Hi all,

Unfortunately I've unexpectedly had to stop offering the new ep files for now. I need to free up bandwidth for work related matters, and after that project is over I need to take the server down to swap out a failed drive in the disk array (it was on the verge of failing before all of this started, so it wasn't caused by Firefly! ) May be a couple days before I can offer it as a download source again.

Those people currently connected will be able to stay connected for the current session only. Once the file you're getting now is complete (or you timeout without getting the whole file), you'll be auto disconnected from the server.

I hope several people who did get the files already are sharing them!!

In case anyone is interested, there were 37GB worth of transfers off the server for the 3 eps.

I downloaded it from here:

Some take the high road. Some take the low road.
And some just go screaming down the highway, dropping flaming bits of wreckage.

many thanks LJC for trying to help me out, sorry to say it didn't work. The software wouldn't install, maybe because I'm on a Mac ?

Oh, the pain ! The Message sitting on my desktop, unable to play ! Anyone with a Mac who's been successful with suggestions on what to do ?

well, happily I'm able to answer my own question. Mac X users can go here http://www.apple.com/quicktime/buy/mpeg2playback.html to unfortunately, purchase, the component needed to play the video. It's $20. Painful, but worth every penny, The Message is playing now and it's gorgeous in Quicktime. There might be a free way to do this but I couldn't wait, two days of it sitting on my desktop was too much. Thanks again LJC for making the download available !

The VLC player, which you can find by searching Versiontracker.com, is free and also manages to play MPEG2 files just fine.

How do I turn Bit Torrent back on? I'm trying to share but cannot figure out how.

PowerDVD and WinDVD can play mpeg2 files and if you get Nero you can create a Super Video CD (SVCD)and which will play in some DVD players.

I've just put "Trash" and "Message" up on eDonkey/eMule (I recommend the eMule client if you're new to the system--the eDonkey client is programmed by retards). I've got decent upstream bandwidth, but it'll still take the files a little while to percolate, so be patient. I plan on staying up as much as possible to make sure that enough people get complete copies of the episodes.

If anyone has a source for "Heart of Gold," please let me know. I wasn't able to get it from the ftp before TRS80 had to take it down. (Thanks, btw!)

You can get eMule at emule.sourceforge.net. Yay, no spyware! And remember, you need the SVCD codec to play these files.

For those of you that have the episodes downloaded to help us that don't, here is what you can do. (bittorrent users)

If I understand it correctly, go back to this link
http://grove.susurrous.net:81/trash.html
and click on the episodes you've ALREADY downloaded. This will re-establish the bit torrent connection, allowing us to download from you. The more people that do it, the faster the rest of us can enjoy this shiny goodness!

If anyone can do this I would appreciate it tremendously, as will probably others!

I am dying to see these - downloading and viewing and sharing Trash was the highlight of my MONTH! I made the VCD of that one and shared it with all my FF fans at work, and made some new converts!

You just have to go back to PhysicsChick's download page and click on the link for the file you have already downloaded that you want to share. Then when it asks where to save it, choose the same directory you already have the file in. The program is smart enough to realize you already have 100% of the file, so it won't re-download anything, but as long as the BitTorrent window is showing, you will be helping out your fellow Browncoats with their downloads. I will have my HoG available via BitTorrent all night. Good luck downloading, all!

what else can i do? is there anybody out there who can convert it the files to run in "normal" quicktime? i remember the gag reel played OK in quicktime ...

Many thanks Embassy (and Maguinan for your e-mail) for the info, got it too late though, I had already purchased the component needed from Apple. Impatience and computer illiteracy are expensive !

So for those Mac X users needing to know, free MPEG-2 players available at versiontracker.com, either VLC player or mPlayer were recommended.
