Default Downloading movies

Yes it's been done to death but I'm not going to search so before all the search Nazi's start..........................GFY

I don't know anything about doing this so I have a couple of questions.

First off I found this site, is it any good? I have no prob paying if it works or is there something better? They say it takes between 40 & 90 min to download a movie, problem is you can't see what they have until you sign up.
http://www.moviescapital.com/index.html

Second, I have 15gig off peak download time between 4am & 9am & I have about 550 gig of free space on my computer, if I was to sign up for this site or something similar can I set my computer to switch itself on at 4am so I use up the 15gig I'm basically throwing away at the moment?

This is the plan I'm on, is there something better out there for the same price or less? I can quit any time I like & I hate Soul......fooking Indians
$49.95 1500k/256k 25GB1 (10GB+15GB) 64k/64k Static

Thanks in advance for any help.

1. Download utorrent (google it).
2. www.torrentz.com / www.mininova.org / www.thepiratebay.com (google them all).
3. Use first link, search for your required file (Eg. Prison Break, Superbad, etc etc).
4. Download/save torrent.
5. Open torrent in utorrent and allow it to download.

Utorrent allows you to schedule your downloads to run between certain times if you need. So you can leave your computer on, and it will only download torrent files only between those times.

As above, but also upgrade your internet. Shop around to find what you like with the most amount of bandwidth possible. Personally i use and recommend AMCOM.

http://amnet.com.au/Products/Broadband.aspx

Check out there plans there.

As avbove, but set put your PC on standby and set your scheduler to turn PC on and start uTorrent at 4am and then shutdown at 9am.

PM Luigi, he works for iiNet. But I pay $69.95 a month I think, and I get way faster speeds than that, and my limit is 15gB on / 20gB off i think. I have been with iiNet for the last 9 years, and I have had no problems with them, and have no real reason to change. Oh and im also on Naked DSL, so I don't pay line rental for my mobile, VOIP calls are free, unless i ring a mobile or overseas (which i never do, because my mobile phone is on a cap anyway, so all out going call's are from that)

Also, with uTorrent you can set the scheduler (as mentioned above) however, I leave my PC on 24/7 as most ppl do now-a-days, and I just set it to download most things during off peak time (with iiNet its 2am - 11:59am) Its pretty easy to do, its in your preferences, and you just click in the timeslot you want and there are 3 options (full download, limited - Kb/s limit can be set, or seeding only)

The only downside to naked DSL, is upload's count towards your 'download' quota... i don't know why they do, but they do, so just be wary of this, and don't let things seed too often, or limit your uploading bandwidth.

When you use torrents, make sure there are lots of seeds (available sources) or you'll be waiting forever for a download. There is a column that lists the number of seeders and if you click on it it will sort by ascending order.

Also I find it better to have a higher seeder count then peer, so more people are uploading then downloading,
public torrents are okay if the seed ratio is good, private torrents you can get better speeds (thats what i find, somecases people may find it the otherway)
eztv is a great site for tv shows

use demonoid if your using public torrents/trackers. amnet or iinet are good for an ISP. best setup for torrents is a linux box running torrentflux-b4rt. try make friends with someone on a private torrent site so you can get an invite.
