Free Psp, PS2 and PS3 Games and Psp Compatible Movies Using Torrents

There are many sites currently online which offer free downloads for PSP games like PSP Blender and PSP Wizard but they still cost around 35.00$ and 40.00$ for a decent download speed. Though these sites are great sources paying is not preferable in any case so why not use torrents? Torrents are not only good for movies but also great for PSP and PS3 games as well. What people do very often is Google or search for "free psp game downloads" or "free psp games" and download malware or spyware unsuspectingly in the quest for games which are absolutely free. That poses a security risk to your PC which is unadvisable.

Torrent Clients

So how to get totally free games, well for starters download uTorrent (utorent.com) or any good BitTorrent client. Sticking to uTorrent is good as it is barely a 200KB file and is very light on system resources, not to mention it runs like a breeze without any trouble. Before beginning to download it is suggested that you have the Windows XP firewall turned on and that the torrent client is listed under exceptions (even in other firewall software), if not then your downloads will be considerably slower. Also recommended is a minimum 256Kbps broadband connection with an equal upload capability (basic rule to good torrent sharing is upload as much as you download). For perfect security also have a good anti-virus software of your choice installed.

Downloading the Torrent and Speeds

After the initial preparations have been completed then go to a good torrent indexing service such as torrentz.com or mininova and search using basic keywords such as psp games, psp, ps3 games, ps2 games,ps2 or just ps3 as per the console you own. Running the torrent is quite simple, download the *.torrent file (example Stacked.torrent) open it using the torrent client, then click on the utorrent compatible list link on the indexer page, copy the trackers (these are services which index the file so more people can share, remember more people sharing means more peers and seeds, which translates into faster downloads). Paste these trackers using the advanced tab when the file is opened in the torrent client (there will be pre-existing trackers just remove them or paste over them for the best performance). Click ok and you are ready to go, the download starts, the download speed is usually 120KB for a 1Mbps connection (figures in per second) so a 100 MB file takes around 14-15 minutes to download (speeds are never constant).

ISO and CSO Formats

The best part about all this is that the files in the current torrent file can be viewed prior to downloading (just the names) and if the files are .iso or .cso (image files of PS games) you are on your way to go. Just copy them into the games folder of your memory stick and they will show up as games ready to play. For all the PS consoles the basic element to remember before you go through this procedure is that there has to be customised firmware and the Home Brew application previously installed for any of this to work and they also are available for download with instruction files on how to customise the firmware.

There are also PSP compatible movies which are pre-encoded to run directly by copying them into the movies folder of the PSP to which may be downloaded using the torrent trackers and files, so no more painstakingly converting movies or spending on expensive mp4 converters. The movies are already in the prescribed format so they may be directly played. The procedure for a movie torrent is the same as for games. The process requires a little more patience than direct downloading but hey its completely free and that makes this worth it.
