Hi Don. You're right about the seeding, but I've left several UKNova torrents seeding for months without any takers.  Since everyone is keen to keep their ratio up, everyone seeds prolifically and there's a lot of competition.

Uploading new content gives your ratio a boost until others fully download it and start to seed too. The problem is getting new UK TV material in Oz!  I did it once when I recorded a short comedy in which Bob Geldof got deserted in a small town with no money or ID and entered himself in a Bob Geldof Lookalike Contest to try to win enough money to escape.

That's why I rely on donating to UKNova to keep my ratio up.

Whoa - you struck it lucky there alright Dean - you'll find it won't be open for joining up for long.

Get in there while you can chaps.

Totally agree with kJ - I have mentioned before that not everything on there is for re-distribution.

Mark - you don't have to upload anything to keep your ratio, in fact you have to apply to be an uploader and be approved.

I have been a member for 5 years and have never uploaded anything.

I just make sure I seed anything I download until the Torrent expires and my score is always good.

Plus I download the popular progs such as JaM , ISIHAC, News Quiz, Now Show, Afternoon Play 

So there's always plenty of people wanting to leech them.

On UK Nova, I had a look last night and I was able to join very simply last night and have posted in the forums and been welcomed! http://www.uknova.com/wsgi/topic/view/102017 Of course I haven’t as yet tried to post a file or download one there – but it looks like joining up isn’t an issue.

 

On YouTube, people can have their material ripped down if its a breach of copyright – but if you look here you can see that the last series of Have I Got News For You is still available and being posted by several different people http://www.youtube.com/results?search_query=hignfy+series+42&oq=hignfy+series+42&aq=f&aqi=g10&aql=&gs_sm=3&gs_upl=214l5503l0l6255l13l13l0l6l6l1l588l2541l2.1.4-1.3l7l0 Having said that – if we did post on YouTube you’d be well advised to download from there to yr PC in case it did get pulled down. On durations the files often get posted in 10 minute bits. This doesn’t bother me, but if there are better sites that’s great.

 

Dropbox looks very promising though the Forum page seems to be full of complaints. Still I’d take Don’s advice if he finds it good.

 

I liked the tenor of Espen’s comments too.
