Okay--I'm working on downloading the eps and then re-uploading them to my site. However, it looks like it may take a day or so (8 hours to download each 800meg file, even on my work's t1 line. "Whoa," she says, using her best Neo voice). But as soon as I get them uploaded, I'll let you guys know!

Bit Torrent is a program that makes it easier to distribute files on the Internet by allowing those who have already downloaded a file to help by automatically sending the file (or at least a part of it) to those who are still trying to download it. A little bit like those peer-to-peer file swapping applications like Naptster/Morpheus/Kazaa. You can download it here for Windows:

For the Bit Torrent program, you can just right click on the link I gave and select 'save as...' and then double-click on the file after it downloads to install the program. However, you have to wait until PhysicsChick uploads the new files tonight before you can get the new episodes (but you can always test it by downloading Trash from the link PhysicsChick provided, if you don't already have it)

You'll really see it at it's most powerful once downloading hits it's highest rate. I've had BitTorrent downloads come in at over 300 k/s... you almost never see that on Kazaa.

A wubba? Bahha mena weh. Weda sopa culu!!!

That was pretty much my first reaction to reading TRS's post. Just was not expecting to see that the remaining unaired eps were available. Holy Crap!!! We needs it...it's our precious!!! Damn the fact that I have to go to work in an hour. Means I won't get to start downloading until sometime tomorrow. Tomorrow's gonna be a damn good day though. Hopefully two new eps of Firefly and season four of Buffy the Vampire Slayer on DVD. Woo-Hoo!!

Edit: Aw hell, in all my blabbery babbling I forgot to give a huge thanks to TSR!!! *Kneels at feet* What is thy bidding my master? (Yeah, I'm a geek, sue me)

I second the request for another DVD, TRS80. I love the first set I got from you - I have at least one in the DVD player at all times. Work great for my missionary work in spreading the "Firefly" gospel.

"Appears they've canceled the show and we're still here. What does that make us?"
"Big damn junkies, Sir!"
"Ain't we just."
