Hi all!

For most of tv lovers, The Wire is the best TV show ever. After watching it, it became my best TV show too.
The first time I saw it, it was a crappy dvd/tv rip (it was the best quality you could find out there at the time). The Wire is already a bit hard to watch (4/3, not a lot of post-prod/special effects...), and it appears that the quality of popular torrents of The Wire is still the same :(

So here's the best quality you can find of the TV show The Wire. The only way to get a better quality is to go and buy the DVD/CDs...

In this pack you'll find the TV shows (5 seasons), the sequel (3 mini-episodes) and the extras. All the shows contains english subtitles and audio commentary. Everything is encoded with x264 codec.

There is also a 720p version of the first episode. There will be no other episode in 720p. You can read more about it here  http://magazine.creativecow.net/article/inside-hbos-the-wire

The pack contains also the OST. There is a 320kbps MP3 and a FLAC version. Not the crappy one you can find out there.

Here the screenshots for the show:

Please help us seed (even just an episode or the OST) and make it popular for anyone who search The Wire find the good quality rips. 


NB: Torrent is server seeded for a few months (1GB/s)

File list not available.

mah nigga
The Wire lovers,
Y U No seed anymore
thx, bro
So glad this torrent exists, but less than 10kb/s is a depressing download rate for such a large file. I've been at it for a solid week and am sad there are so few active seeders.
I often see people having slow download speeds on torrents that I'm downloading at full speed. Are you guys MAXING your upload speed? That's not good for some connections, you're going to hurt your download speed if all your bandwidth is going to upload. Find out what your max upload speed is and cut it down some.

Mine maxes at about 70kb/sec upload, which is pretty fucking terrible. I drop it to 30k/sec while i'm downloading and make up for it by seeding after I finish downloading. I just loaded this torrent, picked a single season to download and it maxes download after 30 seconds. Try it out.

PS: I plan to download all the seasons and seed proportionately. I'm just low on HD space, don't chop my head off :O
Really wanna watch this show finally :-)

Some more seeding would be much appreciated!
I downloaded this is 10 hours, thank you so much for uploading this torrent. Cheers!
@TobyWong, good advice my man, good advice.
"evilg0d at 2012-10-03 12:07 CET: It's very rare for me to bitch about anything from here but you have got to be kidding. Five seasons of TV, Sixty episodes, not a single one titled. Really?"

Wow, if this is the biggest thing he has to worry about in his life, I would trade places with him in a heartbeat...

For those that care to know, the video quality is very good considering the source (DVD). Additionally, you can use MKVMerge to remove any part of the .mkv file you do not want or need.

Excellent work uploader. Thank you.

you managed to fuck up the aspect ratio
it should be 4:3

look at this: http://imgur.com/a/bWUcf#0

that pic has 712x478 dimensions
712 divided by 478 is 1.489
4 divided by 3 is 1.33
