haha nah you didn't. Takes alot to piss me off. Yeah I'm getting it from the same place and it still says 1 seed 1 leecher.

Probably should keep this thread open for discussing the episode though and not how fast (or exceedingly slow) we are getting it at.

Enjoy the episode mate.

Download seems a bit slow this week, but the speed seems to be ramping up a bit, finally broke 100KB/sec. Can't wait to see it.

Well my download speed sucks ass, which is what you get when its not a caring community of seeders and fans.

*sigh* Just another example of taking away a good service and making us use a shit one, just to perform the same function.. When FinalGear released these, speeds were fantastic and quality was great.. god knows what happens now.

Believe it or not, I was able to get the best download speeds I've ever gotten tonight getting the "350 meg" version.

A while ago, I wanted a TVR, but after reading more reviews and seeing more about them, I really don't want one anymore.

The Maserati Bora was a gorgeous car, though I think it's a car with an identity crisis. Is it a hypercar or is it a fancy GT car? Looks like it's trying to be both.

DB9 Volante. Man, was I ever disappointed. I'm a big convertible fan. I own a Honda S2000 which has an extremely stiff chassis for a normal car, which makes it phenomenal as a convertible. I like cars where you can experience the senses of open-air motoring and still reap all the benefits of a sports car. To me, a sports car should have no roof. Now for a track special car, roof all the way. Thing is, once I saw the DB9 I fell in love with it. I think it's a gorgeous car, and I would get one in the hardtop version. But once I saw the Volante, it's just so much prettier. But, I think the Hamster hit it dead on. If the car really has lost that much torsional rigidity, then it's lost the appeal that the DB9 had for me. And also, my experience with non-roadster convertibles, there is a lot more wind in the cabin. It's so quiet and uneventful in the cabin with the top down on my car, that I get more wind noise from an open sunroof on other cars (or at least it seems to be). But also, the appeal of an awesome sounding engine w/ the top down is just really "orgasmic", and that adds to the appeal of the sports car. Shame that the DB9 without it's top isn't up to par to where I believe it should be.

lol @ Clarkson. I hope he paid to get that car out of the pool.

IMO, as long as it's still possible to d/l Top Gear, it shouldn't matter if the speeds are super crappy whatsoever.
