Well that sucks. Is it the same for all the networks? They have lost episodes on line on the abc.com.

didn't see it was the myspace. should check that out. but on the fox site i can't view because it's USA only

i just managed to download prison break and one lost episode. seems like that change in options helped a bit, also turned the upload to 10 kbps. now i upload like 100 mb per episode of 350. it's much for my limit but it's acceptable i guess. i'm trying the other losts now but they're going slow. i'll see what happens

thanks for the help all

On Most torrent sites, such as Pirate Bay, Your Download speed depends on your upload speed. If You speedlimit your uploads, there's a great chance you'll get quite shitty download speed in return. As I see that you have done so, that's probably your problem. Downloading Warezed software and copyrighted programs is illegal, therfore those trackers work the way that they do, that everyone is in it on the same conditions and those who choose not to should get a lower download speed.
