Found this on Whore-tex, though I\'m sure this is ld to many of you.
Downloading via Bittorrent:
First, you will obviously need a bittorrent client, a program to download the Top Gear videos. What you use is your choice, but common programs include Azureus, BitLord and BitComet. Since I use Bitlord, guess what this mini-tutorial will cover? You guessed it. You can grab the program here (http://bitlord.com/download.php).

Once it is installed, you\'re set. Next up is the torrent file. This is a tiny file that Bitlord (or any program) uses to connect to peers and seeds to download what you want. Generally the links to download Top Gear are provided here. If they\'re not, you can grab them at finalgear.com (http://www.finalgear.com/).

Click the download link. You can either choose \"save to disk\" or \"open with...\" and choose Bitlord as the default. Both wind up with the same final result, so for the sake of this tutorial I will choose save.

Open up Bitlord, and click the open button. Navigate to the file that you downloaded and choose open. This should hopefully just be common sense. But you never know.

The \"Task Properties\" menu should be open. Clicking \"Browse\" you can choose where to save the file. Pick a folder or something.

Click \"OK\" and let\'er rip. In a few hours a hot steamy episode of Top Gear will be delivered right to your computer! When the file is done downloading, it keeps using your bandwidth. Why? Because even once you\'re done downloading, it keeps uploading. People that have the file and upload are called seeds. People who are downloading are called peers or leeches. Don\'t be a leech, and keep the file uploading for as long as you can. Hey, you\'re going to be watching TG for the next hour, right? Let it upload. Keep it uploading overnight.

When you\'re sick of that, right click on the uploading file, and choose \"remove>remove task only\". If you choose the other one it will delete Top Gear too.
Happy downloading!
Note to the mods: Hopefully I didn\'t break any forum rules by posting this, but bittorrent isn\'t *technically* illegal, etc etc.
