I had been told in the past through unofficial channels that as long as I didn't offer direct downloads, they would leave me alone, but that is apparently no longer the case.
It has been a wild ride, and you never know, if I find a less cooperative host in the future, I may start the site back up, but in the meantime, if I find another site like this, I will post up a link here, so keep checking back.
In the meantime, you can still get all of your Top Gear episodes fairly easily using a combination of Finalgear.com and a free account at btaccel.com.
Not as convenient as just going to the site and watching the video, but at least it doesn't involve uploading for hours, and your ISP is none the wiser
To the BBC:
This site was on track for 7.5 million hits this month. You have a HUGE number of dedicated fans all over the world that are trying desperatedly to get at some Top Gear. I get tons of emails on a daily basis asking where to buy Top Gear on DVD, so even if you don't offer a free solution like the iPlayer or offering episodes on Hulu, your fans will jump at the opportunity to get Top Gear in an official maner.
Contact If you want to send the BBC an email about their decision to close this site, here is where you should do it.
FTL!

I saw the dash of the new 670 SV, it looks so cheap and juvenile for a supercar or anything that costs a considerable amount of money...am I the only one to feel this way...take a look, I feel like it looks so cheap and so subpar even if the dash was on a $50,000 car IMHO.
Here is the dash for the McLaren SLR 722:

Whole point of a Lambo is it's a big kids toy, that dash is unique and fun....SLR's is just from an SL600 with red accents added

I see that philosophy, I still don't get why it looks so cheap vs. other cars, a gallardo dash looks better that it IMHO. To each their own of course.
