If you miss an episode of your favorite TV show because you were stuck in traffic, forgot to set the VCR, or whatever, you can download the episode from here:

Use the experimental bittorrent client and cap your uploads to ~5KB/s.

Tried this and got two files downloaded but the files were unplayable according to Quicktime and Microsuck....Bittorrent seemed impressive but I have a question. The file downloaded, then it said it tried to run a different download which failed to connect. Is it a two part download or something?

If you downloaded MPG files, they should just play as is. If you downloaded an AVI file, you probably need the latest DivX codec that you can get from http://www.divx.com

I've never heard of a two part download, so maybe your file wasn't finished downloading after all? Until you see the message "Download Complete!" not all the parts are there (bittorrent allocates space immediately, so it looks as if you have a complete file, but it's only filling it in with data as it goes along)

He's probably talking about media player trying to download a codec for divx and failing.

No it was really strange. Bittorrent was downloading. I had a slider that indicated 100% complete, then it tried connecting again somewhere else. I am at work behind a firewall and wonder if that was the issue but disappointing...need my 24 fix.

I think the program is p2p in design. If you leave it running it turns you into a server so people can download the file from you.

It was the corporate firewall. When I moved out it all worked.

This appears to be them, though the site has worked 1/3 times that I have attempted to get there today.

Have fun!
