Babylon 5

[alreadypacked]

Don't talk to me about bit torrents. After being flush with success at downloading a couple of films the other day, it's back to it's usual tricks of downloading either porn or 90% of a film before running out of seeds.

Which site do you use?

Which site do you use?

I've tried a few sites recently, as in the past. The best seems to be the one I think you cited last week, ka Torrent Downloads Bittorrent download source! (what's the "ka" mean?).

I have downloaded "Moon" and something else successfully recently, but when I tried Avatar, most of the downloads were porn (Betty shakes her boobs or something, which was absolute filth). Eventually I found an Avatar download that wasn't porn, but it's been stuck on 55% downloaded for some days now. Ditto for District 9 (stuck on 90%) and Stargate Universe (0%).

Just had boxset with complete B5 delivered

The B5 saga is just brilliant. I would take a guess it is one of the first of these genre of weekly episodes that builds to a final ending (Lost, Prison Break etc) rather than a whole series of pretty unconnected story lines (Star Trek)... B5 was ok watching if you haven't been following but pretty empty unless you are aware of the relationships etc...

There is actually a lore that grows to a bloody brilliant set of twists in the last few episodes.

Good purchase that!

I've had the DVDs for years. The kids have started watching it now. Harlen Ellison was a creative consultant for it, so it tended more to proper sci-fi than the cowboys and indians in space that Star Trek was.

I thought Crusade was even better than B5. More interesting characters, with bad attitudes.

Blasphemy!


I got more blu ray boxsets in same order as well

[NotAllThere]

Ah, good. The thought of us agreeing on something I found rather disturbing.

I've just order Lost Tales.

KA = KickAss

I also use "isohunt".
I usually allow a couple of hours to download something, if it's not 100% I delete it and try somewhere else.

I look for TV shows that are currently on in the USA like Entourage, they download in about 10 mins. as there are so many seeds. If there are not more than 10 seeds I would not bother it may never download 100%.

For movies you should wait for about 1-2 months after release to get a good copy.

I recently got some links for file share sites, I will have a look see if they are any better than the torrent sites.

Got the boxset a few years ago and watched it multiple times. It is probably the best Sci-Fi series every created (imho).

1st series starts slowly and a couple of the main characters get replaced but it hits it's stride in series 2 and doesnt let up.

By the time you find out "What happened to Mr Garibaldi" you'll be as engrossed in the lore and history as the rest of us

PS Susan Ivanova Hmmmmmmmmm

[Platypus]

We have Star Trek TNG boxsets and plan to get DS9 next.

I'd recommend Voyager highly.

But I sold my DS9 boxset. Apart from a handful of brilliant episodes, much of it is .... not very good.
