How to Download TV Shows from the Internet

Well, it’s that time of year again, the Fall TV season is starting. Oh yeah after a long summer of nothing to do but go outside, meet other humans, and physical activity you can finally plop down on the couch and turn into a fat zombie watching the thrilling new episodes of your favorite shows. Now, I know you’re going to be there promptly every night living vicariously through your celluloid pseudo friends.

  • Vitamin-R's timed breaks make sure that your renewal break does not turn into a free afternoon and the 'priming' technique allows your intuition to work overtime before you even start on a time slice. Find Your Rhythm. Each one of us is different. Finding out what works best for you is the key to true productivity. Vitamin-R gives you the.
  • Vitamin-R is a collection of tools and techniques designed to overcome the biggest productivity challenges facing today's new caste of creative professionals: managing attention and maintaining motivation. It complements the task capturing and organizing features of modern to-do list managers, by forcing you to keep attention on a single task.

Vitamin-R is designed to work any way you need it to, so by default, you get to choose the duration of your time-slice and break periods. But, if you're a true Pomodoro Technique aficionado, which works using a specific relationship between work and break timing, you can configure Vitamin-R to adhere to the Pomodoro Technique.


But, what if all of that human contact and activity from the summer bleeds into the fall? What if you find yourself having plans on, (don’t say it) a WEEKNIGHT gasp! Sure, you could just set the Tivo to grab all of your favorite shows, right after you remember to back up your computer, wear a condom and floss daily. Or worse yet, let’s say one of your “friends” or “neighbors” grabs you at the last minute and forces you to miss an episode of “The Office”. You can’t ask the Tivo to go get shows that it never recorded.

It must be difficult, expensive, or illegal. NO!, NO!, and “Probably Not.” It is pretty simple, totally free, and probably legal.

Well, all is not lost, you can always get any shows, with the commercials edited out right from the only “real” friend that you have (except for the TV), you guessed it, the Internet.

That doesn’t sound right. It must be difficult, expensive, or illegal. NO!, NO!, and “Probably Not.” It is pretty simple, totally free, and probably legal. (Well, when was the last time that you heard of someone getting sued for downloading Scrubs?) Follow these simple steps in this TWO PART ARTICLE and you can get any shows Freely, Quickly, and Easily.

What You Need to Download TV Shows

There are two things that you need to get your shows from the Internet:

  1. A tool to download the files
  2. A site that posts links to the files

Get a “Bit Torrent” tool that will download the files from the Internet.

Bit Torrent is a technology that allows you to download large files from users all over the world. Many people have a file and you take little pieces of the file from all of them at the same time. This is a pretty safe technology.

There are many “Good” Free Bit Torrent tools available; this guide will use one called “uTorrent”. Another good one is “Azureus”.

Install the “uTorrent” software on your computer.

After you install the software and open it, you need to tell it where to put the files (TV shows) that you download.

Click Options> Preferences from the application’s toolbar.

This will open the Preferences window.

Select Downloads from the navigation tree on the left side of the Preferences window. This is where you tell uTorrent where to put your downloaded files.

Set your system to the circled setting above.


Finding Your Shows

Now, you are all ready to get some TV shows. You need to open up your web browser and go to a “Torrent Download Site” that will let you begin downloading files.

There are many of these sights that specialize in different things like Computer Software (probably semi-illegal), Video Games (ditto), and Videos. The one that caters specifically to TV and is very good is XTVi.com.

Go to http://tvrss.net/shows/ in your browser.

There is an alphabetical “Jump To” list at the top of the page. Click on the letter that your show starts with to find the show.

Let’s say you’re a fan of Saturday Night Live, click on the letter “S”.


Locate and select your show.

You will be directed to a list of posted episodes.

There is a bit of information here, but the key thing is the last field (Date and Time). Shows will be chronologically listed by the date they were posted to the site. Usually the day after the show aired. Newest dates are at the top.

Then, uTorrent will open and ask you if want to add the new torrent. This means start downloading the torrent.

Of course you want to download the torrent.
