I'm not sure if it is "legal" but my personal opinion is if it is broadcast for free over-the-air or available for free on the internet I see no problem d/l'ing it.
So, pretty much any network show (and some from the cable networks) is easily downloadable using a torrent client. I use a combination of uTorrents auto-rss downloader and a feed from showrss.karmorra.info. I have the d/l's put into an external "medialibrary" hard drive I have. That drive is shared out with pyTivo so I can watch the shows with my TiVo.
So, bottom line, I do very little streaming over the net. Even though I have a 25/25 internet connection and I could. Although, I can never stream YouTube stuff at 720p... I'm sure that's a youtube issue and not my personal bandwidth.
