Another justification on my (near) boycott of purchasing DVD's. I'll pickup Scrubs Season 1 on Tuesday but other than that the only DVD I've purchased in the last several months is Trainspotting.

I will only buy shows from the "good days" of the MPAA, when they weren't such blatant dicks. For example, Magnum P.I. C'mon, who doesn't think Tom Selleck is cool?

Just wait for the torrents to be released to other sites. It's how I've gotten what I've gotten.
anyone else notice the site doesnt exist anymore? doesnt even go to Godaddy.com! wonder if this means they are getting the site back together, or if they are completely gone now...
The irc channel is now muted, last time I checked the only torrenst they were offfering were for enterprise, doctor who, and the oc. Plenty of other torrent sites where you can get your TV shows out there. On that note where the hell is the shield 4x09! Grrrrr
another question.... on the btefnet site, there was a link for the TV Shows calender, does anyone have that link?

I just use TVTome.com. When it's not down, that is.
P.S. Shield 4x09 doesn't air until tonight. FX preempted it in favor of a repeat of Independence Day last week, I assume to shift focus on House for some kind of ratings boost. (Remeber kids, Fox owns FX)

Okay, once again with the mantra:
The Pirate Bay
TorrentSpy
Demonoid
Mininova
dug777, would you mind editing "the mantra" into your original post?

Cocksuckers - I'll kill them. Can't believe they're making us wait three freaking weeks.

If the stupid broadcast companies would make their own shows available for download (with the commercials intact), I'm sure people would be happy to download them right from the source. Even if there was a very small fee I bet tons of people would use it. But of course they are too shortsighted to do this which is why sites like btefnet were so popular.
Someday big business will figure out how to use the Internet to their own best interest instead of only trying to stop other people from doing what they should have done in the first place.

Not if they did it right. Most people that use Tivo and download Torrents aren't the ones out buying the DVD sets anyway. The DVDs have all kinds of extra features, no commercials, bonus things, etc.
THey could have the show available just as it was on TV. Keep in commercials, make their own BT client you have to use, sell advertising that pops up while you're downloading it... The possibilities are there but they just aren't willing to look into them.
