Where are people downloading the show from and is it legal?
Is that tv.org site on the up and up??
Any info would be appreciated.
Thanks

I do not think it is legal.
I personally Tivo my episodes.

I agree that TiVo'ing would be the best thing to do, but I unfortunately have not entered that realm of technology yet.
I would love to go bcak and revisit the old episodes and was hoping someone had a suggestion.

As far as I can tell the MPAA are going around shutting down all the torrent sites. Already most of the major sites have been forced to close down, supernova being one of the major ones to go down.
If you can find a torrent site to download LOST then good luck.
About the legal bit.
To tape a show is illegal, to make a copy of the show is illegal, but since everyone does it at home, how the hell are you going to arrest so many people?
It is illegal to download from the net, but it's the same as someone taping it and you borrowing it.
I think it's the ease at which files are being downloaded that people are worried about it. But this is mainly movies and music.
Also you get the odd few who download the series and not buy the dvd.
In order to make torrent work, buy what you download when it's available in the shops, and support it when it's showing on your network.
