Not tried anyplace, yet. Figured I'd ask the experts.

Got a question about technology? Ask it here. Discussion of hardware, software, TiVos, multi-region DVDs, Windows, Macs, LINUX, hand-helds, iPods, anything tech related. Better than any helpdesk!
Thing is, I'm not absolutely convinced SuprNova and the other tracker sites are doing anything illegal. The only thing they do is provide links to files hosted on other sites, and those files themselves don't constitute copyrighted material.
But that doesn't help the guys who host the tracker sites fight the lawsuits.

I can confirm that iTunes has several versions of this song available.
Whoo hoo! Time to tie up my downloading channels for a couple of hours tonight.
I don't think there's a version of iTunes for Windows 98.
What I did on Suprnova was download TV episodes I had missed. I don't see any difference between this and Tivo or a VCR. I hope the courts agree with me, eventually.

That presumes this will ever get to the courts. If none of the tracker sites have the finances to fight the lawsuits, they'll just keep disappearing.
Although one of them just switched to a .tv site, which, if memory serves, is outside US and EU jurisdiction.

Tuvalu, if I remember the name right. It's a wee island somewhere in the south Pacific that makes an absurd percentage of their GNP on domain registrations.
Torrentreactor dot net seems to still be alive.
To be perfectly honest, if they had a download site where I could download eps for $1 a pop, I'd consider downloading them. Granted, I would hope that volume discounts would be available because it is possible that some weeks, I've downloaded 7 eps at a time.
But I worry that if such a service existed, they'd start charging DVD prices for eps and I'd still have to suffer through download delays and shitty video quality in some cases.
