Trick to avoid the You Have watched 72 Minutes on mega/VideoBB.
So I just thought I'd share this, it is probably already well known but just in case your a noob with computers like me.

First open up like 4 episodes or a movie / how ever much you want to watch. I did it with Friends (Classic).

Let all of them load, don't hit play yet. When all of the episodes (or one of them) load, turn off your internet connection (or airport if you have a mac).
It has to be loaded 100% or else it craps out, and it shouldn't take to long because its decent servers. The episodes / movie will play with no interruption

Happy Procrastination!!

Reset router if you have dynamic IP. Easiest workaround.

I agree, so many people don't know about this.

A simple unplug and plug and your set to go ^^

When you view the video on the internet for example in your web browser, you are temporarily downloading the video to watch it and afterwards it is removed. So when you download the file instead of temporarily downloading it, you're permanently downloading it to watch afterward as well (or start a collection).

If like me last year do not have access to the router, load it inIE ( the ONLY time its worth having it),
then under tools>options go to your temp file folder. sort by size. the largest file should be the video. just rename it and add extension .flv

While this can be done in Firefox, its not easy.Havent tried it in Chrome as I just use megaupload to download the megavideo files.

If you need any help just msg me

This does not always work because a lot of sites now have the time limits embedded into the video itself and not a counting timer streamed. Therefore cutting off your internet connection will not work. Also, thats a pain. I like internet.

Other ways:
1) Set your router to have dynamic IP addresses then simply reset the router when the timer runs out. The router once set will request a new IP from your ISP and you will the be able to watch unlimited TV

2) http://www.sheepser.com/
Switches IP on their servers you dont have to do any work. No more time-limits, no router adjusting, just copy-paste your megavideo/videobb/etc address into the box and hit play.

3) use another website. Most websites that give you links to TV are attempting to move away from links that are time limited. If you find only megavideo links then the website you are using sucks. putlocker, sockshare, and vidbux are all just as fast but unlimited in time.

^warning against that. ISPs can track torrents easily. Although they can track both public and private torrent trackers it seems lawsuits have only been filed against those using public torrent sites. Thus if i were u dont torrent unless you have a semi private torrent tracker
