BBC World, if you have a satellite dish... But I don't know if they still show TopGear images/smilies/wacko.gif

Do you watch normal BBC channels in Holland?

Still no episode images/smilies/sad.gif

This wait is killing me, I have to convince my wife to move to the UK images/smilies/mrgreen.gif

BBC World showed half an hour versions of Top Gear a while back, but TG isn't mentioned in program listings so far(I have lists until friday).

Tracker configuration file fixed - it had been overwritten. images/smilies/wink.gif

Torrent to be released in a few minutes, but I seem to be the only one around who will be seeding, so it'll be semi-slow speeds. images/smilies/wacko.gif

I downloaded it this morning before work and quickly scrolled through to see some of the contents. I'm not giving anything away, but I don't think the 300C fared very well. I was a little surprised, frankly, because 5th Gear thought it was ok. Of course, TG often gives a bit of a different spin on many cars -- it's part of the reason why I like it so much.

Nope, just a lack of seeders to upload. I'm pushing 90KB/sec up right now.

I was at 4KB/s images/smilies/mrgreen.gif

I've had to stop because I'm downloading a V8 race and it's far from finished images/smilies/sad.gif

I wish I had a better connection.

Faster uploads will give you a better priority from other downloads to give you bandwidth. Simply put, the more you upload, the more likely you are to get better download speeds.

Set your max upload to 80% of your real upload rate as downloading requires a little bit of upload bandwidth.
