Tempted to redownload again. Got another bad one. The video and audio go out of synch at around 6:38 for maybe 45 seconds.
The same thing happened with last weeks episode... everything was good until near the end when the video went gray for like a minute.

Yeah, my 720p was fine (DL slow as shit though)
Good watch. Didn't expect it to end so suddenly, though.

FWIW, I downloaded the 720 and 1080 versions and the 1080 only took 7 min longer. Both were done within an hour. I wanted to see how fast they would take.
Dunno why some people are having problems.

I had the SD copy. I have to use that one. MY computer can't handle 720 sometimes. It was encoded wrong or something. Mine acted really weird, the audio would desynch and then the video would change completely and make no sense at all. I lost probably 5 minutes of the show this way.
I have been meaning to say something. I really do wonder if the TG show in total are nice to the locals and respect them or completely f them over at times. Like this bridge. Did they want that? or what? I just wonder. I know they got in trouble for the thing they left in India.

I usually d/l the standard version because it d/l's quicker (just under 30 min for my connection) and I want to watch it ASAP. Maybe I should be more patient and d/l the 720 version.

Many great laughs were had.

+1. I thought exactly that when Jeremy tipped over his rental crane. Screwing around with the vehicles they purchased is one thing, but rentals? Hope they compensated.

Just read about the finalgear DMCA notice. 
Will be downloading Hola forthwith. I'll need it for Series 8 of Doctor Who on 8/23, anyway. 
Still think the BBC should just give us unedited Top Gear (make it last 90 minutes with commercials if commercial money is a concern) and Dr. Who on the same day as broadcast in the UK. At least Top Gear is available on Top Gear USA more shortly after BBC air date, though still heavily edited.

I think the final season is just around the corner. The seasons are getting shorter and shorter and Jeremy is getting too old to do episodes like Burma.
sigh, i will be sad when that day comes. TG will not be the same without him.

The episodes on Netflix...are they unedited? (Honest question - I've never watched an episode on Netflix.)

Doesn't look like season 22 will start until the end of the year or early next year with a Christmas special which they are now filming in Patagonia/Argentina/Chile.

Going to be a loooong wait for season 22.

story
Jeremy Clarkson ordered not to cause diplomatic row during Top Gear road trip to Argentina
BBC bosses have ordered the presenter to be on his best behaviour after allowing the show to film its Christmas special in Patagonia this week
Jeremy Clarkson has been ordered not to cause a diplomatic row during a Top Gear road trip to Argentina.
BBC bosses gave the presenter, 54, the ultimatum after allowing the show to film its Christmas special in Patagonia this week.
Clarkson’s past outbursts include calling a Burmese man a ‘slope’ – and Argentine relations have been poor since the Falklands war.
Beeb bosses felt the presence of un-PC motormouth Clarkson - and his sidekicks, Richard Hammond, 44, and James May, 51 - would spark a diplomatic incident.
One senior BBC insider claimed the green light for the Christmas special had been received “right on the deadline” for filming to be completed in time.
And they revealed: “There was real panic when bosses learned that Top Gear was going to Argentina of all places.
“Clarkson and his crew have a record of upsetting foreigners – from Mexicans, the French and Asian – the last thing the BBC needed was a big incident with Argentina.
“Jeremy has been warned to be on his very best behaviour and to do nothing that would upset his hosts.
"He has promised to do so.”

That's great to hear from the man himself. As much as I like the other 2 (& with May as my favorite host), Clarkson is undeniably, the cornerstone of the series.
