You need to use newsgroups. i have 50meg cable and it downloads at a constant 6MB/s

Yeah, seems silly tbh. Do you really sit in front of the TV that much? Screw paying for newsgroups too, I'll just leave them over night.

^^ Same. I find the DVD rips around 1.3gb in size are pretty much perfect on my 40" TV. Always see the 4gb Bluray versions but never bother with them.

i download 720p for most, 1080p if it's special effects galore.
Did download the 700mb avi's but never get round to watching them anyway so might aswell enjoy it when i do

I'm streaming to PS3 so struggle with some of the rips now, thanks to Cinavia 
Had 2 copies of The Social Network downloaded in 720p and both had problems with it, had to dl a 700mb copy in the end.
The "solution" I found on youtube was some guy watching things at 1.5x speed 
Someone will break Cinavia soon enough i'd imagine though

It'll be non-comoressed BD rips, basically the complete BD disc. I agree though, seems a bit silly unless you're planning to burn them to BD discs.
I agree with Vrs in that usenet is the way to go. Granted it costs but it's a shed load 'safer' than torrents. And if you do torrent, then i'd run Peerblock as well.
