For those who didn’t visit the IRC channel where the torrent links were posted while we were down, here they are:

• PDTV (pure digital TV) scene rip by the group “HAGGiS” [350 MB]
• Analog rip by one of our forum members, Overheat [290 MB]

And again, Vuk’s 350 MB rip will be released shortly after he gets back on November 26th for those who want it.

Sorry about the downtime. Long story short, the box needed a reboot as a cron was stuck in a loop or something like that. Then it refused to fully boot up, so it ended up needed a hard drive wipe. Luckily though, a backup was able to be made before the wipe, so nothing was lost. :)

Since Vuk will be out of town until the 26th, here is a 700MB rip of the latest Top Gear: http://www.mininova.org/tor/152957

Yes, I know we were going to make a 350MB re-encode of that rip, but long story short, we decided that this would be easier and that those who can’t afford to download 700MB can wait until later this month for Vuk’s rip.

Anyway, hope you enjoy the episode! :)

Edit: Overheat torrented up his 350MB analog source rip and you can get it right here.

Might as well try and get some more out while I’m at it. :) Grab it right here if you don’t have this episode.

On a roll and in the mood, so here’s another re-torrent of a great episode. Enjoy. :)

I finally got off my lazy ass and re-torrented this old episode. Sorry for it taking so damn long. For those who don’t have the episode, you can go get it right here.

Yes, sadly Vuk will be gone from November 13th to November 26th. His PC will automatically record both Fifth Gear and Top Gear while he is gone I’m told, but he won’t be able to encode and upload them until he gets back.

However, rather than waiting until the 26th to release the 2 Fifth Gear episodes and 2 Top Gear episodes that will air while he is gone, we will be torrenting up scene releases (rips done by RiVER, GOTHiC, or whoever) to hold people over until we can release Vuk’s rips. Their Fifth Gear rips will be 350MB, so we’ll just torrent those up as they are, but for Top Gear, they’ll be 700MB, so we’ll be re-encoding them to 350MB as we here at FinalGear.com think 700MB is overkill for 60 minutes of video.

Anyway, I just wanted to give you all a head’s up as to what will be going on. Please have a little patience and we will try to get you your motoring show fixes as quickly and in the best quality as possible. :)

Edit: Feel free to comment in this thread in the forums.

Yep, another episode of Fifth Gear. Grab it here and discuss here. Enjoy! :)

An article covering some of the things in the upcoming season of Top Gear was posted at TopGear.com. You can read the article right here, but please realize that it contains spoilers.
