I have to say some of those computer monitors look a little small by today's standards. Thank goodness we don't get close-ups of their mobile phones.
Anyway I watched the first few episodes of series one quite a few times when I was in china, quite liked it, but always wanted something more saccharin when it came to western programmes. Then attempted again last september, dug it, but kept being interrupted by my course. This last week I've had some time off for hols and have finally been getting in to it.
It's bloody great, isn't it?

I'm going over to the eastern: those still on season 1 and want to remain spoiler-free, best keep your sorry asses here on the westside.

Like a boss.
How are you downloading series 2 yet asking for a torrent of it?
He wants a torrent of s02e01... he's downloading a torrent of the complete season.

If you go to the "files" part of your torrentclient you can set ep1 as high priority so it downloads first. Unless you're downloading the DVD or, god forbid, a rar'drelease.
Yeah but the season would only take a couple of hours so hardly seems worth asking for it...

I dunno, it only took me a couple of days on my crappy chinese connection
Do you check all the settings on utorrent and stuff?

Depends on the torrent and the connection!

Utorrent?
as far as I can tell, all the settings are maximised with the software I have.
Yeah - true. But aren't most UK ISPs these days at least 8meg (which what mine is)? and it's easy to find a wire torrent on isohunt with loads and loads of seeders.

I think mine's 3 or 5. Time to upgrade I think.
Do you always look for the one with the most seeders? That's the crucial thing.

No! I just pick the one from the top of the list 
Deffo; the standard one with Be is 8. I pay 13.50 a month for that and generally the connection's v.good. Plus you only pay 8 quid a month for the first 6 months IIRC (I think I did)

Ah, could be why; if there aren't many seeders then it will take a lot longer
for instance, here's a search for the wire with most seeders specified
http://isohunt.com/torrents/the+wire+season?iht=-1&ihp=1&ihs1=2&iho1=d
Pick any of those seasons from the top and I guarantee it shouldn't take long to download a season even with a 3-5meg connection

my connection seems to be very variable - last night it was working very fast, but last week it was very sluggish - it took 2 days to download one episode of True Blood last week, but overnight for a 5gb comp of all Adam Curtis' documentaries at the weekend. I guess everyone was off doing Easter things.
