user names and passwords in a secure database on your
hard drive. It's a must have for any daily web user.

http://www.annystudio.com/software/jpeglosslessrotator/

I have hundreds of pictures, and when I go to organize them, it
drives me crazy when the image is rotated. With Jpeg lossless rotator,
all you have to do is right click the image, click rotate and it's done. There is no need for moving the images into an image editor to rotate them anymore.

MozBackup

Torrent guide: Info Tips and Tricks

This article will give you the information you need to be safe while downloading torrents, and how to avoid downloading viruses/trashed files. This will be geared toward newbies, but some intermediate users my find some good and useful tips.

1. Basic Info

First lets start off with a brief and simplified explanation of what a torrent is. A torrent file is a small file that you download and then open in a torrent client. Once you open a torrent file in a client it will connect to other users downloading or seeding the particular file and download the file in pieces to your computer. The more people seeding or downloading a file, the faster it will download. Seeding means that a user is uploading the file to you.
Its important to keep up to date with the torrent community and not just download every file you see. Or else you could download viruses, get a trashed file or get in trouble with your isp or other groups. So its important to protect yourself and use a set of rules while downloading.

If you would like to understand the torrent protocol in more detail here is some further reading links:
Bittorrent Wiki
Bittorrent on HowStuffWorks

2. Programs and Sites

Now that you understand what a torrent is and why you need to protect yourself here is the tools and sites i recommend:

Programs:
Utorrent
Best torrent client out.

Peerguardian
Peer guardian will block ip addresses from ill meaning computers, it won't protect you 100% but it is a must have and make sure to keep the lists updated.

AVG Free
You should have a anti virus prog if your on the internet at all, and more so if you download torrents. Keep it up to date

Gspot
If you download a video and have trouble playing it, this program will tell you which codec you need to play it and if you have it installed.

Nimo Codec Pack
Used for playing many different video formats.

Websites:
Mininova
Massive torrent archive
isohunt
If you can't find it on mininova go here.
Seedpeer
This site has verified torrents
EzTV
Excellent site for tv torrents
torrentfreak
Keep up to date on torrent news

3.Searching and Downloading

So after you have downloaded all the programs and bookmarked all the sites
and are ready to download a torrent, follow these steps:

Make sure Anti-virus and Peer Guardian are running and on.

Search for the torrent, start with Mininova, if you cant find what you are looking for there, move on to the other sites.

Iff you get alot of search results for what you are looking for, investigate the torrent with the most seeds and downloaders. Ex.1

Next, read the comments. if others are saying its got a virus or it is passworded or nuked, move on to another torrent.

Next look at the file size. It's easiest to tell on videos if it's a good file. 30 min tv eps in standard quality are around 175 mb. One hour 350mb. Standard quality 1 1/2 hour movie is 700 mb. If a file is a strange or low file size I would stay away.

As a rule I would stay away from any torrent file that is Just one single archived file (.rar or .zip) these are usually either fake or passworded. Although some release groups split files into a bunch of .rar files these are an exception.

Now look at the way the file name is tagged. Lets take a look at a example:

the.office.412.hdtv-lol

It has the name of the show, (the office), the season(4), the episode number(12), quality/source (hdtv) and who released it (lol)

Get familiar with the groups who release the files its another good way to get good quality virus free files. here are some good release groups to look for:

LOL
AXXO
Klaxxon

Also you could do a search for just the release group on mininova or any other site to get a list of thier files, but always make sure to look at who uploaded the file, it's easy just to slap a release groups name on a file.

It seems like alot just to download a file but it will become second nature if you download alot.

4. Going further

Using these methods will eventually allow you to find pretty much anything, and keep you from getting viruses and trashed files.

If you use torrents a lot it can get overwhelming checking each site for every release. You can set up RSS feeds for your sites and releases in firefox or a news reader which can save you time.

It's also faster and slightly safer if you use member only torrent sites. Keep checking these sites for open sign up dates.

5. Final Information

Remember that in most countries it is illegal to download copyright infringing material without paying for it. Always try to find what you are looking for in a legal way. If your into Tv shows most all the network streams alot of their episodes online for free. There is also other websites that offer free streaming movies. check out my earlier post on this info. HERE
