Tutorial #1 - How to work with torrents

Not so long ago, I found that a great percentage of internet-using people don't know how to work with torrents.

So, here you'll find some tips for working with torrent files.

First you will need to get some software to execute the torrents you'll be downloading, software like BitTorrent or uTorrent (like BitTorrent, but lighter) are probably the most used worldwide, but if you don't like to use mainstream apps, you can always use zButterfly like I do...

When you have all set-up, you just need a file with the .torrent extension. The "problem" is where to get your torrents from... You have tons of sites and torrent directories to choose from. The best and the one that I use is ThePirateBay.



Now you have to choose your files very carefully, because if you want to download something fast, you'll have to get the torrent with the greatest number of seeders.


The image above is what your search will look like at first. Now all you have to do is arrange the list by seeders (sedeers are the ones who are still uploading their content to the internet, and leechers are the ones downloading such content - this means that good torrents must have at all times a number of seeds greater than the number of leechers). To arrange the order of the torrents, just click the SE on the first row, as shown below:


 The highlighted text is the uploader nickname. In this case (TV shows), those are the best ones (who never let you down).

When you find the torrent you are looking for, it should look like this:


You can see the double green arrows pointing down. It means that if you click there, you will download the file (not the episode in this case, but the torrent file) to open with the previous installed software.

If you have doubts if it is a good torrent and want to check other users' comments, just click the title of the torrent to go to it's page. It should look like this:



As you can see, I've drawn arrows pointing the link you should click if you choose to download that file. DON'T click the big download button! That downloads a program to do something that you really don't care for...


If you still have questions, feel free to ask them in the comment section below! I will answer them as soon as I can.

#YouTubeStats

Two days ago a website showing some very interesting statistics came to my attention... It is named SocialBlade, and it shows the estimated earnings of YouTubers.

I am very curious about my popularity on the web (which is almost null) and guess what... I am pretty popular...
Not as popular like Ray William Johnson or KassemG, Lisanova, Toby Turner, ... But there are subscriptions to prove my popularity (like 30...) So... Everybody knows me (in my house).

But talking about more important stuff, I can't be a YouTube partner because I'm from one of the countries that doesn't get the chance to do so, but according to that website, I could be making from $2,73 to $29,09 per day (or if you will, from $995 to $10 617 per year). What this means is that because I was born in this country (which I will not reveal, but it is Portugal), I don't have the chance to earn money... Maybe it is called discrimination? Don't know, but I don't want to find out, in my opinion it's best to wait just a little bit longer.

And now with the Stats:

#YouTube - SHAYTARDS

Let's talk about YouTube!


So today I'm going to talk to you about the Shaytards...






3 (almost 4) years ago, Shay Carl Butler, a proud dad of three (amazing) kids was about to turn 29 and he thought about recording his last (365) days of his twenties... He started vlogging, everyday and introduced his wonderful family to the internet. They were originally five: ShayCarl (the dad), Katillete (Mommytard - her real name is Collete), Sontard (his oldest son - real name Gavin), Princesstard (middle-daughter - real name is Avia) and Babytard (his baby daughter - real name - Emmi). Shay didn't want us to know the real name of his kids, but you know how the Internet works... everything gets leaked somehow, and throughout the vlogs people catched their real names. (I'm just putting their names here because nowadays it's so easy to go on Google and search for "Shaytards real names"...).


Later in the vlogs Collete got pregnant and shared it with everyone. It was amazing to see the reactions of their audience! Almost two years ago Rocktard (the new baby-boy - real name is Brock) was born on the Internet  - literally ON the Internet, Collete was on labor and Shay was hanging around her whit the video camera...






Without knowing, at first, the Shaytards created one of the most amazing shows on the Web. Everyday they opened the door of their house for us to spend at least 10 minutes of the day with them. Some of you might be asking "Why would I want to see other people's family on YouTube?", well, aside from the awesomeness that they are, it really brightens almost everyone 's day to see their good values.


They are Mormon. But not that kind of Mormon who lives in farms, isolated from society, etc.. They go to church, they respect the religion... They bring good to our planet!


If you're still asking why you should check them out, just think about how many times you tried to pursue your dreams... Shay always supported his wife's dreams and she supported his dreams as well. In the video below, you can check why their show became so popular.
How many of you has a six figure debt? Getting on YouTube and making a career out of it allowed ShayCarl to pay his + $195000 debt...






In my opinion, you should checked them and watch just a couple of vlogs... You'll be mindblowned by their positive attitude through life's unexpected adversities. Enjoy!
