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...

try 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:

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.

BitTorrent is most definately available for the mac. You can get it from bittorrent.com.
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.
QUOTE
Clarkson, speaking at length for the first time since Hammond crashed a jet-propelled dragster at 300mph while filming for the car programme, wrote in his Sun column: "In the wee small hours of Thursday night ... Richard Hammond suddenly sat up in bed, opened his eyes and asked what had happened.
"'You've been in a car accident,' I said. 'Was I driving like a twat?' he asked, before getting out of bed and walking shakily to the lavatory."
"'You've been in a car accident,' I said. 'Was I driving like a twat?' he asked, before getting out of bed and walking shakily to the lavatory."
That's seriously funny - and really good news. Sounds like he'll be allright after some TLC.
THANKS for the Top Gear downloading help. 
glad to hear Hammond is doing better.
