Default top rating TV shows yet unable to download... why?

Hiya,

I'm a little confused (and a bit frustrated too): Why is it that it is SO difficult finding episodes of certain (top rating) TV shows which are currently showing in the US and/or downloading them once found (due to insufficient sources)?

What's weird is, every other upload is of one of the 5 episodes that I have managed to download (after several grueling weeks of search) thus far. Ha! Looks like quite a few people are looking for the same show!

The frustrating bit is that I am looking for the new episodes, not the old ones (which I already bought on DVD) which I could understand as being more difficult to find... Hmmmm...

Sorry. I guess I just needed to vent a bit.

Thanks for your time and any tips you might have...?

Hi kikii24,
There are tips for video downloads in here, the principles can apply to any video, not just music as said in the thread:

When you search, try the 'All Types' as well as 'Video' categories. All Types can often give better results

You can use Bitzi to make sure you're downloading a good file:

Vary the times of day that you search. Don't forget that people in different time zones will be logging on at all different times of day

Thanks guys.

Very valid points. I guess I just need to keep trying (and learn to be (even) more patient)!

In the meantime, if anybody has my shows, let at 'em! LOL
