Buccaneer’s handbook


Now and then I found myself explaining to my friends what a torrent file is or how to manage several direct downloads. This is a little user's guide for my friends or anyone reading that. What you download is not my business.
There are two ways to download stuff in a clean and easy way.
  1. By torrent
  2. By direct download
Well maybe there are more but I know and I like these two, mainly because the software you need requires very few resources in your computer, you can set how much band width you want to use (if you leave it with no limit it can go very very very quick), it is safe no spyware, no advertising. And you can always check other user's comments about the files. See the comments, is a must is you are going to download and install software. For music or video files, is different, the worst that can happen is when it is the wrong file.
Although torrent and direct download are different you just have to follow to simple steps with both of them. And in both of them you just need two basics: a downloading link and software to take care of your downloadings. So, first you need a link search page. Second you need to install a program to manage the files that you want to download. You can put as many files as you want. The program will take care of it in order.

 
Direct download
Download and install JDownloader. Did it? Ok, now let's go to search something to download.
Go to filestube page. Look for something you fancy to download it. Just copy the link (ctrl+c). If JDownloader is open, then the link will show up in JDownloader automatically in the second tab of the program. I think is called LinkGrabber. Wait until the link is check. If it goes green the link is working. Look down and click to add it. Now it will appear in the download tab, the first one. Wait a few seconds or minutes, it depends on the server. With some servers you will need to put the captchas. With Mediafire, Megaupload and Rapidshare it starts automatically, no captchas. If I can I choose them.
A very handy characteristic of JDownloader is that it also allows you to download videos from youtube as a video or mp3.
Here is a link for TV Shows and movies that is my favourite. MiniShares. Very good quality videos in a very few megas and the latest shows the same day.

 
Torrent
Download and install utorrent. Once you did that you are ready to search for whatever you would like to download. The beauty about torrent files is that you can find very unusual stuff that you can not buy even if you wanted.
I use two web pages The Pirate Bay (pirate bay website can be unavailable in your area or with your provider, no worries, just google it and find a different link) and isoHunt to search torrent files. Go to one of them. Search a file, look if it have plenty seeders. Seeders are the people that are sharing the file with you. The most seeders a file have the better. But anyway some times with rare material a few seeders is also good. And keep an eyed that the number of lechers is less than the seeders if it is possible. You can also check the comments of other users to know if the file is what is said. Click the download torrent link and allow utorrent to open the file. That's it. When the file is complete then you will start to share it and you will be a seeder instead of a lecher.

 
You can found both programs in softonic aswell. Take a look to the reviews if you like.
With these basics you are ready to start. Have fun.

Miedo gris. Cielo sucio.

En esta ciudad gris infinito el cielo parece de cemento. Atrapada bajo su peso me ahogo paralizada. Este miedo tan difuso que tiñe el cielo tan sucio. Miedo gris. Cielo sucio. Ni la lluvia es capaz de arrastrar el dolor. Llueve y llueve, y el corazón se agrieta. ¿Dónde estás mi sol? Ya la sangre se me heló. El recuerdo de tu luz cálida y dorada en el baúl de los recuerdos se perdió.

Pólvora y Cenizas

Cuando despertó le costó un poco saber donde estaba. El aire era denso y frío, sabía a pólvora y cenizas, y olía… olía… sólo quería vomitar. Le dolía la cabeza y no se podía mover. No podía reconocer que era lo que le impedía moverse. Estaba muy oscuro, se sentía mareada y a medida que iba recobrando la conciencia el miedo ganaba terreno. ¿Dónde estaba? ¿Qué había pasado? El miedo llamaba a la puerta de la conciencia cada vez más fuerte. Lo que fuera que la aprisionaba era inmenso y muy pesado, y estaba caliente y mojado. Él pánico empezó a imperar sobre el miedo, el aire frío aguijoneó su memoria, el pensamiento se formó de forma instantánea en su cabeza y como una ola gigante llegó a los límites de su consciencia para arrasar con todo lo que encontró a su paso. Quiso gritar pero solo pudo vomitar. Chris yacía muerto sobre ella. Desangrado. Todavía estaba caliente. El dolor de su corazón convirtiéndose en piedra fue insoportable. No necesitaba ver para saber. No quería ver. No podía moverse. No quería moverse. Solo quería quedarse ahí, para siempre con su dulce y amado Chris. El dolor en su pecho era tan real, como si un puño de hierro le estuviera agarrando el corazón con la saña de un perro rabioso. Sabía que no quedaba nada. Que detrás de toda esa oscuridad no había nada. Que su pequeño mundo perfecto había sido destruido. Que toda la belleza creada con tanto esmero en había sido arrasada. Que no quedaría nadie para atestiguar cuan hermoso fue su pequeño paraíso. Cerró los ojos. La oscuridad daba menos miedo con los ojos cerrados. Buscó a tientas la mano de Chris, consiguió removerse un poco bajo su peso y se abrazó a él. Sintió las lágrimas correr por sus mejillas y se quedó allí, llorando por todo lo que fue y ya nunca sería. Llorando por tanto amor perdido.

04 random thoughts

I remember when everything was falling a part and I was living in hell, although I found good friends there, and there were pills for happiness as well. I was alone trap in my cage, all the innocence went lost, the time stop, but everything changed. The bastards found me again. There are always bastards everywhere. After them, nothing is left. Nothing. Just pain, and emptiness, and all that rage.



Anyway, I keep telling me again and again:



The summer will come back

The sun will shine

My heart will burst

Of all that happiness I will get drunk



Although there is no more faith left, but I keep telling me again and again

Between Heaven and Hell

Somewhere between heaven and hell, there she was, just a lost girl, sad blue eyes and bushy hair. Not too clever, not to pretty. Not too much, not too less. Just living day by day, wondering about her fate, hopping every day for something to change. -It can not be just this. There must be something else-. And she waits and waits. Nothing happen. Nothing changes. She kept moving always searching. But fate, her fate, always ran away. And then one day she realised. -It is just this. There is nothing else.
