Not particularly. The way I see it, the chance of me getting hit by another car and dying during my 25-minute daily commute to work is higher.

However, if that's your fear, you can always use direct download, which also has the nice advantage of being sequential, so you can watch the episode as it downloads (basically streaming). In fact, if your connection is fast enough, you can stream 720p TV show episodes.

Try it for yourself. Go to http://www.filecrop.com/, disable the Rapidshare and Hotfile checkboxes (leaving just Megaupload), then search for any TV show, adding the usual Scene-style season/episode indicator (e.g., S01E01). If you want HD, add "720p". You can find a direct download link that will max out your connection for pretty much any show.
