Some of you may already know how to do this, some may not...
It's a nice way to get video/music files on your PS3 if you do not have a USB, or if you just wanna avoid the hassle of transferring it from your computer to your PS3. When it says paste the whole URL of the torrent in there, just go to Mininova and get the last numbers on the url, then key those into the Mininova ID. A lot easier then getting the whole URL, but it's up to you.
Anyway:

Step 4: Find your torrent online and find its save link. This usually ends in .torrent or contains the word get in the URL. Remember we want to link directly to the torrent file, not the page its found on. Here we've found the Citizen Engineer Movie.
