First, thanks for taking the time to write down all those instructions for me.

Will the same procedure work on the Mac? (I still haven't put my itunes back on it, but that's easy enough) I'm actually not as dense on computers as I let on, but if I acted all cocky, I doubt anyone would care to help me.

Snap, this whole thing seems like it'll be great once I get it set up.....

www.vuse.com's home page right up front says download 4.3 version and in parenthesis it says (mac)

Cool.

So Snap, it's good for a set up like mine?

Yesterday I went to a buddies place and talked him through the steps to do this on his laptop.....It works on his and I did 3 movies on it.....He is amazed.

I just finished burning 2012.....Sometimes you can get movies like that that are only a week old at the show.

Fantastic. I'll be back after I get it done. This Macbook is fast as shit, so it shouldn't take long.

One more question....am I able to tranfer this stuff I download to itunes, if not, where do I send my downloads once I'm up and running with it?

Thanks dude. I owe you. I have missed downloading music and shit as I used to a whole lot.

Dunno.....I don't do music anymore....Never got back to that since my daughter's LIMEWIRE stuff gave me viruses.

Experiment yourself to find out.

 

where do I send my downloads once I'm up and running with it?

If you mean the movies.......It automaticaly goes to vuse.

If you mean music.....No idea.

Snap, when I download it, do I hit "save" or "open"?

It seemed like nothing happened unless it downloaded that quickly. Is that possible or did I do something wrong?

open

Check your desktop for a BLUE FROG icon.

Thanks. BRB

Shit. Just two icons "Vuse installer.dmg" and Vuse.dmg"

Nothing else.

I know that I hit the correct download button also.

Ideas?

Find a movie hit download and see which vuse pops up....delete the other.

I'll see if I can get that selection screen up......

If you want  Terminator.Salvation......Click here and hit DOWNLOAD THIS TORRENT.

Bingo on everything except getting the "frog" icon on my desktop.

I think I can get that done from my toolbar at the top of my screen, eh?

The vuse homepage looks like it's got tons of fun in store for me.

Sure....Once you have VUSE on your screen....Right click then click on  CREATE SHORTCUT.

It (the icon) was down hidden at the bottom like Macs like to do.

For that Terminator flick for example....do I need that complete and perfect url addy, or can I just type the name into the search spot?

Wgere do the movies get saved in your computer? In the "mu documents" folder?

You should then lose the toolbar VUSE...Takes up space.

Gotcha on the shortcut...

Do you know where my downloads get saved?

So just delete the vuse icon off my desktop?

That means it is running.....when you are NOT using it ....Exit from it or............Next time you open VUSE it says that " It was closed untidy last time you used it"

Not a big deal ...but you should close it when unused.

No

They will always be in VUSE in your  LIBRARY and UNWATCHED.....till you watch it.....Then just in your LIBRARY.
