Does anyone know a good site for downloading full episodes of tv shows? Not specifically Lost.

You should download a torrent programme first

I use BitComet. Then, when you download it there should be a list of websites on the programme where you can download from in the Favourites tab. My brother always uses "Torrentz" and I often use xtvi. Be careful what you download though, as always.

But if you don't want to do that I know Charlie downloads from this site: Rapidshare Links . I found it easier to use a torrent programme though, it's alright once you get the hang of it!

Hope that helps

the sites linked below all offer LOST and other tv shows. most of them may have foreign language subtitles in them, mainly because networks in their countries of origin haven't got the legislative stranglehold they enjoy stateside

tv-links.cc
free-tv-video-online.info
watchtvsitcoms.com

[edit] they're all flash movies, so the quality isn't as good as a torrent site

Try searching on Google for "Lost Season Megaupload Rapidshare". That will give you several places that offer the eps to download, blogs and forums. You can do that with any TV show or movie.

Shows how bad the whole piracy issue has become. And why Bluray's invented a whole new system to prevent it. Not good enough but they tried. XD

Ok so i tried everyone's suggestions, thanks again btw.

The torrent's worked… sort of. lol They took really long to download, and never really finished. And the rapid share links I found were all dead. But don't worry, I found this site that streams all 3 seasons for free, (with Japanese subtitles) lol
So thanks for all your help, I'm sure your suggestions would have worked better if I was looking for a show that was still on the air. lol I'll keep these in mind, next time.

I was looking for Roswell. I found season 1 on hulu.com and was hooked. But it sucked because they didn't have to other 2 seasons so i had to hunt around the internet to find them. I watched most of season 2 and 3 on that site i mentioned, and now i'm in the process of ordering them through Netflix because i got my sister and brothers into it. lol

I tried using Rapidshare links, but I'm not quite sure how the AVI rips work. each episode was split into four parts. After I downloaded and decompressed one part and tried to play it back, I got only sound. So I have a few questions:

Will I have to download all four for the episode to work?
How do I know which one to open for all of them to play?
Will Streamclip be able to convert them into something I can edit?
