She downloaded "Trash" from my site--so I don't know if she has access to Kaaza or Bittorrent, but I'm sure as soon as she gets the files, she'll put them up...

I suspect the server is just overloaded and refusing additional connections; I am getting "Host is unreachable" errors from my FTP client. Guess I'll have to wait until I get home tonight and search for it on Kazaa (unless the bit torrent link goes up first...any luck, physics chick?)

I'm downloading Heart of Gold right now, BitTorrent should be up (knock on wood) by ~8 pm PST. I'll get The Message after that and put it up tomorrow morning (or, my fiance will do it late tonight since he goes to bed at 4 am), and Trash after that (I'm assuming this one is a MUCH better copy than I have - no ICQ noises! - but I still do have that old one for BitTorrent if people want it, so it goes last).

Oh, I should add the page:
http://grove.susurrous.net/trash.html
will have the links on it when they're ready. It's got the old version of Trash and the Kaylee fan vid (with authour's permission) up there now.

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.

"Big damn junkies, Sir!"

I'm afraid the files I've made available are all I'm going to have time for in the next 2 months at least. Real Life(tm) is keeping me pretty busy.

Making the MPEGs was easy...I just clicked a few things and walked away. DVD authoring is a lot more time consuming than that!

Does anyone know who runs "Hello Cowgirl"? That's where I downloaded "Trash", and I would love to see "The Message" and "Heart of Gold" there. I cannot use BitTorrent at work (too many proxies and firewalls) and the DSL at my apartment is of extremely s(low) quality. OH, well, I guess I am just too impatient! I truely love Firefly and still can't believe it was cancelled! I feel like a beloved family member has died. I grew up on science fiction, and love Star Trek only because that's what it is. Compared to Firefly, Enterprise is a disgrace. Please, "Hello Cowgirl", distribute "The Message" and "Heart of Gold"!!!

How come it seems like every time I find something I really love, it gets taken off the market??????

Any chance of getting these episodes in lower quality... like maybe the 300-400 neighborhood? I'm gonna be getting the DVDs whent they come out, so I don't really need them in uber high quality right now... and my DSL slows to a crawl when I have to upload at the same time I'm downloading, like with Bittorrent.

Her email is on her site and she responds quickly. But, as LJC said, she'll probably have them up as soon as she can.

Thanks for the uploads, TRS80. By the way, as the current owner of three CoCos and two Model 100s and former owner of a Model 1 with monitor serial number 00058, I can't help but love your username!

Thank You! Thank You! Thank You! I've got HOG downloaded, but have to wait until tonight to watch it. I think it is going to be a long day. It loaded overnight, and usually I'd leave the torrent thing going for an hour after I'm done, but today I've left it open for 5 hours so far. Hope it helps others get the ep. Thanks so much to all the people who are more computer savy than I am and can get these eps. out to us! If it weren't for you smart people, this dummy wouldn't get to enjoy these!

Once I have them downloaded, if I can open them in Quicktime Pro, I can see about making smaller versions and uploading them for folks who don't intend to burn them to VCD.
