Thanks! I tried to use BitTorrent. I put in a posting about what happened when I did...

I then tried to use BitTorrent, but I keep getting an error that reads "Problem getting response info - [Errno ftp error] (60, 'Operation timed out')
I also checked out the versaphile (hello cowgirl) site. It didn't let me download - it only let me view. I really want to download the file because I want to bring it home so my husband can see it too.

All you need to do is Right-Click on the Trash link and choose Save Target As. Then you can save it to your hard drive and take it home.

Actually - never mind. It works on the computer I am using now (as opposed to the 2 I tried it on yesterday. Must be that Classic MacOS is better than X for some things, as in this case for example...)
Thanks!

If you're using OS-X, open the terminal application and type:
curl -o ~/Desktop/Trash.avi http://www.loony-archivist.com/temp/firefly/trash2/trash.avi.
Or whatever URL you want.
Option-clicking in Safari or Camino, if you use those browsers, will also directly download the link.
Enjoy. My wife and I watched it last night. Although we were amused by the AOL session going on the in the background and wanted to recapture and encode it ourselves, it was a heck of a story. Posthumous Firefly. Yay!

Well, you can download it with your browser (just go to http://www.loony-archivist.com/firefly/trash.htm and right-click/hold-click on the link and choose "Save As") and then all you need to view it is Quicktime. At least, on my iMac, I played ti just fine with the latest version of Quicktime.

Thanks to everyone! I have decided to just use a mac running OS9 and control click to save the file. Thanks!
p.s. to non mac users: Most mac users don't have a right-click button. For us a right-click is VERY similar to a control click.
Thanks again everyone! By the way - my husband told me he saw a UPS ad where a woman was holding a box that said "Firefly" right on it in the ad (something about a script?) He is hoping that means that UPS will be a willing Firefly sponsor. I'm glad all of these episodes are available but like most (if not all) of you - I want MORE!!!!!!
p.s. How do you choose an image to show up with your posts?

Finally, after two days of trying to figuire out how, I just downloaded 228 MG of great big smile on my face !
Many, many thanks Succatash, you gave me the clue, except that us Mac X users should "Option" click on the Trash link, once I did it immediately started downloading to my desktop !
many thanks again I'm so excited to finally see more Firefly !

I had no idea the option key did that! Thank you VERY much! Now I'm off to get the rest of them...
