Download this: http://www.bittornado.com/

Then go to thebox and find what you want to download. When you click on the link it will start downloading and save to your PC, then you can either watch it on your PC or transfer it to disc and watch on your DVD (providing you save it to a format that is supported).

Don't ask me about keeping your Ratio right though, as that goes way over my head :D

UKNOVA only lets a certain amount of users be registered at any one time. Once you haven't logged on for x amount of days it cancels your registration and lets someone else join.

I found late in the evening or very early in the morn the best time to register, but its luck of the draw really.

Hi!
I joined this site and have successfully downloaded this weeks "Wanted Downunder" so far. Unfortunately it would take about 4 hours to watch one episode as it keeps stopping and starting :unsure: Anyone any idea on how to resolve this problem?

Thanks, Lynn xx

Especialy as we live in Winchester the number one location to live in the whole of the UK....:blink:

Must be because there was only 6 murders within a 3 mile radius that made it top the list.

What was interesting in todays show was the fact that the exact same crimes are just as comon in OZ as they are in UK...Drunkeness, drugs, assualt, Domestic violence, weekends more so as the cop said. Just as I was told about the big cities in Canada suffer the same. Its a shame really.

You're going to get crime whereever there are people I guess. I've found that keeping myself to myself has helped me avoid most of the crime in my area, so just plan to continue. I suppose that at least you'll have the beach to rest your broken jaw on! And hopefully the tan will help hide the black eyes. . .

"there's nothing wrong with our lives in the UK"

Maybe it was just for the free holiday???

Think a lot of them only go for the free holiday. Some just don't seem to have really though the decision through properly:curse:

Have you really downloaded the videos or are you actually watching it online? I couldn't find any way of downloading it but I watched it online without any problems (home and work).

If you are watching it online then the problem is likely your internet connection. Does other high bandwidth internet stuff have this problem? Try an online broadband speed test (search google). Poor results? OK, a few ideas would be:
Upgrade your broadband
Change ISPs
Get your landline tested and possibly replaced if ADSL
Move closer to your exchange (again if ADSL). But perhaps selling your house to watch a TV programme might be a bit much :D

If this isn't the cause, its possible you have an under-specified PC or your PC is running lots of other things. I've had this problem but its less likely that the internet being the cause I reckon.

Hope that helps.
