How to download and view Bittorrent Videos in Miro

I had a second look at Miro some days ago. Miro is a Internet TV client, some use the term Videocast player, but that’s not really what it is all about. Miro can play Video feeds of course but it can do more. It plays videos from video sites like Youtube and Dailymotion and downloads those videos to your hard drive so that you can watch those videos anytime you want without connecting to the Internet.

Miro can also download and play Bittorrent videos. The process is pretty easy and straightforward. All you need is a url that points to a torrent file that contains one or more videos. Click on file > download in Miro to download the files automatically with Miro which does all the configuration meaning that you do not have to fiddle with Bittorrent settings at all.

This is great for the majority of people who simply do not want to configure thousand options to be able to download torrents. You can configure a handful of options though in file > options by clicking on the downloads tab. You may limit the upload or download bandwidth, select the ports that should be used for Bittorrent transfers, automatically forward ports and select if you want to reject unencrypted connections.

Once a video has been downloaded it is available in your library where you can watch it or move it into one of your channels. Downloads can be paused or canceled at anytime and users have the option to stop seeding the video when it finished downloading.

    Once again Martin you have failed to offer a link to where the program can be obtained, and your screenshot cannot be enlarged so that it can actually be read.
