You may be able to view the eppisode online, check CN video for your county to see what episodes are availible. Many of the shorts are on CN UK and I can view them here in the States. but I know many places have issues accessing the CN US from overseas.

I would partially agree with Ditchy. but I have my own reasons for not being fond of Torrets. I personally prefer RAR formats, but I understand the Copyright, Bandwidth and hosting issues associated to them.

WinRaR is not free, but neither is WinZip. WinRaR can be downloaded and used as an evaluation copy, and it can continue to be used without registering. I have switched over to using it over the past few years because of the enhancements that it offers above WinZip.

AS for Torrets, they are complex. and they do require a bit more knowlege then using just anything. for torrets you first need a torret client. I use UTorret, but there are others. Some are a bit more complex to use than others. the key for using torrets is to make sure you turn off the torret software when you do not use them and ignore Warning messages if it is working. also make sure to give it 5 min to start working. when choosing if to download a torret or not, the big thing is How many Seeders, and how many peers. If the seeders are lets say more than 1/3 of the peers then it should not be bad to download. so take the # of peers and divide it by the number of seeders. if the number is less than 3 the time is not so bad. the eppisode took me 45 min to download at this 1:3 ration. do not base your choice on number of peers unless you are technical enough to make sure that the ports have been opened against your ISP and firewalls, and properly fowarded through your Router if you are on wireless network or hub.

Either way, WinRAR and Torrets allow you to download the file to view offline at High quality through a vidio player (provided you installed the CODEX). while utube and other online streams are lower quality and require bandwidth to the internet to watch.
