If you love the game of golf and have never heard of "The Big Break" you need to check this show out on The Golf Channel. There are already a ton of seasons done - at least 10 by now probably.
All the episodes are available to stream online on The Golf Channel website. The only problem is sometimes the buffering/streaming can be slow. I once watched a 44 minute episode over the course of 2 hours! It's no fun watching a TV series lead up to a really intense point only to have it stop and play again in 10 minute breaks. In fact it's really frustrating. Other times you just don't have access to internet, and wish you could sneak in an episode into your day.
For the longest time I was researching for a way to download these videos off of The Golf Channel site. And let me tell you, those guys over at The Golf Channel really put in a lot of work to make sure it's next to impossible to do it! I tried all the hacks, and all the tips and tricks - nothing. I've downloaded all the free video downloader softwares out there (YouTube Downloader, VLC, etc.) and nothing worked. I also looked at all possible torrent sites for download links to no avail. It's a great TV series and I found at least a couple of other people looking for the same torrents but it seems no one has really taken the time to download and seed these videos.
And then one day, almost by accident, I figured it out. I was finally able to download an episode of The Big Break Florida. I thought it was a fluke! I tried another episode and the trick worked again! It's a tedious process but I love watching the TV series so much I kept doing it until I was able to download the entire season of The Big Break Florida. Unfortunately, it does not appear to work with ALL The Big Break seasons but it does work on the newer ones. I am currently downloading the current season of The Big Break (Myrtle Beach). Just in case The Golf Channel patrols blog posts like this I will NOT be sharing the trick on how to download episodes. I mean c'mon, The Golf Channel, this is TOOO GOOD a show to make it so hard for people to watch! I even tried ordering DVD sets of this series on Amazon but it was all out of stock.
Anyway, if anybody out there would like to watch The Big Break Florida or The Big Break Myrtle Beach, let me know.
Cheers!
