So who else is excited? I'm DL'ing the new episode right now in anticipation of a kick-ass show. Last season was far too short, so here's hoping they make up for it tonight.

Jeremy mind sending me a link to whereever you downloading it from? And what time/channel is it on. I've never watched the show religiously, just watched a bunch of episodes online and loved what I've seen.

The mecca of automotive goodness. It's airing the the BBK US channel, but since I don't have that, I couldn't tell you when it is aired here stateside. As for it's original airing, it's on Sunday night in the UK, so mid afternoon here. The rip is usually up on Final Gear's website within an hour of the episode airing.

I love you.
I used to religiously watch it every week when it was on in the US.

Go download this:

http://www.utorrent.com/

then use this:

http://www.mininova.org/tor/928581

download faster, better, and easier.

EDIT: for reference, I pulled down the entire file in about an hour, and that's only because I was one of the first people to get the torrent when it was released. With the amount of seeds it has now, I would be you could pull it in 20-30 minutes.

You're only getting sound and no video? Try downloading this codec pack: http://www.cccp-project.net/

That pack along with a few handpicked ones, and I never have to worry about anything ever not playing.

If you got sound only you may not have the video codec to view the video properly.

I think their encoded with DivX. Do you have that loaded?

An alternative is to search for "K lite codec pack" download and install that it will set you up with most of the stuff you need to watch videos off the net.

ARG!

I need some help.

I've downloaded the new episode (4) four times now, and each time it errors out with 95% left. Which gives me the full file, though it is corrupted and really just annoying to watch.

I need a good copy of it. Anyone who successfully downloaded the most recent episode (Season 10 Ep 4) if you could please temp host it for me to download, or I can give you a temp log in to my server and you can upload it on there. I don't know why I'm having trouble downloading this episode. But I'm sad, and I want to see the desert excursion. :D

That is where I download from, and I've never had a single problem with the exception of episode 4. :lol:

Chris, can you give Ep 4 a shot at downloading?
