Yo hombre, this should work if you cant torrent. Sign up in this site/forum, quick enough, check these direct download links, its not easy, and lots of pages to go through, but direct download should work for you, no?

This. I'm with the "best show ever" crowd, but I've never really gotten into its realistic competitors: The Sopranos, The West Wing, and Seinfeld. The Simpsons sometimes gets mentioned too, but Groening has pissed on his own legacy by flogging the dead cash cow.
That sums it up very well. The show has the finest characterisation I've ever seen. Each season has the depth of plot I'd expect from a novel rather than TV or film. The pacing is unique. There are no gimmicks, only Omar seems a nod to the audience, and he's based on a couple of real people.

I watched Season 1. It's quite good, really.
I've seen many similarities with The Wire (the ambitious captain, the lack of police resources, the corrupt chiefs, the bastard bad cop, ...) but it only deals with the cops' side. You only see the relationships between the gangs through the effect it has on cops (Los Mags, the Toros, Rondell), same for the drug addicts (the hooker, forgot her name).
It's still a very neat show but The Wire has a more complete look of things, from every possible angle.
Also, The Wire is more focused on a long and difficult investigation whereas The Shield is more about everyday police work, with a couple of investigations here and there, but they're solved quite quickly in comparison.
That said, I haven't started Season 2 yet, so it might get (even) better soon.

***SPOILER ALERT!!!!!!***
Fuck, right you are Ze, that was brutal. My apologies, hopefully nobody read too much. You should have cut that shit right out of my post buddy - I wasn't thinking.
Is that because of that full frontal shot? Just kidding... Omar is definitely badass, I agree. I think Bubbles might have been the character that I was cheering for the most.
My favorite TV series, period.
Saw Lieutenant Daniels cruising around downtown Vancouver a couple weeks ago...
