WARNING: last two episodes are mixed up. S03E12 - exit strategy should be S03E13 Development arrested, and vice versa.
Haven't checked them all, but preliminarily those appear to be the only two mixed up. Pretty important ones to get mixed up, though!
Other than that:
video quality: 10
audio quality: 10
this looks to be the best set of rips out there, from what I can see.
Inclusion of commentary is a really nice touch!

scottchicken (2008-05-28)

You're right, I'll wear that. My bad! I don't know how that got missed, I was sure I had checked each and every episode. They must be laid out on the DVDs oddly as I did them in the exact order they appeared on the DVDs.
So rename swap the names of s03e12 and s03e13. Don't watch s03e12 first if you haven't seen this before.
For those that download from public trackers and don't even look at the torrent details... tough luck to you I guess.

Ghettogreen (2008-06-04)

The video is playing about 1.5 times faster than it should be and the voices are all high...
I just spent 3 days downloading this, only to find that you fucked the whole thing up when you ripped the DVD.
Thanks a lot

SpacedOut83 (2008-06-07)

I'm having the same problem Ghettogreen. These rips play about 10%-15% too fast.
Anyone have any suggestions?

scottchicken (2008-06-07)

Ghettogreen: you're welcome. I'm glad it doesn't work for you, since you sound like a tool. Perhaps you should learn how to download just one file from a torrent to test it out. Or learn how to play video from a PAL 25FPS source. I don't care to help you at all. They all work for me juuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuust fine.

weeble200 (2008-06-11)

i love this show! but have never seen a full episode. it airs at inconvenient times in my area. thanks scottchicken. i hope you guys are still seeding.

weballergy (2008-06-25)

Hi scott, I'd really love to get this torrent but I'm a little concerned about the PAL-source / playback-speed comments. Any input on this before I commit to download 12Gb of date, please? ;-)
Thanks a lot beforehand.

scottchicken (2008-07-03)

weballergy: just download one episode, which is like 232Mb. Most torrent apps should be able to facilitate this. uTorrent and Azureus can do it.

howdyhowdy (2008-07-08)

Ok first off, thanks a lot for uploading this and seeding this. It's a great show and I don't know how I missed out on it when it was on TV.
Secondly, I'm confused as hell. My first question is, how do I get it to playback at 30fps, and secondly, how do I separate the commentary from the episode audio? Do I need to burn these to DVDs to do these things? If so, can I just use Nero? Sorry for all of the questions, this stuff is way over my head.

helloEMAHLEE (2008-07-12)

Hi, this is my first time playing around with torrents. I have utorrent but since I have never downloaded anything, I really don't know what to expect. I started downloading one episode of AD, and it seems to be taking a really long time. How long should it take to download just one? I'm on a cable modem with a pretty fast connection (at least I THOUGHT it was fast :P)

WuKillaBee (2008-07-14)

hey thanks for the upload. but can you please tell us how to make the voices not sound so high ?
nevermind the other guy if he insulted you.
thanks again

Title27GT (2008-08-13)

Hey, would some of you guys mind seeding a bit more? I've been averaging 15 kb/s since two days ago, and I don't have 7 days to waste downloading it. I'm doing it for a vacation and I leave in 4 days.

hbhzth (2008-08-16)

Vincento; download and use VLC player. It let's you choose between multiple sound-channels, if there are more than one included. Nice with movies that have encoded several language files, so you can choose your preference.

DP00 (2008-09-01)

im at episode 16 in season 1. and when you get that white screen with a little picture showing back, it was loads of stuff that i havent seen, and i have followed the episodes by number, and if i watch the "next on arrested development" its never what commes in the next episode. And no, this is not what you said in the top torrent info, this is missnameing the episodes.

scottchicken (2008-09-03)

Are you serious. I don't even know why I came back to check the comments. So many complaints about FREE PIE.
Anyway.

"On the next Arrested Development"
Almost every episode ends with an epilogue segment called "On the next Arrested Development," in which lingering stories are wrapped up or extended humorously. These segments portray events that do not usually appear in the subsequent episodes, but remain part of the show's canon. However, on some rare occasions (typically in the first half of a two-part episode), scenes from these portions are worked into the following episode; also, the segment occasionally shows a significant plot twist (e.g. Maggie Lizer's deception, Buster's accident,[6] Steve Holt's discovery[7]). The second episode of season three reversed this by having "Previously on..." featuring the resolution of the cliffhanger and nearly an entire episode of plot changes within thirty seconds. The epilogue sometimes shows a several-second continuation of the previous scene, in comically direct opposition to the name of the sequence.
The first and second season finales changed the segment to "On the next season of Arrested Development?" and in the third season finale (which was also the series finale), it became "On the epilogue?".

happybaboon (2008-09-17)

Excellent quality! Thanks for the fun show!
I only wish you uploaded the subtitles too... sometimes it is hard to get everything they say when you're not a native speaker.
Do you think it would be possible to rip the subs from the dvd and upload them too? It would be greatly appreciated.

cjbreban (2008-09-18)

How is the quality? I have heard the audio is a little high (like the people are on helium), is this right? If it's not I'll download straight away and seed for a while.
Cheers,

BrokenAngel86d (2008-09-18)

We need seeders! Seeders that have it fully downloaded 100% Please! If i get this completed ill seed like no tomarow ;)

BrokenAngel86d (2008-09-18)

By the way thank you so much scottchicken for uploading this!! I missed so many episodes while it was on tv, so im very happy to have the chance to see what i missed :D And its true BUY THE DVD!! Lets get this show back!

nemozeen (2008-09-25)

Could someone please explain how to upload just one or a few files from this huge torrent.
I read in a previous comment this is possible.
I usually click on download this torrent but 12 GiB is just to big for me.thx

Thebatkat (2008-09-30)

Wow, thanks so much for this torrent! I can't wait to watch all the episodes! Here's the only problem I'm having and I am wondering if anyone can help...I hear the sound but am getting no picture. I'm new at this torrent thing and I am wondering what I did wrong :( HELP!

hans_amdersen (2008-10-02)

The helium effect DOES make this NOT worth downloading save for maybe the extended pilot and commentary eps. otherwise I've found no way of setting VLC or MPC to correct the playback speed issue. The high pitch of the voices DOES affect the timing of the comedy. Go for the other download.

cjbreban (2008-10-04)

Strange, I downloaded it and haven't noticed any sound issues. Everything is fine for me.

bishop311 (2008-10-05)

All: Can someone please, please, pretty please seed this torrent? I've been downloading it for ages and only have managed to snag 12 episodes so far. The last week has been a no-go due to a distinct lack of seeders.
Thanks, and a BIG THANKS to scottchicken for ripping, encoding and uploading these beauties!!

marisa88 (2008-10-12)

wow I really wish I could download this but I really need a file type that would play on my Zune. Thanks for posting this anyways. Definitely an AMAZING show.

EIVAX (2008-11-20)

Hi, thanks for the complete seasons of this GREAT show. I almost finish downloading it. Can you upload some subtitles??? I have been looking for them for a week with no luck. Please upload the spanish subtitles =) Thanks!

themixingbowl (2008-11-20)

really too bad they couldn't finish the story. don't know how you could cancel such a great show, they must have had short funds. some really great actors in this.

alexbw72 (2008-11-25)

First of all for anyone not using VLC exclusively I have to ask the question, WHY?
The reason I say that is I have downloaded this torrent and I can assure you it runs perfectly with VLC.
One more thing, please buy these DVDs I am only downloading these for convenience so I do not have to always carry the DVDs with me. Please support this show, one of the best.

softlens (2008-11-27)

AWESOME! Thanks so much for the commentary.

tubazen (2008-12-03)

marisa, download xilisoft converter, its on tpb. it has a zune format.

Shimbeckler (2008-12-07)

@scottchicken (or anyone that has solved this)
I have played the files using VLC and WMP, but it is still sped up a bit. How do I get files to play at normal, dvd speed?
Thanks in advance.

GeneralZhukov (2008-12-22)

Thanks alot, and keep seeding please I know I will.
Love this show!

zaron5551 (2009-01-11)

thanks scottchicken; i'm not a noob idiot so this is great for me

cfmdx (2009-02-16)

theres gonna be a film

sunshinestate (2009-04-02)

how come the episodes with a commentary track aren't significantly larger? are they lower quality video/audio?

AngelFreak (2009-06-05)

Thank you, good quality, great TV series.

GCX (2009-06-07)

DO NOT DOWNLOAD THIS, THE AUDIO IS SPED UP, AND SCREWED UP. JUST A WARNING.

Gonzorelli (2009-06-08)

seed plz

linc99 (2009-06-15)

I'm not a noob (doing torrents for like 3 years), but I did learn something new about alternative audio tracks. I took the advice from an earlier comment and downloaded VLC Player.
And YES, you can easily switch between audio tracks using the top menue.
Also, if someone has the means to do it, please purchase these DVDs, most TV is so horrible, and shows like this are so good.
BTW, recommendation: Picket Fences (TV Show)

thenum555 (2009-06-15)

Sorry for all the imbeciles who cannot begin to fathom the simplest of technological acts. Wonderful torrent, wonderful show. Thanks for the upload - although it's gone, support the show. Buy the DVD's if you can afford it.

tpb_mvp (2009-06-15)

thanks scottchicken.
i just wish people wouldn't leech 'cause it's a really big torrent and it becomes much more difficult for those with slower connections to complete the download. :( maybe tpb should enforce dwnld:upload ratios!

tobias2323 (2009-06-25)

lol at all the idots that think this doesn't play fine. works perfect with vlc and the commentary will only be playing if you enable track 2 in the audio tab. fucking morons. thnx for this ul.

Jack_Raiden (2009-06-30)

Thank You: scottchicken, seeders

Jack_Raiden (2009-07-01)

One of the most perfect releases on TPB. Complete. As described. The finest quality. Thanks again.

tpb_mvp (2009-07-05)

stuck @ 85%

tpb_mvp (2009-07-14)

give it a final push n00bs!! i'm stuck @ 99.7% !!! frustrating..

shaden666 (2009-08-03)

this show will only return as the movie in 2010.wish it was back on tv though.damn americans.

joakimlarsson1 (2009-08-19)

thanks for the UL, but please seed!

optrirominiluikus (2009-09-23)

thanks for the up. just a reminder that the two final episodes come in the wrong order.

Dodgers89 (2009-09-26)

Please seed for some reason I cant even pick up a single seed on this I'd really rather not download 12gb at 2kbps

Cheeko454 (2009-12-03)

First, thanks for this torrent, I'd love to have these on my pc as well as the box set I have. This torrent has a lot of padding files. I'm using bittorrent, can I just untick the padding files? Will it effect the vid files?

 PeteSapai (2010-01-23)

Good rips! There's nothing wrong with the audio. If you're having audio problems, just uninstall all codec (packs) crap and try MPC HC (or VLC, that will probably work too, though I prefer the first)
A: 9
V: 8
PS. scottchicken, maybe you could edit the description and warn about the wrong order of the last 2 eps...

wiseguyxp (2010-02-12)

To fix the audio issue, download avidemux and do the following:
Open the file with the high-pitched audio. It might ask you to unpack the bitstream; do so. After that, go to the Video menu at the top and select Frame Rate. Uncheck Custom Value and select FILM - 24 FPS and click OK. On the left under Audio, change Copy to AC3. Then, click Filters and change Frame Rate Change to PAL to FILM and click OK. Click save and save it somewhere as an AVI. It will take a little while to encode, but it should have the correct audio/video.

jackiegit (2010-02-19)
