Hi, your favorite video supplier here. Guess what I got my hands on? That's right ladies and gentlemen, I have brand NEW Fifth Gear epsiodes.

I know a guy from another forum who's from England and he's going to record them all and I'm hosting them.

EACH WEEK'S, DAY'S, WHATEVER, WILL ONLY BE HOSTED UNTIL THE NEXT ONE IS READY. (I only have enough space for one episode at a time.)

I'm talking to my friend who runs Fast-Autos.net though and seeing if he's willing to let us host them there.

Anyway, you can find the latest one here:

Review of yesterday's episode coming soon! (Watching it now.)

SWEEEEEEEEET. Thats really cool. I think everyone will appreciate this . I Know i definitely will. Thanks so much dude

No problemo. It sucks we don't have the sow here in the States (lucky British bastards).

What's in 2003.10.27's episode (http://www.five.tv/home/frameset/?content=2278491):

• Vicki goes and plays in dirt with the TVR T350
• Best car for under £6500 (how much USD is that?)
• Tom plays with some British military toys. Nothing compares to the Abrahms (sp?) though. Anyone seen that, umm, Motor Week I think it was, episode where they test drove one? It goes like 60 MPH and goes over bumps without feeling it! Now THAT's what I call suspension. Not to mention it's the only tank in the world that can be moving and hit a target, whether the target be moving or not.

Anyway, enjoy boys!

i think it might be around $10000 US but im not exaclty sure.
im having a look at a currency converter now. Wow i was close. Its 10,984.90 USD

The cheapest cars here run about 9 grand and you get a 7 year/100,000 mile drive train warranty with those.

And yay! I can get a pound of platnium for only $11,935.85!

Viper007Bond You rock!!!

Alert alert. The link isn't working for me.

The system is down! The system is down!!

It's working for me (downloading right now...)

Thannnnnkkkkkkk you!!!!

What? no! THIS ISN'T HUMAN!!

NONE of viper's stuff is working for me, not his avatar, not his links, nore any of his websites. Could someone plz HELP!!!

Bloody hell, I didn't get the whole thing!!

Time to try again I guess...

Got it.

Econo car section was less than exciting as well as the TVR section. That woman sucks as a commentator, although she does have a good grip on that stick...

Army stuff was fun.

Overall... eh... hopefully the next episode will be better...

Suggestion: Could you make the names of the file relate somewhat to their content ie. "5th_Gear_(date)_Enzo_test.mpg", etc?

Could someone please explain to me why this isnt working for me?

Weird... You can't see my site? o.O

If you can't, then there is nothing that I can do for you. Somewhere along the line, it's not getting through.

I'll try and remember to rename them to something like that.

I cant do ANYTHING with your site. Even your lambo avatar and your music link won't work on my comp. god's teasing me I think, anyone have any thoughts?

i :heart: you

SCCCCCOOOOOOOOORRRRRREEEEEEE!!!!!!!!!!!

Thank you, this is awesome The best part was test driving the Daihatsu lol.

WOOT! IM BACK ON!! Oh im so happy now. It was a glitch in my network.

Can whoever made the torrents post them again please?

I am awaiting this weeks 5th gear and I'd like to say thanks so much viper for hosting these. I can sit down now and say "Oh I want to see that M3 test again."

I love sitting down and watching these eps every week...it's become a tradition very very quickly for me. Keep it up to the best of your ability

If Viper was online right now I'd work on getting the other video posted. Unfortunately I can't do much right now though because he gave me a link to download it from his server so I can upload it to mine yet hes rejecting hotlinks so I can't save as. Doh

in fact, the link he gave me in a pm, I can't even download it because of hotlinking. heh

Whoops, problem fixed.

This weeks it now up and last week's is still up as well.

It's simply fantastic!!
Nice video!! XD

well this weeks 5th gear is up so get in now...

And if anyone interested in stats...

(Work in progress - not done yet - stats since yesterday morning or so)

http://test.viper007bond.com/download.php?stats=1

I've got the latest, greatest fifth gear

Now to watch it...

Holy crap... Check out the calculated bandwidth used in the past TWO days since it started counting...

(see the link I posted post before last)

maybe if we didnt have this stuff on a public forum things would be a lot less raping..

Wow....75 gigs a day! Damn!

The next 5th Gear is up in torrent form at http://dinomite.net/torrent/5th%20Gear%20-...ash.wmv.torrent

120 GB per day right now...

Monday's Fifth Gear is up at the new URL:

http://gear.viper007bond.com/

That last Fifth Gear (Nov.24) was pretty lame. Hey look, we'll drive six cars around a race track once, great... the show is done.

Yeah, but it's still got Tiff

It says there were problems with permissions, but there still are problems for me. Please help! Thanks.

Back up. He had problems with permissions.

However, there is a connection number limit, so you may have problems with that.

has someone put password accessto the fifth gear video...cuz i am getting this access error .......plz help

If you read, there is a userlimit for the site hosting them.

I'll work on getting it so multiple people can host each file, but I'm working on writing a while new version of the site (which is taking longer than expected...) so who knows when that all will be done.

Anyway, quit bitching.

I never had any issues with hosting.ca. I know you are having issues wiht the hosting viperbond but any chance of getting the new episodes up there?

I wish there was a way to limit the uploads as best as we could. The problem is every single person wandering through can just pick up the episodes and completely ruin anyone's server. So what if we had a password system? viperbond makes just one username and password and we pm him asking for it. He pm's us back with the info we need to download it so we can keep the load on his computer smaller. just a thought. We only have so many regulars anyways and you could keep the passwords the same just so long as no one ruins it.

Just a thought.

A password system sounds pretty good to me...

How about compulsory use of Bit Torrent so that the more popular the files become the more bandwidth is donated by the downloaders?

I just stopped hosting the bittorrents because of the six episodes I hosted, I had one download. BitTorrent is the perfect system for this sort of thing. If you want to just give me the files each week, I can bittorrent them and then we can just post the bittorrent links. It's not like bittorrent is hard to install or use.

Will do once I get the site back up along with hosting.
