I dont want this to sound harsh, but when people stop downloading off torrent sites, and start watching there favourate shows on TV, the viewing figures will go up, And they will stop getting cancelled. [-X

They're all changing to "distribution trackers only", which is basically "We'll only have crappy Hidden Object Games for your entertainment, don't try to find the rest, because that is all gone."
All remaining torrent sites are utterly spammed with crap. So yeah.. sad day.

Not so! Terminator, Sarah conner cronicles, got cancelled due to the poor viewing figures... Have you seen the amount of people who downloaded that show?!!?! It got cancelled because some people dont like adverts! ](*,)

If you really Are that bothered, SurftheChanell should have every movie or tv you want.

If you cant beat them....

Not so :-k It is 110% their own fault.

If they didn't spend so much time winding us up with cliffhangers / teaser adverts.. well we might be content to wait the 13 months until it's shown in our region [-X

Mininova was where it all started for me....Now i use giganews and newzbins far better and a alot faster as it uses my max download speed (50meg)....But as Buck says if you want to watch a show the TV sites that buffer are not to bad and they are free :-D
Also Terminator got canned because it sucked...

Whoever caused cancellation of TSCC are a bunch of filtered. :)

As for end of mininova, I still find acceptable torrents on the net. I ONLY download when I missed/don't have said show on tv. Otherwise, I watch it. I also don't watch a movie on pc instead of theaters. That's silly.
That's just 'terrorism' against said shows and movies to never buy them or watch them on tv.
