Since I'm in England I can only watch the BB Episodes on the CBS website on the Innertube service. However, every time I try to play one of the episodes, it won't play. Can you help me please (I use Windows Media Player, if that helps you.)

It won't work for me as well.

I download episodes using bittorent. I use uTorrent as my client and find torrents from mininova.org. I also sometimes dl eps from mIRC.

Uhm get uTorrent and install it:
http://www.utorrent.com/

Find the BB7 US episodes here
http://www.mininova.org/sub/173/added

and download the torrent. You can also regularly check this thread at Survivor Sucks. Stewie regularly posts the episode torrents when they are available. Make sure you don't download the Live Feeds torrents if you dont want to!

http://p085.ezboard.com/fsurvivorsucksfrm13.showMessage?topicID=9555.top ic

Just try to find the torrents in that thread.

Once you downloaded it, run uTorrent, click Add Torrent (or something) then find the BB torrent you're going to dl. Then click it and it should start dling. Mine usually takes about 2 1/2 hours for an episode, but my connection is less than 1 Mbps, so if you have a fast Internet connection then it should take you less time.

Dling from mIRC is much more complicated. Try using torrents first. lol Wink

If it's any reassurance, I figured out torrents by myself, so it can't be too hard.. LOL.

Thanks for your time, but at the moment it's taking ages on a download, it says it will finish downloading in a few weeks. Do you know how to make it go faster, like putting it on DVD or installing something else etc.

What's your Internet speed? If you're using dial-up, then I'm sorry, there's not much I can do. Maybe you can find UK people who are fans of USBB then ask them to give you a hard copy (by meeting up with them, etc).

You can also just read recaps from CBS and RNO like what I did during season 6.

OK, I finally managed to download an episode but it won't play. It says 100.0% downloaded, but it says it is seeding (it seems to do nothing) and where it says the number of Megabites uploaded it says 229MB, not the whole 264MB.

Can you help me play it please?

You should find the folder where you downloaded the file to. If you don't know, then maybe search your computer for the file.

Seeding means it's sharing the file to other people. You can let it stay there or you can right click it and select Remove and > Delete torrent. It will stop seeding, but the file you dled will still be in your computer.

OK, it says on the Windows Media Player file when I open it that there was an error downloading the codec, so I can only hear like radio. Strange, huh?

Ignore the last post, I just found a great website to download BB:A-S video. The site is www.veoh.com and it lets you download video for free AND it is MUCH faster than any torrents.
