How to download hundreds of movies in prep for no internet?
Hey guys, home for break for a few more days before I head back to my apartment in Maine with no internet. Trying to figure out a way to download a couple hundred movies to entertain me after work for the next 4 months, but I haven't had any luck. Found a torrent with 100 movies but it stopped loading after 50%. Can anyone help show me the way?? Anyone feel like uploading their collection to a fileshare site?? I'll love you forever.
RachyAsk friends/social network who has a hard drive of movies.
Copy said harddrive.
I have 150 or so on one of my hard drives. I have another friend who probably has close to 1000 by now.
simple.
I have one with over 500 movies on it. A couple of suggestions I have for you OP:
Make sure you get a powered USB hub to plug the drive into. A 500 Gig Hard Drive will be plenty unless you are going to put a shit ton of Blu Rays on it. My 500 gig drive with almost 600 titles on it is only about half full. You either need a powered hard drive which are pricey and harder to find or you buy the $8 powered USB hub. The only thing that is kind of a pain is that it takes awhile for the directory to load on the TV because of how much stuff is on it.
I guess I was assuming that you would be plugging it into a TV, but this is irrelevant if you are just watching through computer.
