I freaking LOVE utorrent.
I've been back in Thailand close to a year now...and torrents have made it so easy. I don't miss a thing from home. All the rugby league and stuff I want.
Also been downloading tonnes of shows lately. All of The Shield (great show), 24 etc.
If you leave it on overnight and have a very fast connection, you should download the biggest files. I.e. try and download the HIGH DEFINITION version of shows. They look and sound amazing.

Absolutely true.
Search Isohunt...the pirate bay...demonoid...before D/L anything and pick the largest seed.
I dound an ep of 24 last night that had 38 seeders. Fast enough. Then I found the same ep with 598 seeders and it absolutely flew.
If you download shows from America a day or two after they're shown...it's not uncommon to see 5000+ seeders. It flies then.
