What are you waiting for?

hi,
this is my first time on this site. im from the uk and currently waiting for..
24 series 5 episode 5
prison break series 2 episode 14
heroes episode 12

any idea's when they may be available?

a couple of hours after they air in the us (generally east coast first airing -
occasionally an east coast capper has a problem and there's a delay until a
pacific aired source is available. it's fairly uncommon though)

in practice this means that primetime us shows generally start showing up
around 4 am uk time.

(i'm being kind here and assuming that you weren't simply asking if they air
tonight because you couldn't be fucked to look at one of the zillion channel
schedule listings sites on the web 😉

shows appear here after they air in the us.
the shows you mention air on mondays and will appear sometime tuesday (uk time)
- usually between 3am and 5am.

but, don't come asking for the shows. they will appear when they appear -
although eztv are very reliable and will begin distributing them as soon as they
can.

thanks for the info.
i just wasn't sure how many hours after the showing the torrent is available to
download.
im new to all this torrent stuff so thanks for the info.

it time to release can vary depending on a number of factors. sometimes a
release will come out super fast if a capper got a good cap/encode first go and
if it's a popular show. sometimes it can take a couple of hours especially of
there are a few shows on at the same time...

occasionally it can take quite a few hours, especially (as mentioned) if an east
coast cap is buggered for some reason and a cap from the west coast has to be used.

factor in borked caps/encodes that get propered from trying to get releases out
too quickly and it can be a bit of a crap shoot when releases actually come out.

hr.hd releases usually come out a number of hours after the standard 350mb
releases, if at all.

good luck getting your head around the torrent scene - it can be confusing at
first and frustating if you can't work out what's going on. eztv makes the whole
biz an awful lot easier being a virtual "one-stop shop" (even if the speeds of a
public tracker aren't that great sometimes) - the convenience makes it worth it.

it is starting to make sense and this website is very usefull.
thanks for taking the time to explain it to me.
hope everyone looks forward to watching their show.

after checking the listings i belive 24, prison break and heroes are all being
screened tonight so will get the torrents before i go work tomorrow.
