Interesting - didn't know about that series.

For naughty people who know how to use BitTorrent - http://thepiratebay.org/search/gold%20rush%20alaska/0/99/200

And for those who don't... careful - it'll suck up your internet usage bandwidth! But you shouldn't be using this stuff anyway as the law has been changed and I think you can get in to trouble after Sept?

befor using pirate bay for downloads make sure your antivirus is up to date very important. and once you have downloaded to utorrent delete it cause it is a sharing service so you download off some one then people can download off you if you dont delete it and people downloading off you also use's your internet cap

Yes, definitely need to be careful when using file sharing. Too easy to download nasties, but limit your risk if you stick to audio and video. Give software / exe's a wide berth!!!

Just watched the first episode-typical American stuff.Group hugs when somebody opens a tin of beans and the editing makes out they are all in constant fear of their lives from mossie bites or a bend in a gravel road.
May get more interesting when they actually get down to the business of mining...

i couldn't have put it better myself. i thought it might be at least semi documentary, but a voice-over, and editing to hell, turns it into another
"reality" show. i'll wait to see what the gold mining is like before i condemn it totally though.
