Noow is a free software which is an HD media player, a torrent downloader, podcast client, website browser, video converter and multimedia file organizer. It works similar to Miro Internet TV, but provides much better options which enable seamless integration of YouTube, MegaVideo, Vimeo, Hulu, YouTorrent and other websites.
You can integrate any web service which offers audio, video or torrent downloading to Noow interface. For example, you can integrate Megavideo or PiratesBay by simply adding their URL in Noow. This will allow you to download audio, videos or Torrent files using Noow. See below instructions to learn about Noow usage.

Noow is a comprehensive program which can perform all requirements of a true media player, with additional functionality. I would be interested in seeing some kind of Live TV and Xbox integration with Noow, so that it may become a viable alternative to Windows Media Center.
Note: It’s worth mentioning here that Noow is ad-supported, as it offers to change the browsers homepage and default search engine. You can perform a custom install to avoid installing these components. Noow works on
