It's up to you. Brint is uploading from the Philippines (I presume)
and Youtube is in the States, so for me in Taiwan, bittorrent is much,
much faster than Youtube when it comes to downloading TARA episodes.
Of course, I only have to download an episode if I missed watching it
on AXN (which I get by satellite from the Philippines).
