Best program to download episodes?

Does anyone here download TV episodes on their computer? I borrowed Battlestar Gallactica seasons 1 and 2 from my dad and now I'm hooked. Can't say I liked the show before, but you really have to watch it from the beginning.

There are other shows I would also like to download, just not sure where.

Thanks

If you have a program that already downloads applications, look for BEARFLIX

It's Bearshare, but specifically for movie files, does a good job

Thanks guys, appreciate it.

Well, I am going to download them for free, but I also intend to buy all episodes when they come out.

Suppose its illegal to tape shows at they come on the air as well? I'd like to see someone try to enforce copyright laws.

I've just always been disappointed with the quality of files that I get from file-sharing programs like WinMX when I used to use that. The recording industry has sued a lot of people over illegal downloading, I just don't want the hassle. To me, it's worth the 99 cents to have a nice clean copy without the risk, as remote as it may be. It's only money.

ORENJi and OMiCRON torrents for Battlestar Galactica are generally high quality, DiVX, and in widescreen.

I record them myself, but these are usually higher quality than I can make myself. They'll do until the next set of DVDs is released.

I used to use iTunes, but the quality of the downloaded episodes is very poor, and at $2 each, I expect better.
