Demonoid has a huge torrent index comprising of over 210000 torrents. Some of these are tracked by Demonoid's own tracker (inferno.demonoid.com) while others use external trackers such as TPB. Another great aspect of Demonoid is the helpful community of BitTorrent users. Although it may not feature the lightning fast download speeds of most private torrent trackers, Demonoid has some very rare content such as a large collection of Comics, Rare applications, PC game rips and lots of other scene and non scene content which makes up for it. Simply put, it's a must have site for any BitTorrent user.

List of notable PC Games to be released in January 2009

Posted: 03 Jan 2009 01:15 AM CST

In the last two months of 2008, a lot of good PC games were released in a quick succession. There has hardly been any notable release after Prince of Persia 2008 which was released on the second week of December. There are however several good looking titles coming out for the PC in January 2009. Here are some previews, videos, protection/DRM details and other info for several notable upcoming PC game releases for this month.

1. Saints Row 2
saints row 2 box 
Info: It's what I'd like to call a GTA clone. Let's hope it's better optimized than GTA 4.
Release Date: January 05, 2009
Protection: Steam. Expect steam rips and homemade ISOs of the game to be leaked.
System Requirements: http://www.vgrequirements.info/?p=7737
Gameplay Video: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=meP62UPanio
Previews: Gamespot Preview

2. Mirror's Edge
Mirror's edge box 
Info: I have very high hopes for this title. It's a FPS that takes place in a rather unique setting.
Release Date: 13 January, 2009
Protection: Not sure but considering this one comes from EA, I'd bet it's SecuROM. RELOADED, ViTALITY, DarkC0der (non-scene), Raz0r1911 were some of the groups that cracked SecuROM last year.
System Requirements: http://www.vgrequirements.info/?p=7812
GamePlay Video: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=I6yhrzvzkRI (Probably on console version)
Previews: GameSpot Preview

3. Lord of the Rings : Conquest

Info: Another game based on the LOTR universe. IT's a hack n slash action/adventure game.
Release Date: 13 January, 2009
Protection: Another EA published title. Most likely it's SecuROM.
System Requirements: http://www.vgrequirements.info/?p=7810
Gameplay Video: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=aZVTKqnKHX0  
Preview: Gamespot Preview

Note that the above was based on my (the writer's) personal preference. All release dates are for the North American (NA) version of the games.

Keep reading FILEnetworks Blog as we will be updating if any of these (and other PC games) get leaked or cracked.

DCTorrent (Desi Club Torrent) – Indian/Pakistani movie, music and TV show torrents

Posted: 02 Jan 2009 02:30 PM CST

Some good news for Indian/Bollywood/Desi (or whatever else you call them) movie fans. DCTorrents (Desi Club Torrent) is one of the best Hindi/Indian movies trackers currently online. It's a private torrent tracker and a forum and is usually closed for public registrations. However DCTorrent, like many other private trackers, have opened signups in celebration of the new year.

Since I'm no Hindi movie fan I wouldn't be able to comment much about the content here (perhaps our Indian/Pakistani readers can enlighten us). As far as I know, this definitely is one of the best places to download Hindi/Bollywood/Lollywood movies and music for free (similar to trackers such as ExDesi (Open), iDesiR (Open), Desitorrents and BwTorrents) . DCTorrent seem to have a lot of OST (official soundtracks) and music videos. The site's main attraction however is Hindi movies which come as DVDRips, HDRips, Blu-Ray, Pre DVD releases, VCD and other forms. At the time this post is being written, DCTorrent tracks over 10000 torrents.

Apart from the torrent tracker, DCTorrents seem to have a pretty active community. Their forums is home to discussions ranging from politics, sports to tutorials and guides for BitTorrent. As stated earlier DCTorrent is currently open for public registrations. There is a forum post regarding the open signup:

As a New Year's gift we at DCT have decided to open registrations for you folks . Do let your friends and family, as you dont know up until when this will last!

Since the site may close public signups anytime, you better register ASAP. It seems to be a great tracker for fans of Indian and Pakistani movies.

Copy and backup DVD to hard drive with DVD Shrink 3.2.0.15

Posted: 02 Jan 2009 01:43 PM CST

DVD Shrink is one of the most user friendly and least resource consuming DVD backup software. It allows you to backup your DVD5/DVD9 disks to hard drive or any other storage device. With the help of a DVD burning software such as Nero Burning ROM, you can later write these files to an empty DVD disk to create a replica of the original.

One great feature of DVD Shrink is that it's able to resize and adjust the DVD files on hard disk to fit on the destination disk. If you want to backup copy protected DVD titles with DVD Shrink, use a 3rd party application that can bypass DVD encryption/copy protection such as AnyDVD or DVDFab for best results. A complete tutorial on how to rip/backup a DVD disk using DVD Shrink can be found here.

Developer Description

DVD Shrink is a software application that allows you to backup your DVD disks.You can use this software in conjunction with DVD burning software of your choice, to make a backup copy of any DVD video disk. DVD Shrink does not burn DVDs! The output from DVD Shrink is saved as files on your hard drive, which you can then burn to a DVD-R using separate burning software, such as the software provided with your DVD-R drive.

Most DVD video titles are simply too large to fit, without modification, onto a single recordable DVD-R disk. DVD Shrink overcomes this problem by modifying or "shrinking" the data from your original DVD.
DVD Shrink provides two ways of shrinking your DVD disk. These are re-authoring and re-encoding. You can use one, or the other, or for maximum "shrinkage", both combined.

Download

DVD Shrink is free software. It's only 1MB in file size so even dial up users should have no problems downloading this one.
