    Downloads should not be an issue. M/A is hosted at a location that is massively multi-homed with all the Tier 1 carriers. Located at a major internet crossroads near Kansas City, Missouri the host has fiber entry points from AT&T, TimeWarner, Qwest, Sprint, Telecove, Unite, Level3, Cogent and Global Crossing. Our dedicated server is also multi-homed with 2 Gigabit Ethernet capable NICs. It's overkill that we are growing into.

    Just as an example, it only takes me about 6-8 min to upload the files from my desktop PC to the server. File size is about 540 MB.

    Grrrr

    corrupt download! Gotta do it again. But I gotta say, all the cuts to the boxer and stuff like that in the first Bently part pretty much blow.

    I liked Capt. Slow driving on a volcano. That was cool. The Robin piece had me rolling, for real. The rest was just a bit slow IMO.

    Windows Media Player encountered a problem while playing the file.

    All I keep getting after downloaded.

    That's because

    it's a DivX, not an AVI, and the WMP pukes. I had that problem and got a DIVX codec, and then it played. Google around and you'll find your answers...

    Rick, just download the VLC player. No need to hunt for codecs, much better then the Media Player.

    Watched the whole thing...

    and it reminded me that Jeremy Clarkson is a bit of a diick. But the volcano was cool, and the sensibly priced car part was a waste of airtime...

    But at least another season is starting, and that's good.... I hope the rest of the episodes are better than this one.

    +1 across the board. Would have been cool if the real Angelina had showed up at the end of the reasonably priced car track day...

    I'm so used to watching old episodes, it was weird to hear them making references to current events! LOL

    I also had a weirdly truncated download the first time (~25MB), but I may have spaced out and walked away from the laptop and let it fall asleep...2nd d/l worked fine though. Thanks a lot!

    It was a good season opener.

    I always like crowd spotting the audience.

    I'm sure you all noticed this girl at the end.:arf:
