Description

Every episode of this series allowed the MPD to download and resulted in around a 150mb file as this is a 90s show that was not HD to the best of my research tells me.

So the fact that this episode randomly downloads almost a 1GB file is unknown. The resulting file does play and look right, but specs wise is not HD but 640x480 just like it's sister files.
