I use torrents for all for my House and Desp H'wives etc.....and normally don't go for the 720p HD as they are over a gig...I go for the 350 meg epy, but regardless of speed.....my ISP wont let me download at anything faster than 600 k's per sec and I normally get that speed from torrents for all....
I use an online server for older and faster downloads.

I do download more than I watch, yes especially in the summer.....but store it all on my external hard drive....cos one day when I am old and in an old peoples home I will have something to watch....some people like to buy tonnes of DVD's and have a huge library of DVD's...I just like to download it all and keep decent shows, I normally catch up on some on the plane....will prolly catch up on some watching on our up coming road trip!!

My computer is networked to a WD Live Player which is hooked up to the TV.

We really enjoyed Garrow's Law a while back and also liked Coast for the first couple of seasons but it's getting a bit old now.
Didn't see either Mad Dogs or Thorne...of to do a search.

I'm sure mine aren't the only pair of eyes glazing over.
