AVI Torrents Download: A Comprehensive List of the Most Popular and Reliable Sources



In this tutorial, you'll learn how to convert torrent Videos to AVI files. As you know, the downloaded torrent videos can be MPG, AVI, MP4, MKV, WMV, or MOV format after decompressed by WinRAR or Zip if necessary. To play them smoothly, you can use the best free torrent players available. However, if you want to make the most of your torrent files, converting them to AVI files is a good choice; because AVI format is widely supported by a variety of media players, video editors, and portable devices.


Obviously the most important step in computing safety is to get your files from trusted sources. If the torrent you are using is from somewhere you trust, then presumably it should be okay. If not, then you may want to think twice about it, (especially since there are anti-piracy groups who purposely release torrents containing fakes or even malware).

However, there is a related risk that is very real. Movies on the internet these days use a variety of codecs, and the general public doesn't understand what a codec is -- all they know is "it's something I sometimes have to download so the movie will play". This is a genuine attack vector. If you download something and are told "to view this, you need the codec from [some website]", then we very sure you know what you're doing because you could infect yourself.


An avi file extension is not a guarantee that the file is a video file. You could get any .exe virus and rename it to .avi(this makes you download the virus, what is half of the path to infect your computer). If there are any exploit open on your machine that allow the virus to run, then you would be affected.


It's possible, yes, but very unlikely. You are more likely to try and view a WMV and have it auto-load a URL or ask you to download a license, which in turn pops up a browser window which could exploit your machine if it's not fully patched.


My Avast Antivirus just informed me that there was a trojan embedded in one of my downloaded movie AVIs. When I tried to quarantine it, it said the file is too big and cannot be moved, so I had to delete it instead.


If the download isn't complete yet, wait before it completes before you decide what to do. When the download is only partially complete, the missing parts of the file are essentially noise and quite prone to produce false positives when checked for malware.


As @Synetech explained in detail, it's possible to spread malware through video files, possibly before the download even finishes. But that it's possible doesn't mean that it's likely. From my personal experience, the odds of a false positive during an ongoing download are much higher.


AVI files won't be infected with virus. When you download movies from a torrent, instead of AVI, if the movie is in a RAR package or it is as an EXE file, then surely there is a chance of virus in it.


Some of them ask you to download an additional codec from some website to view the movie. These are the suspect ones. But if it is AVI, then you can surely give iy a try playing it in your video player. Nothing will happen.


AVI files cannot have a virus if they are video files. While downloading your browser keeps the download in its own format that is why the antivirus detects it as a virus. When downloading the AVI file make sure after downloading the file is run in a video player if it is an invalid file then it will not play and no prices for guessing it will be a virus then.


In November 2007, aXXo deleted all of their files released after September 7, 2006 from The Pirate Bay protesting that the site was allowing harassing comments to be added to their torrents by "possible members of MPAA".[2] While past aXXo torrents remained available on other torrent sites, uploads of new aXXo files stopped on November 11, 2007.[1][2] After an absence of four months aXXo returned to uploading, starting with the movie I Am Legend on March 9, 2008.[1][5][6]


On March 11, 2009, aXXo stopped uploading new files after releasing Punisher: War Zone. For a while they logged into Mininova until the site switched to only hosting torrents that were Content Distribution free or torrents with no copyrights.[8]


I can only say a big thank you for your appreciation mates, hope you all enjoy the darkside as much as you can My home is my beloved Darkside and as I've said so many times before on each of my torrents.... Be aware of bogus sites and lamers See ya.[9]


aXXo converted commercial DVD movies into approximately 700 MB .avi files which were then used to create a .torrent file that were uploaded to Bittorrent Trackers allowing the movie to be downloaded.[10] On file sharing websites, aXXo files attracted large followings with more than a million users downloading aXXo files each month.[11] Files released by aXXo followed the naming convention "Name.Of.Movie[year]DvDrip[Eng]-aXXo.avi",[12] where "DvDrip[Eng]" implied it was ripped from an English-language disc and "avi" referred to the resulting file format. The video was encoded according to the MPEG-4 ASP standard, compatible with the Xvid codec. The aXXo postings also carried a .nfo file about the movie and an attached text file that states, in part: "Be aware of bogus sites and lamers, download your aXXo files from aXXo accounts. Enjoy!"


I used to get extremely frustrated with Bit Torrents. I stream all of my media at home to all of my devices, but only from specific folders. I would start a download of a movie, relax until it was done, then wish that it would somehow auto-magically move my torrents into their corresponding folders when they finished (Ex: /music, /video). This way, I could lay in bed, watching movies via streaming on my Xbox 360, and then have the movies automatically available as soon as they were done downloading. This dream wasn't so far fetched, once I got to thinking.


You inspired me to make one that unrar's a file once it's downloaded and put it on my desktop. As i usually download scene releases this is generally the state of my completed downloads.It requires:1) Set OUTPUT to the output directory (where the files will be placed) and RAR to the 7zip directory (you need 7zip installed, it's free). Be sure to maintain the quotations around the path(if there are spaces in these paths it will not work without quotations).2) The 'Run this program when a torrent finishes' box in utorrent to contain: [full path to the batch file] "%D". For example that box in my utorrent contains: C:\Users\Name\Downloads\e.bat "%D"This batch code is:@echo offset OUTPUT="C:\Users\Name\Desktop\"set RAR="C:\Program Files\7-Zip\"%RAR%7z.exe e -o%OUTPUT% -y %1\*.rar%RAR%7z.exe e -o%OUTPUT% -y %1\*\*.rar


Some torrent movies come embedded with a subtitle track as part of the file, while others include a subtitle track as part of the video itself. In the case of the latter, you cannot get rid of the subtitles. However, most downloaded movie files with embedded subtitles are in .avi, .mkv or .mp4 format, which you can remove using VLC player, a free, open source multimedia player (see Resources to download). 2ff7e9595c
