Torrents

It would be really great if we could download almost anything absolutely free of cost. Fortunately, we have that option now.
Keep in mind that it is certainly ILLEGAL.
The technology which helps us do this is called p2p or torrents. You should download a client software like Utorrent or Azureus. After installing it, you have to get a torrent file of what you want to download. Websites for torrent files are also available, even search engines.
Eg:- http://thepiratebay.org, http://torrentz.com etc
So you need to take this site, search what you want to download and you'll get a small file which is the torrent file. Next you need to open this file with the above mentioned client software like utorrent. That's it!!!!!!

PS: Always be aware that this post is meant for information purposes only. it is ILLEGAL to download using torrents.

VLC Media Player

Looking for a media player that can play all files? Here's your answer... yah, its VLC media player. We normally use windows media player, but you would need to install separate codecs to play files like DIVX, MOV,MP4 etc. But just install VLC and you can play almost all files and it's light weight won't take much time to download and the best thing -- its free.
