Hey, Having just moved into the USA from UK I know how frustrating it is that we have to wait a couple of months for Europe to catch up with the new series and episodes, and I know many people want to get them as soon as possible. The way I have done it in the past and have got hold of season12 episodes is using torrents and downloading the episodes of the web. Basically you can download software either Utorrent or Azereus that is peer2peer file sharing software. The idea is that everyone uploads their own files and everyone shares in a nice big happy family.... , works the same way as kazaa for music... Once you have utorrent installed you can search for ER and it will show any available torrents (files) that you can then download for free. The only bit I can't remember is if I paid a membership fee when I first joined, if I did it was only about $20 for lifelong membership.. Only prob is that its a bit on the dodgy side and might be classed as illegal... there are ways of getting around that as well, try installing something called peerguardian it stops your IP address been tracked!! I think for ER you should see episodes online quite soon after they have aired... for example I get the new series of Silent Witness from the UK online in about an hour after the show has finished... Its well worth it as I know have all of Season5, 6, 8, 9 and 11 downloaded on my hardrive so I can view whenever I want to... I also have most of season 12.. missing episodes 1,2,3,5,6,8,13...which I can't seem to find anywhere... If anyone can help.... much appreciate it... Hope that helps.... If anyone wants I can make the episodes I have available on my ftp site - let me know

I find the best way to DL the eps is by using BitLord and getting them from mininova.org it is super fast and the eps are always up within an hour of airing.

I don't suppose you could explain how to do it in simple terms, I have had a look at torrents but I don't really understand how to get them onto my computer or anything like that

I use BitComet and well, when I used to download Charmed it was up, normally, a day or two later. I don't mind waiting a few days for the Torrent. And it normally takes me a few hours to download the episode.

Sure I can!!! - Firstly you want to download a program called BitLord, I find it the easiest to use - very simple! It is a FREE download you can get it from www.bitlord.com- Secondly you'll need to find a good torrent website, I use www.mininova.org they are very up-to-date and I very rarely have any problems with their torrents. - Once you find a torrent on their site you want, you can search by name but I find the categories to be easier when it comes to TV shows, just click on the name of the episode you want, a new page will open up with a .torrent file for example if you are downloading an ep called ERS0213 it will be ERS0213.torrent you will click on that link and then hit OPEN - This is when Bitlord will automatically open up and you can choose what files to download, never touch anything, just hit OK and you're off and downloading, when the download is complete it will reach 100% you can find the file in the bitlord folder on your PC, just double click on it and it will play. Some notes - - If you have problems playing the episodes, you may need a codec, to find out what codec's you need get a very small program called G-spot (i'm not making this up!) it is FREE. If that isn't the issue, you may need to play it using VLC media player, you can get it FREE from www.vcdhelp.com in the tools section. - Your download will go quicker if you choose a torrent file with more seeds than leechers, also you should let others seed from you for a while before deleting the file from your PC - it is the nice thing to do.
