i found this website that has totally changed how i watch TV. http://www.turok.info. after you install this small application (bittorrent), you just click on one of the links, and within a few seconds you should be downloading the show. and it's pretty efficient. you usually download 45-100+ kbytes/sec, and upload the partial file that you have downloaded to a bunch of other people until you complete the file. i have already downloaded a few shows, smallville, simpsons, csi, csi miami, naruto (japanese anime), and it has proven to be very quick and painless unlike some programs like winmx or any peer to peer program. downloading shows can take days with those napster or gnutella networks. since i primarily watch only one main show (smallville), and maybe some forensic science shows, i can do without cable with this new website.



oh yeah, one other thing, the smallville episode was put on the website a half day before it was even aired on TV. i'm not sure how it was done (maybe a intercepted satelite transmission), but i hope they keep coming early.
