And I'm sorry, but I have to disagree with the eMule and such comments above. eMule is a POS and always downloads at like 15KB/sec for me. Torrents on the other hand are much, much faster (I know many people who easily get a couple megabytes a sec on torrents). So perhaps you should know what you're talking about before you say "OMGZ TORRENTS SUCK!!!!111". I mean, there's a reason that BitTorrent alone makes up a significant chunk of the Internet bandwidth usage. They only offer “best of” DVDs, not whole episodes.
