Battlestar Galactica S04E05 The Road Less Travelled HDTV XviD-FQM - Forums - EZTV

i think the glitches a lot of people have been posting about in the last few
weeks are related to old codec packs. i was seeing this with a few programmes,
but the latest codec seem to fix the issue 🙂

aghhh!
yesterday i added the new vtv feed so that it would pick up the supernatural
episode, and today the battlestar episode got downloaded twice; the usual eztv
release and the vtv. grrr.

especially in the hd shows on eztv i have been seeing lots of posts from people
about out of sync audio and glitches recently.

to be honest, most of these problems are user related and not to do with the
files. anyone who sees a comment like this should wait for 2-3 confirmations
before avoiding the download.

those with problems, make sure you are using a decent player (mpc, vlc) that is
up to date.

fqm rarely screw up their releases & usually have a repack or a proper out fast
if they do. this is just from experience with this group

very true. 6124 tv releases and just 17 propers and 31 repacks in 4 years.
by far the best scene ratio.

oh and this ep was fine for me also 😛

hi wrecche,
thanks for the info that the file is ok. i'm sure we all appreciate that 🙂

your 'lost-esque style' comment is very true as well. sure most of these type
shows are like that now. they are soap operas & as such get dragged on & on
sometimes. it doesn't matter if it's on an island or in space tbo...

again, thanks for the file info.

regards,

no wuckas mate !! 🙂

as others have already attested to also, it's fine this rip!

cheers,

hi guys,
i'm d/ling it now thanks to the good comments & my re-affirmed belief in fqm!

fqm are one of the best (if not the best) release groups. i was just being
patient because everyone can have a bad day...if you know what i mean 🙂

some people here need to have a bit of patience!

torrent d/l isn't always fast. the lucky ones have the big connections & the d/l
speeds but the rest of us , like me, can get that torrent too.

for instance i'm an hour & a half into this d/l & i'm at 39%. you don't hear me
complaining about speed. i guess if you have a really fast connection & things
slow down then you start to give out.

i'm just thankful that i can get this file in the first place so speed isn't an
issue. i'd like it to be faster, of course, but it is what it is 🙂

thanks to eztv & fqm...

don't bitch & moan about d/l speeds. you'll get no sympathy from me!

regards,

great advice, a generic copy of this comment should be auto-inserted at the
beginning of every torrents comments threads.

+1 !

check the smart episode it will not happen again. i have the feeds and that and
got it only once.

on oos there is always a dolt who watches it on his atari and gives false alarms.

thanks. i've never known exactly what that was for, and now i know.

they have been showing some episodes earlier in the day on scifi's website (not
this week's, though). and it looks like they are getting them up to watch online
next-day now.

they are embedded in the page, but the plugin syncs with my tv-out full-screen
settings (nvidia) and the quality is good. there are some short commercials, but
still less than watching on tv. you can pause, but you can't skip around.

i still prefer having it on my hard drive so i can rewatch any part easily and
sync it with the podcast. but this is another option people might like in some
cases. you don't have to wait for it to download and you don't have
to upload anything.

anyway, just an fyi. i'm curious what people think of the quality comparison
between their online rips and eztv's. the frame rate seems smoother here imo.

any why does this thing think "circ um stanc es" is a url?!

hi,
i'm sure it will be released at some stage.

this is the wrong place to ask however.

go to the link below if desperate:

http://www.eztv.it/index.php?forum=view_thread&tid=9264

edit:

i'm not trying to ci-rcumvent the security here or whatever but the url above
was removed.

so i had to put in the 'xx'.

and the word with the dash above was removed because it had those little three
letters in a row...lol

anyways read this & all your questions should be answered 🙂

regards,

thanks buddy.

ctu decided not to release it because so many complained about the lower quality
stream from comcast. 2hd and dim are the only other groups who could do it as
far as i know and as you see neither has stepped up. (yet)

my guess is ctu may still release it if no one else does.

so i got bored waiting for the 720p version and downloaded this one really
quickly and watched it.
i usually don't do that and never regret waiting because of the superb quality
of 720p... but to be honest this time i would have regretted it.
not the best bsg episode ever to begin with, but further it's almost all in ship
footage and close zoom on people and conversations.
long story short, nothing special in this episode that makes it worth waiting
for 720p to appear and then extra time waiting for it to download.

just my opinion on the episode, but i say go ahead and get this version this week.

that works for people outside the usa too...right?

i would assume so, but i don't know enough about networking to be sure. it would
certainly be nice if it did. i have heard that some of the soldiers in iraq and
afghanistan count on torrents to see their favorite shows; this kind of thing
might make it a little easier for them.

i still refuse to watch daily show and colbert on comedy central. they are
overloaded with adverts (it addition to the ones you see on the site already!),
the quality poor, and a lot of the segments are poorly edited (cut off or start
too soon etc.).

i was waiting for 720p too, but finally decided to download this version. the
quality is nothing near hd but i guess its better than waiting 🙂 ofc im gonna
still download the 720p version and watch it again.

and about the episode - the ending was kinda exciting 🙂
