episode 13 isnt it? O_o

I dont understand why anyone would use rars. Could someone explain the benefits to me?

thx

You're right. DOT made a mistake. This is really S02E13. Unfortunately I can't fix the filenames inside this torrent, but I can rename the title of this posting...

Cool, thanks :)

Cheers

Thanks for the upload!

Here some screenshots from this episode:

speedknot292003, I'm really not sure what the poster's reason is for using .rars, but I can tell you why I like them. I can usually set the first few rars to high priority download, get them first, unrar, and start watching while the rest downloads. Then set the next few to high, etc, until it's done. With a single file, I have to wait until it's all downloaded. There might be other reasons, of course, but that's my reason for preferring them.

@froog

sequential downloading (the method you described) is bad for the swarm. It generally leads to unbalanced availability and lower download speeds.


also personally i don't like rared files because then if i want to watch it and keep seeding i'm forced to have two copies on my drive. even when there's lots of free space that's stupid and annoying.

cskelm, both points are valid, of course. The disk space thing isn't really a problem for me. I generally seed torrents like this one for at least 5x, so the imbalance exists for a very small part of the life of the seeding. But on other torrents, it could certainly be a problem.

NOTE: The reason it's 2x14 instead of 2x13 is because the
episodes were shown out of order due to Obama's speech last
Monday. 2x13 was Best Friends, which will be shown next week,
and 2x14 was this episode. It probably had to be shown this
week instead of bumped to keep order because it's a Valentine's Day
themed episode.

This is S02E14 when u have download it, here it is s02e13,. so, where is 13 ?

you're right fr00g, in the case of something this small it's not likely to cause a problem... it really applies to larger torrents. Like Lost seasons 1-3... it seemed like half as many people had the last episodes than had the first few. Took me forever, lol.

small multi-part archives were really helpful back when all we had were newsgroups and floppy drives... but nowadays if you need to split something to move it it's easy enough to do it yourself, imho


i'm not sure if switching the episodes for timing's sake broke continuity, but wikipedia lists this as episode #213 and Chuck vs. the Best Friend as #214, though it isn't the original order

this is episode 14
andy richter is guest starring

Chuck (02x14) - Chuck Versus the Suburbs
"Chuck" .... Brad (1 episode, 2009)
- Chuck Versus the Suburbs (2009) TV episode .... Brad

so the text about this _really_ being episode 13 is just bullshit

episode 13 is called
Chuck (02x13) - Chuck Versus the Best Friend

the real episode 14 that was suppost to air today has yeat to be released

or maybe this is episode 13 but then nbc changed the airing schedule.
but still no sign of the real episode 14

This is "Chuck Versus The Suburbs". NBC's website says this is episode 13, not 14. See here:

thanks for the insight about the ep 13/14 mess. thought i was missing something.

If this is 13, then the release group -CTU named their torrent wrong. I got Chuck.S02E14.720p.HDTV.x264-CTU and that one and this one is exactly the same. Weird.

Both DOT and CTU released this episode as E14 at first. But CTU released a DIRFIX 35 minutes later with the files renamed to E13. DOT released their DIRFIX about 12 hours later.
