Old Top Gear Torrent Packs

Viper007Bond · July 9th, 2008, 5:36 AM

Once this season of Top Gear is over, I'm going to start re-releasing old episodes of Top Gear (as the current list of episode has quite a few not available for download).

Any suggestions?

I was thinking of just starting at season 2 (yeah, BBC World, we can replace later if SBS airs as it'll be just one torrent) and going from there (1 season a week or something).

I remember there being 700mb rips of some of the earlier seasons, but I can't find the torrent anymore. I don't think season 2 was in there though, but it might have been.

I really, really, really want to have Season (Series) 3 complete, because I have very few episodes from that season, and the quality is really terrible (but I'd be willing to have terrible quality to just have seen the episodes).

I believe that's the only season that is patchy. I know my Season 2 are the BBC World ones which aren't that bad.

Every single episode is on the FTPs in the Video Offers area. images/smilies/tongue.gif

just to clarify, are these the 350 mb or the 700 mb ones?

I have every season but I think upto S5 or S6 all the files are 350ish mb, which looks a bit crap compared to how brilliant 700 mb looks

I would re download (and more importantly for everyone else, re-seed) all that if it was 700 mb

The best quality I can get that currently exists. Not sure what that is though as I haven't looked, but I assume they'll be 350MB BBC World rips.

I've just come across the original BBC2 showing of S2E5 on a VHS.

As it's on VHS, it isn't be WS or PDTV, but does have all the original music, news etc. included. I can rip this if wanted.

Please do! I know many of the WTS nuts really prefer the original music.

For real? I feel like such a d-bag for not even looking there. images/smilies/tongue.gif

It's now available from Tweeke's FTP. Probably still in the upload folder (Top Gear - [02x05] - 2003.06.08 BBCTwo.avi).
