Various strategies of being an illegal downloader.
As an unemployed young man my week consists of two television highlights, America's Next Top Model (on wednesdays) and L-word (on sundays).
Sure, swedish television broadcasts these programs but always one season/cycle behind the states. Right now, Americas Next Top Model is in its tenth cycle and The L-word in its fifth season in the states. So what do I do to keep myself updated?
There are a number of ways. Let me share some of them with you, gentle reader.
1. Youtube, this is actually a last resort since I like to enjoy my favorite programs in at least decent resolution. Plus, the ten minute video length often creates bad cuts and multiple downloads.
And it's not certain that the uploads will stay up that long since the certain networks (especially FOX) are very good at flagging and removing copyrighted material.
2. There are a number of sites that collects (with help of members) episodes and movies from different video sites. This is my second best choice. The only downside to this is that these sites often gets sponsored by spamming internet sites (such as Zango) and to watch certain movies and series you need to join them.
Another downside is that mostly, the episodes are ripped from asian networks (or fan-subbed in chinese/japanese/korean) so there's often a level of frustration watching them.
These are some of these sites:
TVLIVESHOWS.COM
ALLUC.ORG
3. To download them by torrent (On how to download), this is probably the best way to watch in hi-res. However sometimes a certain torrent can be hard to find. An easy way to find a torrent of your choice is to either browse a torrent site (such as The Pirate Bay) OR do it more manually and google it.
Let's say you want to download the second episode of the first season of Dexter, what you do is google the term "Dexter s01ep02 torrent", this works 80 percent of the time, what to concider though doing it manually is to check if the site you find seems legit or not (this I leave up to you).
