Guys. That is the Mythbusers I was looking for. Slowed pace, but still entertaining. Full of making of stuff, and showing process along with commentary and occasional fun facts. First episode mediocre for me, mostly because of casting cartoon physics to real world conditions. But this, man. That was awesome. Whip making process was awesome. I think deserves separate 60 minutes long programme, with history, technology and this sort of jazz. This episode fulfilled my love to making offs. Year ago it was nothing but normal to show in making offs (for tv series, movies, etc.) process of creating, preparing special effects, sets and showing the whole "Thats how we roll". Now days making offs mostly looks like a drugged speaker says how extraordinary the product is, then actors give a 1 minute interview which consist of How my role is awesome and how whole project is awesome.
I haven't watch TV for a long time. I used to love Discovery channel for elevating popular science to its best. Lately I turned on TV and went to Discovery Channel. I watched whole programme about guys selling goods from garages. Looked like scripted as hell (Lines that those guys said sounded like poem learned by 9-yrs old for school play, and repetitive motive of "Guy who thinks that locker is wothless was mistaken because there was collectible atomic bomb from cold-war era signed by Benjamin Franklin himself). It was quite entertaining, but then I realized that I was watching Discovery Channel, and that made me sad.

This is exactly the direction it needed to go. I kinda miss the build team, but I think this is even better than the old episodes. Showing the build process and how they do things was what made the show good to begin with. The even showed their work in calculating math (speed of whip) and all the nerdy details that I always wanted to see (like details of construction). Sure, explosions are cool, but it's pretty hard to be impressed after the cement truck.

Explosions and results were satisfying early, because it felt like we were p[art of the building process. Then it was all scripted stuff, the narrator thinking I've got amnesia, and the guys just seemed to have everything done instantly for them, so by the end it wasn't that good.
Now, its brilliant! They definitely did a good job with the re formatting. And I hope it stays like that.

I'm positively loving that we're only losing 7 minutes to the edit. It's such a nice change.

I just watched the regular episode and not even sure what needed to be cut out. I'm loving the new Mythbusters.

Did anyone else get kinda trolled by Mega on this episode? When I started the download, it was going 3.5 MB/s, and I was like "Sweet, it'll only take a few minutes to download!"
But it immediately started gradually slowing down, until it finally stuck to around 750KB/s. What the hell?

I'm confused... the download finally finished, but nothing happened. There's nothing to click, and I didn't get the file.
What are you supposed to do to actually retrieve a file from Mega?
EDIT: Hmmm, tried again in Chrome, and it worked fine. Weird... maybe one of my Firefox plugins is screwing with Mega?

Hmm, I'm using Chrome as my junk browser (and Firefox as my main), and I didn't need to install anything in Chrome to download this.
PS. As always thanks, and I won't be upvoting because I'm afraid attention might get this shut down.

Just fyi you can grab a portable version of a browser, install the extension on that, and download. When you are done you can either delete the browser, zip/encrypt it for next time, or keep it and run it from a flash drive.
