Comments on: How CBC torrented a TV show http://boingboing.net/2008/03/26/how-cbc-torrented-a.html Brain candy for Happy Mutants Wed, 22 May 2013 14:31:00 +0000 hourly 1 http://wordpress.org/?v=3.4.1 By: Jardine http://boingboing.net/2008/03/26/how-cbc-torrented-a.html#comment-150809 Jardine Wed, 30 Nov -0001 00:00:00 +0000 #comment-150809 I think they need to consult with some of the groups that release unathorized copies of tv shows. The standard for an hour-long show is 350MB and they usually look better than this one at 545MB. I noticed that this one seems to have some interlacing problems (you can see the image tearing) and pixelation. For a first try though, good job. And I love the idea of a public broadcaster serving the public. I think they need to consult with some of the groups that release unathorized copies of tv shows.

The mobile version is only 280 MB, so it's hardly going to break your download caps. Heck, you might even like it. Oh, and no matter where you live, go grab the torrent here
