Topic: AVI > DVD?

[Simon]

Well, I got the bug, and decided to download another programme I had missed, but the download was so bloody slow, I've already missed this week's as well, so I've given up.  Poxy torrents!  Was True Dare Kiss any good? 

[Sandra]

Have you opened some ports in the firewall/router to allow max speed downloads via torrents Simon ?

[Simon]

Yes, some are OK, it's just this one that was very slow, Sandra

I got all of season 3 of Lost a few weeks back.
Was around 8.5 gig as divx, about 22 episodes.
It took around 5 days as it was coming in ok in early morning but crawling in the evening but I didnt mind as I just left the other pc downloading it 

I had a marathon session the week after I got it completed, I watched nothing on TV apart from the news.
Whenever I had chance I watched 1 or 2 episodes of Lost.
I finished watching them in about 5 days and the quality was superb with AC3 surround sound from my pc through component at 720p into my Samsung HD CRT TV.
You wouldnt believe how much better it is than those crappy plasma and LCD TVs   

I then found that I have about 40 gig of TV programs recorded on my Humax PVRs hard drive which I still havent caught up on yet

I thought that, until I bought a 'crappy' 37" plasma, and the picture quality is superb, even on standard definition.  I haven't seen anything on HD yet, but from all accounts, the PQ is stunning.

I'm downloading that right now....... I'm sure mine is taking a lot longer than that but then I'm not downloading 24hrs a day tho. But I'm downloading them in order so I can watch as I go

I found one that was the whole season Michelle, same as I did with season 1 and 2 but I watched those as they were broadcast on C4.
Since Sky pinched season 3 I was unable to watch it so I decided to wait until it was all uploaded by presumably the same nice person who did the other seasons as a complete series.
Not sure if hes in the USA or Oz but he records them off a HD source and converts them to good quality Xvid.
I think its the best one so far, I am sure that you will like it 

[Michelle]

Yeah this is the whole season but i tick which episodes i want as high priority - the rest still download but at low priority but it means i don't have to wait until I've got all of them til I can watch it 

oooh you think its the best one


By the way sorry , well done Simon
