So how does simply suggesting bittorrent help answer the question without telling us how to find the content?

I can understand the reluctance in advertising the content providers because it's probably part of the underground.

I am able to get U.S. TV shows within 12 hours of airing via torrents (uTorrent). A one-hour TV show (43 minutes) is 350 mb. I use TorrentHarvester to find content although for current TV shows any torrent site, like btjunkie, is fine. I got Heroes S01E12 and Studio 60 S01E12 quite quickly this week.
