the pdtv cap is 700mb
mininova search doesn't find it so try btchat

the name of the torrent is torchwood 1x08 (pdtv-xor) [vtv] but it's actually not
a xor cap it's by river
their is also a 277mb available on ipod if you know where to look. the smaller
files are good if you have download limits,they look good enough but i always
look here first these guys are nearly always first to release stuff
guess the file was longer than 45 minutes, which means scene rules kick in and
force them to go to 700mb. stupid rule in my opinion, but the scene is the
scene. at least it explains why there is no hdtv release, since it would have
only been 175mb smaller than the hr.
incidentally the mininova link for the pdtv is mininova.org/tor/504178 - though
if the pdtv is 700 and the hr hdtv is 880, i'd be taking the hr!
there's a 350mb on demonoid... not sure if it's hdtv or pdtv though but it's
supposedly very good (i have it but haven't had the opportunity to watch it
yet). it was done by one of the regulars there so it's not scene (for those that
care).
you could always just grab the madmartha release (mininova.org/tor/504133)
which, while not done by a specific group, is a perfectly fine release and not
bloated in size.
mad martha's are not taken from bbc hd. hers are the best out there taken from
bbc3. hers are a good substitute while i wait for the hr hdtv versions. and this
ep was almost 53 mins long, not the normal 49 mins long.
as i posted above, any hdtv release from bia would be 700mb like the pdtv
release due to scene rules. so i imagine they won't bother releasing one since
it is so close to the hr size.
i really like the show and it just seems to be getting better... but i wouldn't
download 700mb for an extra 4 or 5 minutes - that's why i got the mm version 🙂
not like my opinion would make a diff but the scene rules should allow for
extended programs.... eg. +10mb / minute over 48 minutes or soemthing like that :/

it's a shame really, as i'd still take the hdtv even if it's 700mb because at
least that one fits on a cd, and seeing as i don't have a dvd-rw, the hr isn't
of much use for me ☹️.
but thanks for replying anyway!
