Can we have two torrents - one of the 700mb file and one of the re-encoded smaller file?

It would be nice to see one episode in better quality.
I've seen one of the 700 MB rips and the quality is no better. Size isn't verything images/smilies/wink.gif

I don't think the quality is much better, certainly not enough to justify it's filesize

(all of this on drying tarmac btw, no way i would have done it on bone dry road)

hehehe I'm so lucky to be able to see the show every Sunday evening on TV images/smilies/smile.gif I only download the rips to have a collection of past eps/ cars images/smilies/smile.gif

And yes, this episode was great images/smilies/wink.gif Here are a few bits to chew on: JC drives a Jag S-type diesel around Nurburgring and gets beaten by a girl, Christian Slater is the star in a reasonably-priced car, Hammond drives the GT version of the Mogan Aero 8 (BTW I just love that car!), they test the classic Mercedes "Gullwing" SL, Hammond and a few British touring-car race champions race some old MPVs and last but not least, JC comments on all the negative press for his initiative to drive a Land Rover up the mountain images/smilies/wink.gif

Torrentbits is a closed torrent site, and the tracker uses your user passkey given to you when you join. So a link would do nothing for you since the tracker would simply reject your download request.

Exactly. I'm well aware that it's a better quality rip, but you have a to draw a line in the sand, else we could do 5 GB direct MPEG rips. I drew the line at 350 MB 'cause I felt any more was a waste of HD and bandwidth for the tiny increase in quality.

Anyway, a friend is re-encoding it for me as I'm clueless when it comes to this video stuff. I'll go check to see how he's doing.
