Where do you see the information on the usenet downloader? I see FTP and torrents.

I really like the advantage of downloading torrents and nzbs by using Popcorn Hour and other similar NMTs.

Laptop -> VGA output to LCD HDTV and sound goes to 5.1 system via usb soundcard

I have now retired that laptop so its now just a media pc and bought a new one as my main computer now.

Having a separate computer is so much easier.. all downloading can be done on that one too, permanently linked to external usb hdd. Well worth it IMO.

You do realize VGA has a max TRUE resolution of 720 right? How are you going to watch 1080p on that?

Yes I do.. and the quick answer is.. I don't watch 1080p. I only download 720p releases for a couple of reasons:
1. I'm only watching on a 27" LCD TV so no need for 1080p anyway
2. The laptop I'm using probably won't be able to play 1080p content
