Daily Show clips online do maintain continuity, full show

I've been watching the Daily Show online for months, as I refuse to pay for cable. As long as you wait until later in the day, the clips from the previous night are played in order and leave out nothing. You may have a brief lag as your browser buffers the next clip, or a quick 30-second commercial interrupting your continuity, but that's better than a string of ads.

There is a program called TED or Torrent Episode downloader that will automatically load your favorite shows to your bit torrent client.
