It is freaking huge Isaac!

It is 9 gigs! I started the download last night and it started out really slow. When I left my house this morning it said it had 66 hours to go. So we will see what happens.

I just got this in the mail last night and it is great. The picture and sound are great and it was a great show as well.

Only watched a little last night, can't wait to get home to that bad boy.

You never got that new hard drive Isaac? It is time to invest. I installed a 120 giger in my second computer. I am gonna use it just to store stuff on.

Man I can't hardly wait to watch this show. This will be my first time watching one of these videos. Is the sound usually pretty good or what??

I've been downloading for 2 days. 50% baby. I have a bit torrent question. People always talk about how many seeds, peers there are on a torrent. How do they get this info? Where do you get the 'stats' about a given torrent?

Hmmm that is a tough decision you have to make there Isaac!

Has anyone got this show yet? I am so anxious to watch it. I was at 42% this morning before I left my house.

You can use a client like Torrent Spy , it can check how many incomplete downloads and so on , there are

Torrent Spy

I personally haven't tried this program , so i can't say anything about it

You're probably using the official bittorrent client, which works fine, but isn't very full-featured. Most 'unofficial clients' will show you this information, and you can also find the number of seeds/peers on the tracker website (the post with the torrent *should* contain the link to the tracker, but a lot of noob traders don't put it). Anyway, bottom line, switch to a more full-featured client. There's a whole slew of them and everyone will promote their own. I used to use Shadow's a lot, then I switched to ABC, which is based off of Shadow's code, but it has a nice GUI and allows you to manage multiple downloads from one program instead of having multiple windows for each download. and it remembers all of your torrent information, so if you restarted or whatever, you don't have to go find the torrent again, you just open ABC and tell it to resume.
