Is it me? Can't download videos!
 
Please don't get frustrated with me.:o I have just upgraded to LW Pro. I am unable to download any movies. When I went to download a movie, it would open a browser to a website (don't want to get into trouble by posting it - incase it's considered as advertising).:( But now I have upgraded, I still can't download any movies. Is it me?:confused: I now get the green writing in the 'speed', and when I hover, it says again about this website. This has limited my choices from where to download from... Majority are to this website. I understand about spam, but all I want is to be able to get some movies. Can someone (without sounding too stupid) walk me through what I am doing wrong...?:rolleyes: Please...

Hi Baz,
There's a lot of spam around as you said!! Try varying your search terms when you look for movies. Try actors' names & even the director's name. Also try the All Types search, rather than just Video. Searching at different times of day can help... as users in other time zones log on & off, new files become available. If you're searching for a really new release, it's likely you'll find mostly spam. Stay away from files that have a huge number of sources (up to 100), go for a file with 10 sources or less.

Always look up a file before download with Bitzi. If the file's been rated, you'll get an idea of content & quality.
How to use Bitzi
