A 550 megabyte standard definition rip was released by the Scene not long after we torrented their 720p rip, however I held off in the unlikely even that they’d also release a 700MB rip. Still no sign of one, so I’ve torrented up the 550MB rip and you can find it right here.

As for the odd size, 550 megabytes for a 60 minute show works out to about the same bitrate as 350 megabytes for a 42 minute show (one hour with commercials). Since I assume mostly people on slow Internet will be the ones downloading this SD rip, the smaller size is also an advantage. If you aren’t on slow Internet, I highly recommend the HD rip (it’s much, much better quality).

And a reminder — this is the last episode of the current season. They’ll be back sometime this summer (late June based on previous seasons). We invite you to participate in our forums meanwhile — there’s more than just Top Gear discussion there.
