I watched that a couple days ago, those two hands were great, especially the stare downs after being owned both times. Pretty good coverage overall.

I'm new to BitTorrent, but decided to watch this. I downloaded BitTorrent at BitTorrent.com. Now I'm downloading the EPT file. It's slooow. I gather you can increase the download speed by increasing the upload speed on the BitTorrent slider. I jacked it up to 91 KB/s upload. Still, it's downloading at about 40 KB/s, and shows about 7 hours to go. Is that the speed I can expect?

Is TorrentSpy the best site to find poker on TV? Are there any web sites that categorize/link to/or review poker BitTorrents?

When I finish downloading it, what do I watch it on? Or does that vary from file to file?

Itīs slow in the beginning, but it usually gets faster. It didnīt take very long for me to download it.

I couldnīt get the .rmvb files to play with the media players I had installed, I had to get Real Alternative (http://home.hccnet.nl/h.edskes/mirror.htm) to play them.

Edit - I have found TorrentSpy to be the best source of poker torrents.

RealPlayer played it fine for me.

The download speed did increase over time. I didn't time it, but it was several hours to download it.

Quality isn't as good as TV, but is good enough.

As for the quality of the production, I think it's adequate. I'd prefer more onscreen info, like bet and pot size.
