Just caught this.

I know a lot of you really like Top Gear, and it's hosts (as do I), so I was quite bummed to read about this. Richard is really funny guy, and I hope he pulls thrugh this okay. With his sense of humor, I wouldn't be surprised if the crash footage ultimately makes the show with him narrating the whole thing.

Top Gear was on Discovery Channel for a while. Mostly I download episodes off the net.

I've been trying to figure out how to get ahold of BBC broadcasts of the show ever since #$%^ Discovery Channel nixed it.

Yeah, if anyone has a source for the show for us poor deprived yanks, we'd be ever so greatful.

Apparently it's THE most pirated TV show in the world... More than survivor, more than lost, more than desperate housewives...

I had only post few times...anyway here is the link you can download TopGear from:

(1)Fist you need bit torrent software:

http://www.bitcomet.com (it is currently down at the mean time)

try http://www.download.com and search for "bitcomet"

(2) Following is a torrent file search engine site. Just type in "top gear" in the search bar:

http://www.mininova.org

I'm a super topgear fan...currently I have year 90~93, 2002~2006. Took me a long time to download them, but worth it!

Hope this helps

Yeah bit torrent worked for me.

After the time off, "the hampsters" teeth will be whiter than ever!

If you know the show you will know what I mean.

If you don't know the show, you will think I am a heartless bastard.

Downloading the show with bittorrents does take a while but they are worth it. I loved the one about the 1500 pound Porsches or the 10K pound mid engined Italian supercars. Why don't we have a show like this in the States?

You can download the shows at this link if you have a bitTorrent program. http://www.finalgear.com/shows/topgear/

They are large!

I'm on a steep learning curve here, but is there a bit torrent program available for Mac OSX?

I'd love to start getting Top Gear again. The only car show that my wife and I could enjoy together, equally! She liked it as much as I did.

Sorry to see the "hamster" banged up like that. At the hospital, I heard Jeremy Clarkson made an insulting remark about his driving skills and he returned a smile.
