How to download movies using torrents

Go to the link http://www.utorrent.com/downloads and download µTorrent based on your platform. Run the µTorrent.exe by keeping the default settings and by clicking ‘Next’. The application launches as shown below once the setup is completed.

 

Before jumping into how to download movies, let’s get a little knowledge on different prints of the movies. The different formats of pirated movies that are available in the internet in the order of their release are CAMrip, CAM, DVDSCR, DivX/XviD, DVDRIp, BluerayRip (BRRip), Blueray. A cam is a theater rip usually done with a digital video camera. So, there is high possibility that the camera may shake. Sound is taken from the onboard microphone of the camera, and especially in comedies, laughter can often be heard during the film. Due to these factors picture and sound quality are usually quite poor for CAMRip and CAM. The quality increases from one format to the next format i.e from CAMrip to CAM so on and so forth. So, it is better to download DVDSCR or higher formats.

Where and How to download the torrent files

The best website I have come across where we can find torrent files is http://www.kat.ph/. It has torrents of movies, music, TV shows, games, applications and books. The best thing about kat.ph is you can see the comments by people for all the torrent files. Comments will be on audio quality, print, if audio is in sync with video or not, if the torrent file needs password in order to run, and if the torrent is working or not. We can decide whether to download the torrent file or not by going through the comments. You can also see the age of the torrent files. Higher the age of the torrent file, higher is the movie quality.  

I will now explain you with an example. Let’s say I want to download the movie “Dabangg”.

Type “Dabangg” in the searchbox as shown below

We now get list of torrents for ‘Dabangg’ as shown below. Choose the torrent you want to download depending on the format (DVDRip, BlueRay, BRRip etc.), size, comments, seeds etc. The higher is the number of seeds available, the higher is the download speed. We can also get torrent files which has English subtitles. If the name of the torrent file has “E-SuB” in it, it means there are English subtitles for the movie.

If you take “Dabangg 2010 Hindi DVDRip XviD E-SuB xRG” as the torrent file name, DVDRip is the format, XviD is the encoder userd to stream the videos, E-SuB means English subtitles are also present.

Select any torrent file and click on ‘Download torrent’ to save it. Double-click the saved file and browse to the location where you want to save the movie. Now, the downloading starts and you can see its progress by selecting the ‘Torrents’ tab.

CFA - Path to a bright finance career

The craze for IIMs is mainly due to the huge salaries they offer. In order to get a clear picture about the packages and stuff, I enquired with couple of my friends who graduated from IIMs. They said that only        5-10% of students actually end up with good salaries.
The students who end up with handsome salaries have very good profiles like..
i) They are among the top bunch of the class
ii) They are active in the clubs and activities of college. Organising fests, participating and winning in B-School events and competetions, being a placecomm member etc
ii) Have a very good past work experience. Say managed a consultancy or started own firm or business
iv) Cleared global financial certifications like CFA, FRM etc

A person who cleared all the three levels of CFA and has done MBA from top B-School would get job profiles like Equity Research, Investment Banks, Portfolio Mgmt.
