    Anyone here ever find a good place to download TV shows? I don't mean free even (though I wouldnt say no :D) but Im looking to sign up for something like that because Im not allowed to have cable in my flat (dont ask) In particular I wanna be sure I can download all the BSG and stargate I can sink my teeth into.


    LoLth: LEGAL sources of episodes only please. anything else will be crushed underfoot like your hopes and dreams. thank you.

    i don't see where u can pa for the legal right to own the show there in fact that site links to torrentspy and to mininova i was looking for something other than i tunes (i don't use .mov format) so if anyone knows a site where u can legally pay for the rights to download new episodes with guaranteed speeds of 600kb/sec+ plse post a link.

    woah.. guarenteed 600K+ link.. nice one!! I am lucky to get 60k connection

    The only place where i heard you can buy the episodes is from itunes (i think it was mentioned on this forum already that, it is the second most downloaded show from itunes..). Other than that, maybe try the scifi channel homepage, or the parent company..

    Report noted, however, the OP is specifically looking for LEGAL sources of episodes so I dont really see a problem with it. However, anyone posting links to illegal sources will be immediately banned with no appeal except to take it up with the admins.

    well actually i have been planning on asking a question.

    Say you season 1-5 of scrubs on DVD and then when season 6 airs are u allowed to download it if it isent for sale on dvd and u already own the previous seasons on dvd as proof u have every intention to buy it.

    Also i downloaded my favurate episode of X-files Season 4, Episode 7: Musing Of A Ciggerate Smoking Man. But i own that episode on DVD i bought the x-files dvd collection mag (the thing that comes out every 2 weeks with 4 episodes on dvd on it) so since i paid to own it i am allowed to download it.

    Its like knights of the old republic my cd got damaged so i am allowed to download it since i already paid for it.

    This is all right isent it? you are allowed legally to download things if you have paid for them right?

    Doubt it very much.. They way the MPAA sees it, anything without a paid for hard copy dvd/cd aside from stuff download legally, is a big no no and very bad. So if yer music cd etc, gets trashed, then the good guys over at the MPAA/RIAA, expect you, to buy another one!!
    Anyways as LoLth and Cabaal have stated, lets refrain from talking about where very very bad people get their weekly episodes from, and stick to the merits of the show..

    Hmm, you know some very interesting ppl on the other side of the big pond user45701 it seems..
