Rep Power: 14 ![]() | High quality rips made from the original airings are now available for season 4 of Top Gear. These are 700MB rips and are of comparable quality to rips from this last season (i.e. very good). Since they were ripped from the original airings, they also feature the original music rather than generic synthesized replacement music which is usually added to reairings due to licensing issues.

And as the normal traffic limit is 12gb (I happen to know the right people ), I can't really complain about it.And it's just damn fast ![]() I think I'll just have to download it at my parents place ![]() |

| This is totally cool. I was looking at past episodes this week and my favorite episode I think of all time (the DB9 race) looks really poor compared to the new stuff. I can't wait to re-watch this season with decent quality (and the authentic music is a nice plus).

| Not A Dude | Shcweeeet! The fuzzy-blah* of the old eps drives me nuts. *I know "fuzzy-blah" ain't very technical, but I think it describes the poor quality pretty well.

Had Vuk started ripping from BBC2 by this point to the quality settings we're used to? Last edited by Ironlord; August 9th, 2008 at 12:12 PM.. |

These "new" rips are the best by a long shot.

Rep Power: 31 ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() | Right, let's see... File size: 300 MB. Screen size: 480 × 304 pixels. Sound: stereo. Length: 59m50s. Opening sequence: series preview with twangy guitar music that Jezza hates and Hamster tells him is The Strokes... ...BBC 2 rip, by the looks of things. What I have came from one of these mega-packs - at the time it was a 25 GB job with series 1-6, which I picked up because series 1 and 2 were not available here at the time (and I think bits of 3 were missing as well). I'll download 4x01 of this new pack to see what the difference is... and take it from there. Incidentally, about half of series 6 in this pack is made of 700 MB rips, and I'll check to see if those are the full-fat high-caffeine BBC 2 versions as well. |
