Chinese listening practice

"So I suggest you watch some Chinese TV program, they can improve your

Chinese into a new step. I believe you can master Chinese very well"

I've been wanting to do something like this for some time now but

access to Mandarin language source material is limited in Canada. I

can watch the mandarin language news once a day but the vocabulary is

to complex for my level, I need more day-to-day conversation. Other

than that there are some movies in local rental joints that are good

choices but I've seen them all and renting them over and over doesn't

appeal to me.

So I have an idea, for learners of chinese, and if need be I would be

willing to return the favour. If it's successful it could help a lot

of learners. It requires some internet skills. I'm sure anybody

reading this knows or has heard of bittorrent!!! I have tried hard to

find Mandarin television or movies to download but have been

unsuccessful because of the language barrier. I'm sure this technology

has been embraced in China as it has everywhere, so I'm sure the

source I'm looking for is around, I just need help to find it.

SO here's what I'm asking,

if you are Chinese and are willing to help, find a torrent file that

links to a movie or television program that you think would make good

listening practice for me, and post it here. Or a link to a website

where I can download the torrent file myself.

I will in turn make a list and post it everywhere I can, and if I get

enough links, maybe a yahoo group or something, and in return, if you

like I will suggest a link that would be good english listening

practice. I really hope you or anybody reading this who has an

interest would help.
