so sorry, Maris, I know I was frustrated trying to get streamTV set up. just one thought ... I started completely over before I got it to work, deleted/uninstalled all files I'd downloaded and ... other than keeping my subscription, began entirely over. but if you have audio and the daily shows, you're pretty well off.

Hi Maris You have to keep trying at UKNova. Slots come up everyday. I Kept retrying and eventually signed up after a few hours. But then I'm an ex pat Brit desperate to get Eastenders and other Brit TV shows. This is the sign up URL www.uknova.com/signup.php You could also try Demonoid.com who are a lot less picky about ratios and stuff. They have an open registration every Friday, and I was able to sign up fine there. Good Luck

progress. I have downloaded torrents, and successfully downloaded what I think is the first episode of the show. Do you know if there are more episodes to download in torrents?

I do not give up easily, found this link which basically will keep resubmitting your name to UKNOVA http://paulbain.co.uk/uknova/ It was posted by the administrator of one of the BB sites: http://www.thisisbigbrother.com/forum/topic52875.htm

Good for you Maris We are up to day 7 so there are several other daily and live shows to download. UKNova is a good site but I'd advise you to read the FAQ and some of the forums about getting and keeping a good ratio.

Remember to download the little brother shows, big mouth shows, and brain shows. They add so much to the enjoyment and information. I am in the middle of watching 7b daily show...OMG...Leo has managed to make himself even more unlikeable. The show is finally getting juicy. I am getting such a kick out out of Dirk's crush on Shilpa...LOL Dirk looked so cute decorating that banner with flowers Oh my, now Leo is in the diary room threatening to quit. I can't wait to see how this show ends..it's such a good one.

I am watching 5 b right now I am really enjoying it. The only people I know are Ken Russel, Leo Sayer and Jermaine Jackson. So far I really like Jermaine. That mother jackie (sp), I think I would got nuts living with her.

I just peeked at a couple of the online betting places, and most have Jack leaving today. He seems to be Jades rock as far as coping with the craziness from her mother. So if he does leave, I bet Jade will have a melt down. I was happy to see Cleo, Dirk and Shilpa are pretty much favorites all around. I was shocked not to see Jermaine up there as favorite. There is something about Cleo's voice I find so charming. Cleo looks almost exactly like my mother, but I think about 15 years younger. The thing about Shilpa---I really like her...but you know how when people complain about something, and then the constant complaining starts to get as annoying as the thing they are complaining about after awhile? That's how I am starting to feel about Shilpa and her complaining about Jackie...LOL I just realized Dirk is 61 years old. He looks damn fine for 61

I know, I cant believe he is 61. I like Shilpa and love Jermaine. Jackie needs to go, she is annoying as all get out. I dont see them letting Jack go, what does he do? he made no impresion on me other than he i good with a broom. Jade ha been bawling ever since I watched. I loved watching the grandparents telling jackie to shut her gate. lol I havent found the torrent for 7b yet but I have watched 5b and 6b so I am only a day behind. This is so much better than BBUSA so far my favorites are Carole and Jermaine.

I think Carole just moved up to one of my favs, too, Maris...and I'll tell ya why. While Leo was complaining to her that they as celebrities shouldn't be treated the way big brother is treating them, they should be treated better than regular contestants in the regular show...Carole chimed in that she feels as celebrities, being payed, they should be subjected to worse than the regular person. Gosh that made me like her A LOT She gets it

For people new to using uknova, since they don't have rss feeds alerts to notify me of a new BB torrents, this is the search results page I keep saved. The new BB torrents will be listed at the top. You have to refresh it to see the new stuff. And then when regular BBUK starts, this search results page lists those eps, too. It's just easier than going to main page and having to submit the search every time. http://uknova.com/browse.php?c25=1&incldead=0

I was wondering why the daily 7b show hadn't turned up in torrents yet for you guys...I found out it's because the torrents one is originally from usenet, then someone downloads it from usenet and sticks it in torrents. It's already been several hours since I have had the ep from usenet. For anybody trying to learn how to usenet, please feel free to ask me me anything. It's a little more complicated, but again, it's one of those things where if you do it 3 or 4 times, it feels like old hat. I'm not very patient when it comes to real time shows like BB, so that's why I like usenet...as well as the fact as I get annoyed having to tie up my upload bandwidth by being a friggin seeder if I don't have to be.

Hi Naja about usenet. Briefly can you use it with any platform? Do you need an intermediary thing like azures to get the shows? How do I find them on the net? Leo Sayer Wow! True colours!

7 b is up in torrents and I tried to download it but I got this message: Aborting the torrent as it could not connect to the tracker while not connected to any peers. Do you know what that means Naja?

Maris, I'm not sure what that message means Did you retry it? Was there an error number or anything? Finqwik, I use a free program called Grabit from from www.shemes.com . I have my free 2 gig comcast usenet account in it, and I buy 8 more gigs from shemes and theirs servers for 7 bucks a month. I suppose there are other programs you could use, but grabit is especially made for the trickiness of downloading media. I have never used another program for downloading media, but I did try with OE and just couldn't figure out what to do. Downloading them from usenet is a little different. You have to download the individual .rar files that make up the show to a folder, and then unpack them with a click with whatever your archiving program is. Mine is winrar.

Maris, I looked it up in their forum. They seem to say it's a ratio problem and now you have a delay before you can start downloading. http://www.uknova.com/forums.php?action=viewtopic&topicid=37023&page=p351484#351484

Thanks Naja, I will try tonight. I think it is because I am new. I cant figure out that ratio stuff. If you find out who goes today post it for me. I am hoping it is Jackie. I heard leo left. Is that true?

perhaps this is redundant to some ... but I find updates and "news" at this site: http://bigbrother.digitalspy.co.uk/liveupdates http://bigbrother.digitalspy.co.uk/news the first is a small paragraph timeline update, the second is a little more indepth report and for discussion (nothing like here of course, but info none the less): http://www.digitalspy.co.uk/forums

Maris, WHen you see the torrent jump from the top window to the bottom window, then you become a seeder. You will see one column labeled "share ratio". Ideally you shouldn't remove the torrent from azureus until you see the share ratio say 1.0 That means you uploaded and gave back as much as you took. Something like .625 means you only gave back about 2/3 of what you took, and 2.0 would mean you gave back twice as much as you took. It's a hard keep you ratio up with these BBUK files unless you jump right on the torrent as soon as it's posted. I leave azureus running all night while I am seeding to keep up my ratio. Your overall ratio shows up by your name on the site.

Thanks Naja, I deleted the torrents as soon as I watched them. So I should basically keep them. I dont know what azureus is but I am assuming it is the same as bittorrent. Tough to keep up with this stuff. I guess I should swallow my pride and ask my 15 year old for help, he probably knows what all this stuff is.
