For them that need it, I have a FTP site up with all of the aired eps on it, as well as "Trash". I'm in the process of downloading "The Message" but it's a few hours off still.

The site is http://CCTalbert.homeip.net I'm limiting it to 5 clients; I'd do more but my upstream speed is somewhat weak.

IS there anybody out there that I can download "Heart of Gold" from? My server is a plain-vanilla NT box, no Kazza or Bittorrent etc., just FTP or HTTP. (I've found that the less software you load on an NT box the better it works. If you graph it you find that with 0 software it approaches 100% reliable! Too bad that also makes it 100% useless..)

Yeah!!! I am now getting THe Message. I love you people. HMMM, does that make me sound like a stalker? Well, at least in thought.

And because I'm feeling particularly violent towards FOX today:

Methos: I managed to liberate that from the lost and found.
Duncan: There's blood on it.
Methos: I didn't say it was easy.

AERUNDEL:
HoG works perfectly fine in Winamp 2.91 ( http://classic.winamp.com/) as well as Windows Media Player(6.4 or newer).

Winamp appears to have the required codecs built in, so it may be your best bet.

Windows media automatically downloads the codecs you need (it gives an error message after the download, but the file plays just fine...).

I just tried winamp 2.91, and the picture's terrible. It's got green interlacing over it all, with only half the picture showing. And that half is TILED across the whole window. Also, Mal sounds like he's on Helium.

...I'm gonna try it on a different computer, but I'm not expecting much now

Update:

I tried it on another comp, and it's fine. But as I look at it, I notice the picture is smaller than I thought it would be. So the big green crap on MY computer wasn't actually covering anything, it was just being ugly Funny thing is, I come back to my comp, play the file, and the green stuff has shrunk, thereby showing it wasn't hiding anything in the first place. Kinda creepy, but I have my eps now, so I don't care. Thanks for the advice guys. Off to watch some Firefly!

Alright, ditched work to get the BitTorrent up. I hate my job anyways, this was as good an excuse as any.

The torrent is at http://grove.susurrous.net/trash.html, and the tracker is at http://grove.susurrous.net:6669/

Someone let me know if it works?

You guys are all the greatest . . .
Honestly - tears in my eyes.

I love this show so much . . . and clearly you all do just as much. Only with the most dedicated fanbase in the history of television shows could something like this have happened. A show that was cancelled still completely watchable because of the dedication of those it has infused with it's love.

I love everyone who's a fan of the show, Whedon and his team, and the crew of the Serenity . . . just as real to me, amazingly, as all of the previous.

Let me first say that this is completely awesome that we are getting to see these episodes ahead of schedule (not sure which schedule that is, but hey). Unfortunately, my problem is that I downloaded HoG usin' bittorrent and it went smooth as..well I've seen nothin smoother. But the audio track doesn't work! This would be expected of real player or any other program thats not up to playin MPEG2 files, but the audio doesn't even come through on the DIVX codec. Yes, my speakers are on. Yes, they are turned up. Just wondering if anyone else is having this problem or if there is yet another alternate download site. Thanks everyone, little bummed to be able to see all this greatness right before me but have to "subtitle" it by reading the script!
