CouchPotato

CouchPotato, as it’s name suggests, is an application designed for those who are less ambitious, so as not to call them lazy, when it comes to searching for movies and downloading them.

It’s a browser based app that allows you to create a ‘wish list’ of all the movies (released or unreleased) that you want to watch. It then automatically searches for them on NZBs and Torrents sites, and if they are available, CouchPotato tells your download software to grab them.

Basically, the only thing you have to do is insert the name of the movie in the search box, wait a bit for the application to lookup the movie and then select it from a list of results, along with the quality you want it to be in.

After you click the ‘Add’ button, the movie is inserted to the wish list and the application starts looking for it. Once it is found, CouchPotato displays information about the plot of the movie, release year, available video quality and even offers you a link that leads to even more details about the movie. It really does everything for you except press the keys and move your mouse cursor around.

If you’re lazy and picky too, then you’ve found the right app. Since CouchPotato scans a large database for movies, it’s bound to locate more than one that fits your quality requirement. To further help you out in this matter, you can browse the entire list of similar results and pick the exact movie you want.

As far as search customization goes, CouchPotato still makes your life very easy. Besides the fact that it allows you to use the biggest torrent providers out, it even enables you to set the seed ratio and time.

To sum things up, if you don’t want to spend time online looking for HD releases for movies that aren’t even out yet, you can use CouchPotato to search the web and grab them for you.
