u mention cheap drinking in there :smile: gotta tive u respect for that, but tv shows are important too for the student without a tv-licence :wink:


I hear that. I'm an American and I had no idea what in god's name a TV license was. But there's plenty of places to stream shows.

incidentally if anyone out there likes south park...theres a good site called south park zone where you can stream every single episode of the show ever created.

yes what accommodation are you in?, you are directly contradicting BEN
All of them connect directly into the UCL network so it makes no difference.

And tv-links, alluc are flash stream sites. Joost, stage6 etc employ similar technologies to get divx quality video streamed with a very small downloaded plug in.

Torrenting is very usually noticed since you're also uploading and torrents tend to try to saturate bandwidth. If you are torrenting often, you'll get picked up for it.
