Need some help on how to download all these series? Then you came to the right place!
As you will see, every episode of a series consists of a few different parts. These are called split archives and they are usually about 100MB large. Most file hosts only accept files up to 100MB so that is why large media files such as episodes of TV series are split up into these archives.
If you want a fully-functioning episode you need all files of that specific episode. In general these are between 3 and 7 files.
When you have all the archive files of a single episode in one directory you simply unpack them. The entire episode is then 'rebuilt' out of the different split archives.
What software do you need to accomplish this? Usually the archives are in .rar format. Often your computer will have a piece of software pre-installed to unpack these .rar files. If not, I can highly recommend the excellent freeware 7-Zip.
How to start?
1.Click on the TV series you want
2.Look at the available seasons and episodes.
3.Click on a link. It will open an intermission screen. Wait for a few seconds or click Continue in the center.
4.You get to the download page.
How to download?
None of the files are hosted by TV-Mafia so you are always redirected to an external file host. This is often rapidshare but there are hundreds of others. All work more or less in the same way.
They offer a free, basic download service and a premium/upgraded account for which you have to pay a subscription fee.
1.Using the basic/free service:
*Click the download button/free download/basic or whatever the specific file host calls it.
*Wait for a short time. The file host reserves a download ticket for you. This process takes about a minute or less.
*Once the counter reaches zero you will have to access the code they give you. This is so the file host knows you are a human being and not an automated script ripping off their files.
*The download starts.
The downside of this basic, free service is that you will have to wait a time before you can download another part of the episode. This waiting time depends on the specific host.
Upgrading to a paid subscription removes this waiting. You can also have multiple downloads at the same time and you don't have to wait for the download to start. It's worth considering if you plan on downloading many files!

Hot to get full links? and Logout
I have RS Premium Account and love to add links to RS Manager for download. But here I found many links are showing "..." in the end. I have to copy link location and paste them into RS manager for download one by one. It is very tedious job as if I want to download all EP's of some SP and that SP have around 50 links saying "..." I have to do it 50 times :(
Can someone please tell me how to get ride of it so that I can just copy and paste links without any problem.
Also, I can see Login link but where is Logout?
Thank you in Advance.

How to upload
Hi. I have just joined this wonderful community and I'd like to contribute to it. So I'm just wondering... How do I split some of the shows that I've got into several .rar files? I don't think I see a guide that walks people through that process. Keep in mind that I'm currently using a Mac. Thanks.
WRONG LINKS - Doctor Who (1963)
The files for the 1963 Doctor Who series are labelled wrong within "The Daleks" episodes. What's labelled as episode 1 is ep2 and what's labelled as ep2 is ep4. The episode labelled as ep3 is also ep2 (titled "The Survivors). So it seems like there have been some double ups. I'm downloading "Episode 5" right now, but it's gonna be a bit of a lucky dip. I'd appreciate it if anyone could clear this up so no one downloads multiple copies of some episodes, and misses out on others. Thanks
Doctor Who 1963
I've downloaded the first two episodes of the 1963 Doctor Who, but there is no sound when I try to play it in Windows Media Player. I'm guessing I'm missing a codec or something, but I don't know much more than that. This is the only site I've found with the Doctor Who series starring William Hartnell, and I was really looking forward to seeing it.
