Why should I use Firefox to view movies? I've been using IE since the beginning

There are several reasons, but mainly it's because Firefox has a lot of useful plug-ins, add-ons, extension, etc. Another thing is that, there are some web players for flash movies, that work only in Firefox.

INSTALL FIREFOX NOW, IT'S FREE!

Everytime i want to download, it opens windows media player and not downloading?

There are several ways to solve this but the simplest would be to do the following:

Another way:

  • Use a download manager, so that everytime you click on a downloadable link, download manager would open up.
  • Or you can copy and paste the download link to your download manager to download.

How to stream videos without using Divx web player

USE VLC MEDIA PLAYER

Here's how to do it:

  1. Open VLC and go to --> FILE --> OPEN NETWORK STREAM
  2. Tick the radio button for HTTP/HTTPS/FTP/MMS
  3. Type the DIRECT LINK to its URL box and click OK
  4. VLC's AVI INDEX box might appear with a message:

  5. "The AVI file is broken. Seeking will not work correctly.
    Do you want to try to repair it (this might take a long time)?"

    Click NO

The video might not stream perfectly. It will depend on the speed of the host server and also your internet connection. However, this is a good alternative just in case you don't want to use Divx web player. It's also a way to preview the quality of the movies before downloading them.

How to open .rar files

You probably had seen people uploading and downloading rar files. A lot of movies on file hosting sites are stored as rar. Rar files are used because they take up less space to store, and take less time to download. They are also a very convenient way to package and send groups of related files.

However, you can't run a program directly from a rar file. They must be extracted or unzipped before they can be used.

What can you use to open rar files?

1. BitZipper

- It's a very versatile, yet easy to use archive manager. It isn't designed primarily for working with Rar files, and it can open Zip files, Cab files and 17 other popular compressed and encoded file formats. It can create archives using most of these formats too, plus it's a fast and flexible backup tool.

2. WinRAR

- If you need to be able to not only open, but also create Rar archives, then you'll need to buy WinRAR. The Rar compression algorithm is proprietary, so no other archive managers are able to provide full support for Rar archives.
