Watched the episode last night and it is awesome. The link i am going to post leads to a torrent which you need a program to download. Anyway can't wait for the next ten Sundays this season looks awesome. For the record this is the British Top Gear right from the bbc none of that americanized bs haha.

Episode 1 summary from finalgear:

* Jeremy attempts to drive the 641 horsepower Volkswagen Golf W12
* Jeremy, Richard, and James drive from Monaco through the Alps in three lightweight supercars — a Lamborghini Gallardo Superleggera, Porsche 911 GT3 RS, and Aston Martin N24 V8 Vantage — to find the best driving road in the world
* Star in a reasonably priced car: Dame Helen Mirren

I watched the new top gear episode yesterday, looks like it'll be another great season. oh and torrents are great if you're on a private site because they ban you if you don't seed to a 1.0 ratio.

I'm on dimeadozen, a bootleg site where the ratio is enforced. It's needed b/c some bootlegs NEED to be kept open, and its just a matter of fair sharing.

Andrew- wait for the scene/smaller rip from finalgear.com. Should be ~350 megs.

holy **** a week for a torrent to download....you must not have your settings right, assuming you're on broadband. I usually get over a meg/second on my comcast. I think it took a little over 10 mins to download top gear's torrent this week.

The new season of top gear looks f'ing sweet. I try to watch Fifth gear too, but it is just no comparison.

More so just saying if 600-700 megs takes you a day to d/l (which on broadband shouldn't) then there is the option of streaming videos (youtube, streetfire, etc).

^^ I guess... or youtube just has mad top gear episodes and they dont take years to get... I guess they put episodes on the TV aswell? Like BBC or something, but I dont have a TV in here and would rather stay on the comp...(surround sound doesn't hurt either :) ).

What you don't understand is the reason it takes these other people so long is because they are using torrents. Doesn't always matter how fast your connection is, if there isn't enough seeders or highspeed seeders then you aren't going to get it fast.

Just another reason why I don't use torrents. Youtube quality sucks.

Why youtube, when I can get it in 15 mins with damn good quality? lol

Like 05GT said, it depends on the seeders. Sometimes it may take 45 minutes, other times it may take 4 hours.

The pros for using torrents is the episode is now yours for life. I have countless Top Gear and Fifth Gear episodes. I can throw them on a flash drive (which takes a few seconds) and take them anywhere or put the episodes on a DVD, make copies for friends, etc. Plus I like watching them on a large screen.

I also have a friend who will download 2 or 3 episodes and then I’ll copy them from him. Then I’ll download the episodes he didn’t and then he’ll copy them from me. Before you know it, you’ve got an automotive video archive.:wink:

^^^ You can go to FinalGear.com where you can follow the link to any Fifth Gear/Top Gear episode to mininova.org. Or just go to mininova.org and search for Top Gear.

Whoa... I seriously can’t get enough of this show. Hammond in a Veyron vs. a Typhoon… I’m downloading right now.:rock:

I believe they leave out the news and a star in a reasonably priced car on that channel though.
