Although, you won't find these episodes on DirectTV until next year. Only way to view them is from finalgear.com (most convenient method to acquire them). You will need a torrent client like uTorrent. |

I'm new to all this torrent stuff. I'm using Transmission for Mac and the download of an episode says it's going to take 2 hours. Am I doing something wrong? Thanks in advance.

A lot of things determine your download speed. One of the main things is the upload speed of your connection and the setting within the torrent client you are using. For example, if you restrict the upload speed (because you still want to be able to use your connection while the download is occuring) the download speed will also be restricted.
Torrents work by uploading (or making available for upload) the data that you download even before you are finished downloading the entire file. Therefore, another reason for a slow download would be limited uploaders available. Newer files will oftentimes be faster to download, because many people are "sharing" them over the wire. Hope this helps. Two hours is not uncommon. That is also an educated guess, as it depends on how many people are sharing the file at that moment. Midway through the download, more people could join in and the download will speed up considerably. This also works in reverse. |

Thanks, it makes more sense now. I'll try playing with the speed settings.

it is better to get the torrent as soon as they have it up, meaning more people will be on downloading and sharing the file.
It took me about 25 minutes to get top gear episode 3 (on sunday night).

Thanks for all the advice guys... I finally downloaded Episode 1. Needed to get DivX player so I could watch it. Definitely beats watching it on youtube.

Did anyone else feel vindicated by the Veyron being slower than the Koenigsegg, the Zonda, the Ascari, and the Gumpert? Makes the point that all the technology in the world can't overcome the difference that weight makes.
