    No more Top Gear on demand.

    "Due to a request from the BBC, the website will be taken down. I had been told in the past through unofficial channels that as long as I didn't offer direct downloads, they would leave me alone, but that is apparently no longer the case.

    It has been a wild ride, and you never know, if I find a less cooperative host in the future, I may start the site back up, but in the meantime, if I find another site like this, I will post up a link here, so keep checking back."

    Aww... I was streaming and then saving episodes off there. Final Gear is nice, but I liked Hessmo's 200MB encodes better than 700+ for FG. Sure you can see a bit of MPEG compression when playing in full screen, but I'm not made of disk space.

    I prefer downloading it, though I did watch the older seasons on hessmo, only for the fact that the quality was about the same anyway.

    There is a nasty bit of malware that attacks you when you go to that site. My software caught it but it resulted in my anti malware software locking my computer up and forcing a hard reset. So click with caution!!!!

    Hurray....I just saw that this morning. I'm waiting eagerly for wednesday:

    hessmo says: Update Waiting for the server, if I had to hazard a guess, I would say the site will be back up wednesday at the latest.

    As of right now (10 pm central time) I have about 20 gigs of video to still transfer, I am going to let it go through the night, and I should be able to get the site up in the morning. Are you ready? I even have the new videos encoded and up there already.

    WOOT!!!

    I love where he tells the BBC to leave him the hell alone. It's also funny where he says to affirm you are not law enforcement.

    hey can someone DL these latest episodes for me and mail them to me, internet is kind of spotty here if you could put it on an SD and I'll send you one back. Tom should have my address by now, I hope.

    Sorry for the hijack, but can anyone recommend a place to watch Lost online other than abc? I've seen everything except season 5 and want to start there. I was using freetvproject or something like that, but it seems like all of the season 5 episodes have bad links. As of 2 nights ago, anyway.

    Thnx, Will
