Torrents Made Easy

Miro screen shot
Miro (formerly The Democracy Player) is a great way to get video content using P2P. They seem to have excellent taste in shows, too, but I wonder where they're getting the HD version?

Miro looks kewl. I am going to have take a look. (And get more eps of "The Lab With Leo")

I've been using Miro for a little while now. It's great, all my show direct download and torrent feeds are there (Audio and video).

Though, the integrated player isn't great. Sounds rough :(

So this is how the Lab returns to the US

Unfortunately, it's not HD despite the HD logo. 656x368.

I guess the new thing is to call 16:9 content, HD.

I feel so honored to have brought this to Leo's attention. I was so glad to see his show on this program as a featured show. This is one way to get his show into the states.

Yeah I was wondering. Even though we shoot it in HD no one broadcasts it that way. So this is an "unofficial" torrent.

October 2, 2007 | Unregistered CommenterLeo

I'm very glad to see this even if it's "unofficial". I watched an episode and of course loved it. I'd pay for it if it were on iTunes or wherever I could download it.

Fantastic! It's a shame that it isn't available on iTunes because I would (as many others, no doubt) gladly buy a season pass. It'd be great.

Keep up the great work Leo!

Miro channel search leaves a fair bit to be desired. To find this show I first searched for the 'The Lab' - nothing. Then I searched for 'Leo Laporte' - nothing. I finally found it by searching 'Laporte'. Not too smart.

i like the lab i would like to see it on itunes one way to get in the states

Leo,

How did you go from being a Featured show to not having any Lab content on there anymore in just 4 days? Did your post here bring it to a lawyers attention who made it come down?

Sincerely,

Disappointed Fan

Cool, but i can't find it. :-( I've tried searching the lab, laporte and things like that.

Does anyone know if it's been taken down? Or how i might find it?

They get the "Lab with Leo" torrents from HDbits.org, there Hi-Def torrents site only, there on a private beta right now, invite only, and there going to stay that way forever by the looks of things. Miro is great, it's just a huge memory hog on Windows, or maybe it's just me.

Leo, thanks for the mention on the torrent. When I went into Transmission, there were 30 seeders.

Also, Leo, you should get The Lab on Joost. That would be awesome!
