Downloading music and movies for free

So there are ways to donwload movies & music - Hindi and English - without torrents. I will give a step by step method to do this. It's a little complicated but the download speeds will appease you.

  1. Download mIRC (Internet relay chat) client and install it.
  2. Go to Packetnews website and search for any movie you want, e.g. click here
  3. Click on some number under "pack" coloumn. e.g "#5" or "#21" etc.
  4. This will open up mIRC and prompt you "change server and join the channel". Click OK.
  5. Couple of windows within the application will open within a few seconds.
  6. In the second window that opens within mIRC, do a "Ctrl-V" i.e paste in the chat box and hit enter. You have effectively logged on to a server hosting the movie/music file and sent a request to receive that file.
  7. A dialog box will be show a "file warning" saying someone is attempting to send you a file. Just say yes. Select the destination folder and the file is being downloaded!! Check out the speeds - I get about 350kbps!
    Note: First time users should always make sure the following: Go to Tools->Options->DCC->Ignore. Select "Disabled" in the Method menu and click ok.
  8. You might also need WinRar and Isobuster to decode your movie/music files.
    To learn to use Isobuster, post your comments, and I will add the details.

The quality of movies/music can be excellent if you choose the files a little carefully! Users can even share large size files (send/receive) between each other.
