Title: Lost !! Final 2 episodes tonight
Post by: Colchester Kev on January 11, 2006, 06:33:38 PM
I will be unavailable for my usual standard of railbirding tonight , Ch4 are showing back to back the last 2 episodes of series one of LOST starting at 10pm .... The PC will be on, but my concentration may be elsewhere :)    Although if anyone has WonderMUG on their table, i will be there like a shot ;)

you expect it to end? I expect they drag it out until people get bored and then they'll cancel it al la twin peaks/dark angel

I get them from BiteNova... Unfortunately, 24, Scrubs and Battlestar Galactica are all restarting too, my computer will be heaving by the end of the week.

can't wait for these lost finale  episodes. Been waiting two weeks for my lost hit...

Course I could have downloaded them all, but its better to wait right, instead of watching them on a grainy computer screen?

I tried to download some of Lost before using bit-torrent ( if thats what its called), but it didn't work. How do you do it?....I must just be stupid. Technology and all that.  Thanks. Sark79..

If you download a programme manager called Bitcomet from there .com site (its free)
it puts all the right files in there for you
it also has a lot of torrent sites that you can download anything included in the programme
hope this helps

Download Azureus from here, it's the best bittorrent client.

IF you don't mind your PC grinding to a standstill, I personally use ABC.

I have to agree, it eats up my resources, ABC on the other hand is pretty good at running unnoticed.


Kev, what about if i run into AbiTheCod?

Is it legal to use these things?...


Title: Re: Lost !! Final 2 episodes tonight
Post by: Trace on January 11, 2006, 09:18:46 PM
No comment on legality, it'll start another row.

Azureus needs java too, and it went boobies up on me recently.

I switched to bitcomet and find it a lot easier to use, seems to download faster than Azureus ever did too.

So did i TraceT 
The way i see it is the easier the better
and the only problem i have found is when i've put too much on to download i have to pause everything for a while so i can come
on here to make it faster  8)

bit torrents are legal sharing copyright films/programs/music/books/files isnt

some software firms use bit torrent for getting out updates without killing there servers

i love azureus and it doesnt kill my machine it can kill your bandwidth if you dont set it up proberly

I got sidetracked from my weekly Lost hit over Christmas so downloaded the rest of series 1, and have just watched the last 5 in one sitting tonight.

Can anyone PM me the details of any good torrent sites they know of. The new series of 24 starts in the US this weekend with two double episodes and I want to get stuck into that next week.

Post by: Highstack on January 12, 2006, 10:01:38 AM
So disappointed! :(

I said right from the start when I knew that I was gripped, this would be really surreal and that it would end with no answers and yet managed to convince myself over the past few months that this wouldn't be the case. I avoided this thread last night on purpose, in case one of you gave something away. Series 2 - the spring! Grrrrrrrrr. No point me downloading either, my sound card is fekked and I am too lazy to sort it out.


Title: Re: Lost !! Final 2 episodes tonight
Post by: Royal Flush on January 12, 2006, 01:07:08 PM
Just watched episode 10 of season 2.

OMG!!!

Post by: EvilSteve on January 12, 2006, 01:21:23 PM
From the short clip C4 showed of Series 2 yesterday it looks great, I'm getting episodes 1-9 on DVD tomorro which is good, can't wait till they show them on the TV.

Post by: Phil on January 12, 2006, 01:38:03 PM
Just watched episode 10 of season 2.

Without giving too much away does it follow on straight away from last episodes cliffhanger? I promised my flatmates I wouldn't watch it until tonight... despite having it here now!

The whole 'walt' issuse, not so much, but it goes down a whole new branch. And we revist and old one.....

If you have ABC all you need to do is go to a torrent site like, mininova.org and search for the torrent you want, download the torrent and off you go!

PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE dont post any spoilers .... those of us who are waiting until the spring for our next fix dont want to know what happens.

whats a decent download speed for this on broadband?   Currently runnning at a mighty 4.5kb/s ... will be on Ch4 before its finished at this rate?


Title: Re: Lost !! Final 2 episodes tonight
Post by: lvlarc_uk on January 12, 2006, 03:13:23 PM
4.5KB/s is  poor for Broadband. I get 600KB/s on 3Mb broadband NTL, think they updated speeds to 5Mb for everyone tho.


I think 1Mb broadband should get you about 80 - 120 KB/s
What site you downloading it from?


I know there are llooaaddss of torrent sites these days, but too many people on them downloading, and not uploading, so speed sucks.


Here's a site you can download movies, tv etc. It's a private tracker so safe from the MPAA and goddamn Feds ;)

Just watched it. Thought it was pretty good.

I guess that's the 'boy' they were after. Although I guessed that a while back.  ;topofclass;

Can't wait for the next series. They've lead us in well now.

Do you really want answers? You'll only be disappointed. Nothing could live up to the expectation. Sometimes your imagination is the best tool.

so who can recommend a good utlity for converting avi files to mpeg format so I can burn then to dvd.

Cant seem to find any good "free" ones, which do the whole file.


Title: Re: Lost !! Final 2 episodes tonight
Post by: Trace on January 13, 2006, 11:38:48 AM
winavi should do it for you

I watch them on the PC then delete them

Nero will burn avi's straight onto DVD for you too
