Question for all those who watch outside the USA, which I'm thinking of doing this season because I really enjoyed BB9 on E4 this year.

How do you watch?

Download after every show (ie. Monday, Wednesay and Thursday?) or do you download all three on a Thursday night? I'm unsure what is the best way to go about it.. and try and be efficient with burning discs..

How big roughly is a weeks-worth..? More or less than a 700mb CD?

Ah, I'm rather excited though. I loved last season so much.

I usually use Mininova.

Just search Big Brother, its usually there the following day from whenever it airs in the US.

Download the torrent, open it in BitTorrent and away you go.

Each episode is about 350mb, give or take. So, you might be lucky enough to get 2 on a 700mb CD.

Need any more help, just ask.

I use mIrc, as I do for BBAU. It's become really fast over the last few weeks. Oh, and I download each show a.s.a.p. Gonna be hard keeping up with three BB's at the same time for a week
I think how big each week is depends on where it's downloaded from. The ones I usually get are 350mb each.

Hm. Thanks for that. Too big for a 700mb CD.. but a bit of a waste to put on a 4gb DVD..

I might download as the weeks go on, and then burn onto DVD when I get enough to fill a disc..

That's what I do. Every 12 episodes I burn to DVD.
Season 9 (33 episodes) spans 2 and 3/4 DVD's.

I either watch it live on here with the others, or watch the stream the next morning, I never download, too much of a hassle and takes too long as I watch quite a few things online and grab the time when I can

On that videobrother site...if you click the On Demand button on the player...they're currently showing BB5 and BB6.
I only started watching from last season...so I'm not sure how good they are.
Llamajohn and Mirage are the BB:USA knowledge base
They'll be watching the Live Show with us in about an hours time

for those in the US/Canada and watch BBUK how do you do it?
im asking for a friend who is moving back to NA in a few days and is going to find it VERY VERY hard to miss the last few weeks of this years BBUK would like a push in the right direction.

I told her about the newsgroups, but she doesnt know how to work em and I cant get to her to show her how to use them either.

Any help would be appreciated, thank you.
