What is the best software to download?
What is the best software to download, movies and software….. such as bitlord?
Nagesh answers:
BitLord is not a good choice for a bittorrent client. It is based upon an old buggy Bitcomet code and is banned at most all private trackers.

uTorrent is a much better choice. Small, easy on system resources and has good support:

How do I record my tivoed shows and movies onto a DVD?
I have a standard tivo model. I‘m not sure exactly what it is. And I have movies and television shows that I would like to save. Is there a way I can burn them onto a DVD/RW?
Nagesh answers:
The first comment is COMPLETELY WRONG. Tivo and Modified DirecTV Tivo’s are really the easiest to transfer the shows/movies from them to a Networked PC so you can edit out commercials ans burn to DVD. Check out this link first.

What you will need is to get your Tivo networked. If it is a Series 2 Tivo or Series 2 Dual Tuner Tivo then you can either use a compatible USB Ethernet adapter or Tivo Wireless G Adapter. You connect these to your Tivo’s ACTIVATED USB ports, if you use a USB Ethernet Adapter like Linksys USB200m for a series 2 with USB 2.0 or use the USB100m for an older Tivo that has USB 1.1 ports. Now connect an Ethernet cable from the USB adapter to your homes Wired/wireless router. Use a program like LookatLan to find the IP address on your homes network. Now use Tytool 10r4 (Available here, Scroll down until you find version 10R4: http://www.weethet.nl/english/download.php ) This will allow you to put the IP address in and transfer the shows/movies to your networked PC, then it has a edit program to edit out the commercial, then you will change the Tivo’s file format from a .tivo to a .mpeg file. Once this is done you can use a DVD burning progra, to make it to a DVD.

No you just enable sharing to your 360 from you computer, download the optional media update for XBL, and stream the movie to your TV through your xbox

What are some good horror movies to watch with a boy?
I‘m going up to my friend’s this weekend and he likes to download scary movies for us to watch. The last few we watched were terrible (IT, insidious, etc.). I need something that is actually scary. And will make me jump.
Nagesh answers:
I would say the scariest movies ever are:
1) The Shining (1980)
2) Texas Chainsaw Massacre (1974)
3) The Exorcist (1973)
4) Rosemary’s Baby (1968)
5) Night of the Living Dead (1968)
