Lost - how to get the second series?

[RichardM]

Now that the first series of Lost is at an end, can anyone tell me how I can watch the second series which Scott keeps talking about? I haven't read through his thread as I don't want to spoil it for myself!

I can't wait till June for channel 4 to show it!

How fast is your internet connection?

 

[RichardM]

2Mb NTL so should be quick enough.

 

[smartbrabus]

If you haven't already done so, download a torrent client such as Bitcomet or Azureus. You will find the episode torrents on various torrent sites. The episodes are generally ~350Mb each, and so far there are have only been 9 or 10 in season 2, so it shouldn't take you too long to catch up!

Enjoy...

Thanks mate. I've installed Azureus, but what do I do now?

Amazon are releasing it Jan 16th (Monday)

That's just the second half of series one (tonights episodes from C4), not series two.

 

[Mozzer]

Oops, sorry, so there are 24 episodes per season and the box set I have is the first half is that right ???

 

[smartbrabus]

Ok, this should get you started...

The file in this link should open in Azureus, and you should see the 1st episode start to download.

 

[RichardM]

Thanks again mate, downloading now.

download a torrent client such as Bitcomet or Azureus.

is there any difference between these clients, in as much as are there different torrents available or other features

I currently use bitcomet

 

[RichardM]

Azureus is Java based and seems quite resource heavy, but I think they do the same thing.

C4 said last night that they will show season 2 in the "Spring" ... i.e. soon.

If anyone wants any help on DLing Lost - just ask.

My luck with FTP is never much chop, but I can help with Torrents. ;-)

Let us know what the quality is like when you get it please , i presume it will be a copy

 

[SEM]

Quality is excellent, taken from HDTV broadcast, this ebay rip should be the same, they all come from the same people

 

[Alps]

i can confirm you cannot fit HD TV quality of all those episodes on 2 DVD`s!!

i have them all in avi format, and after conversion you can fit a max of 3 episodes per DVD.

Quite honestly my expectations are not huge, just as long as the picture is reasonable.

I just could not face watching another Channel 4 episode (albeit in the Spring) as the Commercial Breaks are getting on my t**ts and I have been on the verge of phoning to complain - its intolerable !!! Aaaahhh - i'm turning into Victor Meldrew

I'll let you know how I get on and resist the temptation to tell you what happens and what its like to watch without ads.

Yup, seems like a break every 5 mins!!
