Previously, Amazon Video had all of the Top Gear seasons, but you had to buy them to watch. I’ve just discovered that series 2-17 have quietly been made free with Prime. If you don’t see me again it’s because I’ve wasted away on my couch.

Back when I was in college, 2011, I torrented every episode, over 100 GB of data, to that point on my school’s internet in one night.

Georgia Tech was right next to a major hub. I did a speed test in ChemE computer lab one time when I was the only person in there, it was over 300 MB/s. It was ridiculous how good it was.

I’ve had every episode for free for a long time.
There’s a link on Reddit to a really good torrent of every single old old and old Top Gear episode including the specials. It’s something like 300 GB all in.

I liked TG at one time; had a few great laughs, too. But I came to a point where Clarkson was just too much of a knob and BBC flushed him and I lost interest. The remake, with that Matt guy, bleh.
All my money is on the Roadkill franchise.

Enjoy it while you can, because season 2 of The Grand Tour won’t be free for Prime members.

If you are planning a binge, Amazon skips S9E1 (Hammond’s dragster crash).

There was some stuff on TG that I found amusing, but I too couldn’t stand Clarkson* and got really, really tired of TG fans who acted like they knew everything about cars just because they could preface everything with “Well, Clarkson said...”
* seriously, I’ve had my absolute fill of British blowhards who think their role in life is to criticize Americans. If I had my way, Piers Morgan, Jeremy Clarkson, and Nick Denton would be stuffed in a crate and sent off to be handled by top men.
Top.
Men.
(oh, and just a Public Service Announcement: if you’re going to do a GIS for “top men,” be damn sure you have “SafeSearch” on.)

I remember i2hub. The peer to peer software for abusing internet 2 connections between campuses, which just about everybody on my floor in Smith on North Ave was using... So pirate. Many download. Much speed. Wow.

I think by the time I was in Hemphill i2hub had more or less gotten nuked. OH WELL

I don’t think I was around for that. When I was in the fraternity house my pledge brother/roommate was always torrenting stuff. Which could have been bad since we used a router that was under my name. They only seemed to get pissed if you downloaded movies thought, so I didn’t touch those.

A roommate went berserk with games, anime, etc. etc. but only limited dipping into movies - though in the i2hub days, I don’t think GT’s packet sniffing was worth crap.

They must have gotten better, since I knew multiple who got warning letters from the OSI for torrenting movies.

I did exactly the same back in high school but downloaded it all on my surprisingly fast home internet. It must of not been a good quality as yours because remember that I carried them around on my (then new) 80GB iPod video.

I only got 720p cause I didn’t have enough storage space for 1080p.
