I use miro all the time it is a great bittorrent client. I have subscribed to bittorrent searches via rss feeds of my favorite tv shows. About an hour after a tv show airs in the US it is downloading on my machine. I've been 2+ years without cable or satellite using this method. <br>

I've used it as well -- pretty much exactly what he said.<br>
<br>
Likewise, I don't use it any more, because it turns out that I don't care much about video, and the vast numbers of unwatched videos started to stress me more than please me :) (It turns out that I spend about 15 minutes a month watching youtube-type content, so having something that tracks channels and locally caches and so on is pretty worthless for that sort of usage scenario).<br>
<br>
On the other hand, for a couple of weeks I was using it all the time, and found it to be quite well designed, and a simple joy to use. Highly recommended if you are video clip hound.<br>
<br>
All the Best,<br>

I've used it. If I don't use it more is because the day has just so many hours.<br>
<br>
Impressions:<br>
- It works<br>
- It's easy to use<br>
- It is in the Ubuntu repositories<br>
- Does a decent disk storage management<br>
- I found a lot of very high quality content (for my taste)<br>
- If you have some favourite internet TV sites, this is a real time saver as your programs will be there when you want to watch them without having to go with the browser and download them when you want to watch them.<br>
- I configured mythTv to look for videos in the folder where miro downloads the files so I can watch them on my TV. (In the current MythTv version I must manually refresh the list for them to appear properly)<br>
- There are some scripts that automate the MythTv integration with the upcoming version of MythTV. (It doesn't work with the current stable version)<br>
<br>
All in all is one of those applications that you set and forget.<br>
<br>
The only difficult part is really, from all that content what do you really want to download?<br>
<br>
All in all a happy client.<br>
