Downloading the TV Shows from the sites we index isn't always easy, every free file hosting site has it's own rules and style. Its best you don't have a very slow internet connection as all the files we post are around 350MB each altough some times we do post RVMB downloads which are small in size but these will still take time to download if using dial-up. All the downloads we post are FREE and you should never have to pay for anything we share. If it is asking you for money then try another link as some sites have a limited amount of free spots and won't let people take free downloads. The member plans seen at the top right of this page are only for people who have enjoyed the site and wish to upgrade their account, you do not have to buy one of these plans to view or use the downloads.

Before you start downloading you will need to install a few programs all these are again free and do not come with any spyware, hidden codes or costs. You need them just to view the .AVI file in your chosen video player. The first program is the Xvid codec. In the event that downloading and installing the Xvid codec (you did reboot right?) does not work you might want to try VLC Media Player because it includes built in support for many formats that require special codecs to play in Windows Media Player. If you are unsure on installing files onto your PC give it a try without them first, some newer PC's may come with the software needed already installed.

PLEASE NOTE: You will need to be a member of the Oliv3r.net Forum in order to view and enjoy the downloads.

SINGLE LINK DOWNLOADS

Once you have the Xvid codec installed you can now move on to downloading the single link files. (to use the part downloads please read lower down). For this I am going to use Lost S04E07 and the single download link from a web site called megaupload.com. We do not host the downloads on this site due to legal reasons, this is why other links hosts are used.

http://www.megaupload.com/?d=LZL6PMV5 - This is the link highlighted above which is what we call a "single link download" and is the best way to start. Using part downloads is more work for people who are not sure how to download files but is the quickest way to go.

Once you have your chosen single link download go ahead and click it. This will take you to another site which will have the episode stored on their server. Every free host has their own rules and ways to get the download to start but as I have chosen megaupload.com I will show you how that site works.

1. Once you hit the Megaupload page it will say somewhere near the top "Please enter *random code* here:" put the code in the box and click download.
   
2. This will then give you another page which should have a premium and a free area, at the bottom of the free area should have a count down. Wait for that count down to end and click free download.
   
   
   
3. This will then say loading download and you may get a popup. The file should then ask you to save or open, you would be best to click save and now you need to wait while the file is downloading.
   
   
4. Once you have all of the the file downloaded first take a look and make sure it is a .AVI file (right click, then properties) and is around 350MB (could be over or under a little) if this is right click play and enjoy.

PART DOWNLOADS

Using part downloads will require more work for the downloader but due to most file hosts blocking uploads of over 100mb the show has to be spilt into parts so it can be uploaded and most of the downloads are posted in only this format. But just because it has been spilt doesn't mean the file (show) after downloading will be in four parts as once extracting it will be a normal single file with no cuts or parts. It is 100% the same as a single link after you have downloaded all four parts and used winrar to open it.

First and before you start downloading please note, for this you will need all the programs pointed out at the top of this page, plus one more. This one is called Winrar, without this once you have downloaded all the parts you will not be able to open the .RAR files to start the extraction process. Also I must point out you can not download one part and then watch a bit of the show. You need ALL the parts and cannot do anything until you have them.

Interchangeable Links, when we post download sets they are interchangeable. This means all the part downloads that you may see in one group can be mixed. So you could take one part from each host such as one file from Rapidshare and three parts from megaupload.com. The good thing about this is you can download all 4 parts at once missing out the download limits some free hosts set.

After you have downloaded all the 4 parts make sure you have them all in the same folder so the extraction process will run smoothly. But first be sure to check the file sizes. Most of the time, all parts except for the last one will have the same file size. If you see that one of them is less than the others, then that part is incomplete and all you need to do is delete the incomplete part, re-download it, and run the extraction again.

Then right click on the first folder named part 1 and go to "extract to."


You should then get a popup box which will be running a progress bar

Once that has done you will then have you single file which should be around 350mb in size. Give it a click and enjoy the show. Once again any issues please take them to the support area of the forum where a member of staff will be happy to help you.
