But Cynthia, you still might just want to wait to see if someone may have (hypothetically) downloaded them all overnight last night and might burn a DVD and give it to you tomorrow. Just in case that could happen…

Cynthia. The problem you are having with Bit torrent is you are downloading shows that are not in wide circulation any longer. The shows that aired in a 4 week time frame are normally very fast to download. I had this same problem. Itunes, for $1.99 an episode, the dowload completes in 15 minutes or so is awesome. And was a welcomed solution to LOST addiction. I recommend it.

Yeah, I typed mine and then got distracted doing something else before I submitted it, then went back to the page and posted it, and then I saw yours. So I adjusted the time on mine to make mine not look dumb.

Even I have to admit that the iTunes thing is a pretty decent option for people in this situation, as long as they’re willing to only watch them using Apple products.

That’s funny that we commented at the same time about itunes and shows.

The things that you won’t use because you won’t bother doing?

I don’t think that’s a contradiction anywhere. I’m not sure what you’re trying to imply about the MythTV thing, unless you’re just commenting on my delay in getting around to setting it up. I think you’re just jealous of the freedom it will bring to my “DVRing” that things like Tivo will never have….
Cynthia: While I hesitate to recommend anyone using iTunes, I’ve heard that you can buy the episodes on there for like two bucks, which may be the way to go for simplicity and consistency. Otherwise, you could just hope that someone you bump into this weekend may happen to have a DVD with the episodes on it and give it to you. You never know.

You could just buy them on the iTunes MS. That’s what JasB did.

Or should I say in your case a myth’ical box.

Are you not contradicting yourself by saying you rather “not bother” but it’s “not important”?

I don’t care.

Good luck with your myth box.
