This quickstart guide covers everything you need to know about how to enjoy free satellite TV in North America, although other regions may be supported. For around $300 just about anyone can easily set up a motorized satellite dish complete with an LNB & receiver. With the blackout of Nagra3, most satellite pirates have turned to IKS to provide free satellite.
The purposefulness of blocking or banning seedbox IP ranges when torrenting through a home PC is to be able to increase your upload rates to non-seedbox peers. By limiting your BitTorrent traffic to mostly other home users only, such as yourself, this will effectively cut out seedbox traffic - simply put; it means you won’t be uploading to seedbox peers in the torrents, in turn giving you an advantage to seed to lower-speed home torrenters. For some trackers that are difficult to seed on, in our tests we’ve found this solution to be somewhat effective in increasing upload data and sharing ratios.
For those of you who incorporate IP Blocking into µTorrent, you may have noticed that when you upgraded to v1.8, the ipfilter.dat addon doesn’t seem to be blocking anything. Rest assured, it is working. If you use µTorrent v1.7.7 with ipfilter.dat and click on the Logger tab at the bottom, blocked IPs are automatically shown (and logged). This is not the case for v1.8, and you’ll need to manually enable the log to get it to display the blocked peers.
In this tutorial, we’ll show you how to run multiple instances of µTorrent on the same computer. We’ve seen similar tutorials posted throughout ‘torrent forums’ in the past; however, it’s getting more difficult to find. The reason we are redoing it is to add some needed screenshots, and to use it as a setup for an upcoming article on "uTorrent Mods & Ratio Hacking" in which we need to explain how to run different versions of µTorrent on the same computer simultaneously (hacked clients vs. original). Thus, it’s not imperative that you run the same version of µTorrent for this to work - you’ll be able to run the ‘latest stable release’ v1.7.7 and the new µTorrent v1.8 at the same time.
The Problem: If you already have µTorrent installed - for example v1.7.7 - and you download the new version 1.8 and try to run it, it will either launch the previously installed (older) version; or (if you have µTorrent closed and run the new desktop ’shortcut’), it will override the older one and take over the existing torrents. While v1.8 is superior to its predecessor, it’s still not an acceptable client for most private trackers, so it should be used with discretion. For torrenters who want to run both versions concurrently (or play around with hacked / modded µTorrent clients), here is the solution:
For torrenters who prefer to "see" a tutorial in real-time rather than try to follow some wordy & confusing guide, YouTube offers a goldmine of videos pertaining to BitTorrent tutorials and how-to’s. Everything from ‘Download Torrents on Your PS3′ to ‘Increase µTorrent Speeds’ can be found. The caveat being; as with everything else on YouTube, much of the content leaves a lot to be desired, and guides are no exception - some are horribly amateurish; while others are brilliantly done.
We’ve come up with a collection of YouTube’s "Best of BitTorrent" videos. With almost 500,000 views, here is the #1 Top Viewed BitTorrent Tutorial video on Youtube:
Are TorrentFlux Seedbox reseller hosts getting you down? If you want total control over TorrentFlux and your torrents, you’ll need to purchase your own server and install TF yourself. In most cases, it’ll be cheaper anyways, and you’ll be free to share the cost with any number of users (think: resell accounts to your friends). This tutorial is aimed towards WinXP/Vista users who wish to run a TF seedbox through a Linux server. Knowledge of the Linux OS is not required.
This tutorial is intended for users that have a ‘modded’ XBOX360 (i.e. "Firmware Flashed") and is not intended for out-of-the-box systems. Nowadays XBOX360 rips are done professionally, and in most cases require a minimal amount of tweaking to get them going as planned.

Searching the Internet for a proper way to "mod" an XBOX360 to play downloaded games (backups) can be an arduous endeavor. I spent hours sifting through dozens of sites and pages before I found out how it is really done, so I thought I would share that knowledge.
When browsing the latest XBOX360 torrents, one thing stands out - many ‘proper’ scene releases are tailored towards XBOX360’s that have been "firmware-flashed". Firmware Flashing is not the addition of a so-called mod-chip - however, it does require a few tools; plus it includes opening of the unit chassis - which, in turn, breaks the warranty. It can also void out your XBOX Live account, or, in a worst-case scenario, brick the unit completely. Yet I recommend that this firmware approach is still much safer than a mod-chip hardware solution.
Got an old clunker of a computer that’s just collecting dust? Why not turn it into your own BitTorrent seedbox! In this tutorial we’ll explain how you can transform an old shitbox into a seedbox. For those of you who know nothing about Linux (*.Nix), then this is a great solution to optimize that second unused PC. You’ll require nothing more than an old computer, a router/hub (and cables), and software to connect it to your main system. After the whole thing is configured, you won’t even need a monitor/keyboard/mouse on the old system.
This tutorial will show you how to set up your XBOX 360 to download torrents, automatically extract the RAR files and stream (link) the video files to your XBOX from your PC. You’ll also be able to browse your private tracker and control the torrents on your PC through µTorrent, all from the comfort of your couch and your XBOX 360. You will require:
• An XBOX 360
• Windows XP MCE (Media Center Edition) or Windows Vista with Media Center.
• PC Software:
