Downloading stuff before it's aired in the UK

I did, seemed worth it and was a good decision, but when you're just starting out it all adds up. Even so it's a great site and I get 90% of my stuff from it.

Just got asked about multiple servers on the other forum, so thought I'd repeat my answer here. This relates to just using the one provider, if you already use 2 ignore it.

In most cases you just need one server, but I have heard some people say they need 2 because they get the odd file that is corrupt on their main one. You can only have 50 connections in total to their servers, so if you put 40 on the euro server then 10 on the us you should be fine. Just make sure you stick to the SSL ones.

I thought Season 5 was a litlle weak though.
Its a tough dilemma with regards to illegal downloads, both sides of the argument are valid.
I love buying DVD's though, for extras, commentary etc, can't beat them!

No probs, happy to help. If anyone wants it I'll detail how the RSS feeds work, many nzb sites have a bookmark facility that you can get SABNZB to read. You may need an account though, depends on the site. I only really use nzbmatrix and have my server monitor that. I'll also get around to reinstalling sickbeard / couch potato at some point and will post my findings.
