A weekly documentary in which two Hollywood special effects experts attempt to debunk urban legends by directly testing them.

This is the "original" series with Adam and Jamie. Hopefully the next era which begins on November 15, 2017 will be good as well.

EDIT: ADDITIONAL HELP:
Archive incomplete or some links are missing when you try to download, make sure you have all 503 links in your linkgrabber, then Move to Downloadlist anyway after checking same choice for all affected archives. This will download all the links.the archive is incomplete, ignore and manually extract by unzipping the first part file, which ends in .zip.001.Holy shit man u scare my sleep cycle! First how it's made and now this? hits upvote so hard and even x265 holy fucking shit man THANK YOU SO MUCH! I hope I can leech everything before it is down or so! cheers mate!
Thank you so much for this. Hate to be a bother but you seem like the guy to ask; Got a copy of Junkyard Wars? Been looking for a long time only to find a few episodes here and there...

Oh god Unpaq, you're killing my home network!
Seriously though, thanks for the awesome upload, glad I won't need to do a x265 encode on this one either!

This is incredible! Thank you so much.
Bonus points for formatting the filenames like you did. I typically have to run everything I download through Filebot to get it uniform with the rest of my library, but you've done it perfectly.

Is there a 264 source for these?
x265 isn't horrific to run, plus it takes up less space. If you have a PC that can watch 1080p YouTube, you should be fine
[-] SwordCutlass | 2 points
It's an order of magnitude harder in cpu power to transcode or play. Couple that with most devices that can't even play it at all or smoothly.
My current machine for watching x.265 content in bed is a netbook from 2013 and it runs smoothly. Download an episode or two, let it play back on your machine and you should have your verdict then.

I'm only working with core2duo(lol 1080p YouTube on this)/roku3/xbox360 and xbox one. And a core2quad Plex server that can barely handle 1 HQ h264 transcode. Would probably be perfectly fine on my phone though.
the Xbox One Plex app can play x.265 hit or miss, but it should be fine with this. Just put your media on a USB flash drive and you're off to the races
[-] Blue-Thunder | 1 points
Xbox one will play it natively.

Kinda, if you have DTS audio or subtitles, ect it will have to transcode. Haven't tried it a whole lot

Couple that with most devices that can't even play it at all or smoothly.
Which devices? It transcodes fine for Plex on a computer that I've got that's built with 6-8 year old parts. I can't imagine what would choke on it.
Only program I've seen with remotely any issues were some random nightlies on Kodi, but that was likely a software issue rather than a hardware issue.
If you've got a more powerful computer, you can always run a Plex server and have your less powerful computers and devices stream from Plex. Considering everything you're liable to pick up from here on out will be able to handle 265, it isn't an awful temporary solution.

There's plenty, depends what quality. I checked, you can get the full series mostly in AMZN 1080p but it weighs in at 780.39GiB. If you don't go in super-heavy (personally for TV archival if the series is long-running I tend to stay at 720p) it's quite reasonable to get it all at around 293GiB, and it's simply going to look better than the x265.
ive been surprised, it is almost about 65% ratio ie 100gb x264 should be around 60gb x265 and it will look about the same, especially depending on the encoder
[-] Shebang-HDS-UGC | 1 points
Well this is like 20% of the size.
i was just letting you know like for a single file, i didnt download this but are the 1080p x265 episodes in this upload AMZN rips? if not thats a huge part to it as the AMZN rips are high bit rate, theres alot of things that go into size lol -(i was just trying to give u what i found, not argue)

Can anyone tell me if the episode order matches the TVDB? They have changed the season order by year and screw up how I had them labeled. It is so frustrating.
EDIT: Answered my own question, looks like this release is by year. It appears to match theTVDB.com. Great upload OP!
Ooooohhhh very nice! Now I gotta blame you for screwing up my sleep schedule! Also, not so much related but my all time favourite episodes are the MacGyver specials and the Reddit specials.
Buster rules!

Thank you! This is amazing! I've had a lot of these shows in various qualities all over the place.
[-] Dragonzebra | 2 points
Thanks so much for this! I watched the 2 seasons they had on netflix a while back. Now I can finally watch the rest of this awesome show.
And to anyone who likes MythBusters you should check out a show called 'White Rabbit Project'. There is only one season but it's hosted by Tory, Kari and Grant, it's pretty much MythBusters but no Adam and Jamie sadly.

lovely, how about zip it by year? not allpeople have 200GB to spare. how will i found out how many volumes i have to download for 2003 and 2004? at least you thought so far to split it. ohh wait zippy forced you to do so.
thanks for the upload.
[-] halolordkiller3 | 1 points
any chance zippyshare is going back up?
One of the episodes is incomplete 2014x03 cuts off after 33:24
Love the show, thanks for uploading it
Amazing upload. I just got done watching all of Smyths and this was exactly what I was looking for to archive for future generations. Thank you so much!
//edit: forgot to actually say thank you
[-] [deleted] | -10 points
13 seasons at 99 gb? yup thats shit quality for you
are you just stupid or a troll? the first episodes are more than watchable for 2003 SD recordings in x265 also goin from 2007 it is 720p more than enough for that show, if you don't like it than don't load them and go pay for the bluerays... and belive me there are worse copys out there in x264 this would be so much more HDD space... so stfu if you don't know what you are talking about

I have a 50TB server, hardly worried about using up space
