Site Updates

I’ve just finished uploading a bunch of changes to the site. The largest of which is that no torrents are hosted here anymore. Now when you click the download link on the episode pages, you’ll be redirected to the torrent’s page at Mininova. This makes it so that there will no longer be any legal issues (nothing illegal about linking to a webpage on another site) as well as keeping a more accurate download count.
Since torrents are no longer hosted here, I’ve put the download links to Top Gear back up. Feel free to download any you’re missing. I also had a chance to add all of the missing episodes and I’ve reviewed all but a couple of them. Expect the missing descriptions to be filled in in the next day or two.
Also new for the tech geeks is valid XHTML 1.0 Transitional code. Let me know if you happen to find a page that fails validation and I’ll fix it.
Lastly, I’m putting the final touches on a new mailing list feature for those who don’t have feed readers to monitor the various site feeds with. Once it’s out, it’ll be a beta of sorts though for the first week or two as we see if it can handle sending out an e-mail to everyone on the list.
Hope you enjoy the new features! However, if you encouter anything that’s broken, please let me know in this forum thread.
