How long is the episode? I seem to have got it, but it's only 41 minutes long - am i missing the last 10 minutes? Last shot is a blonde haired woman's face.

Hmm. Think you might be missing them putting Kate into her cage.

Thanking you,

Moderators - if you have a problem with this post, please just delete it.

It doesn't pertain to anything illegal, but I know you guys would rather be safe than sorry.

---------------

A great site to search for torrents (which need not necessarily be copyright - it's just a tool) is :

www.torrentz.com

Inside Firefox, I use utorrent ("mu" - torrent) :

http://www.utorrent.com/

I don't know the legality of downloading old tv shows and certainly don't officially condone doing anything which breaches copyright or any other applicable law.

Thanks Mr D.

I use the mighty [Azureus]

Just make sure you install the 'safe peer' plugin as well...

Also, [mininova] is fantastic for really well seeded torrents.

I can't use azureus - its a cpu hog. (lovely GUI tho).

[Utorrent] works better for me.

No worries. Silicon group have dvd rewriters for Â£25 - and blank dvds these days are well cheap - why not invest in one so you can watch on your telly?

ifstar · Post by **ifstar** » 08 Oct 2006, 11:48

I use a newsgroup, pay a small fee but get superb download speeds if downloading multiple files at once (up to and over 1Mb per sec) and you don't really have to hunt to find what your after.

I got my writer and all my blank discs from www.SVP.co.uk, mine is the Pioneer DVR-111D DVD+/-R/RW Writer for just over Â£20. They also have a 99p shipping offer on till 11.59pm tonight if you use the code - svp99uk

impossiblevoices · Post by **impossiblevoices** » 08 Oct 2006, 12:05

Yeah ifstar, newsgroups are better than torrents for speed. Do you use Newsleecher as a client?

The downside is that you have to pay for it though...

or you could buy an xbox, setup a wireless network and stream it over the air to your tv using [xbox media centre]...!

ifstar · Post by **ifstar** » 08 Oct 2006, 12:42

No, the newsgroup I use can be browsed and searched quite well just using your browser but I then copy the search link into GetRight Browser if there are a number of files I want to download or if there isn't many files then I will just download using the Right click - Download with GetRight option.

Media Centre PC is the way I want to go but just can't afford it at the moment

impossiblevoices · Post by **impossiblevoices** » 08 Oct 2006, 14:54

Aah, I thought you meant you had a usenet account and a reader like newsleecher...

SWEET FREAKING J'ESUS!

How did I end up so hooked on this TV show?

It's the writers. They keep inventing more and more things they know we'll question. Plus they seem to be paying attention to the fans and their theories and putting things in to annoy/enchant them.

All the ARG stuff as well. Plus that Kate is a bit buff.

I am the same, and how many series is it supposed to be running.......

I just get frustrated that there is not enough answers and so many questions - great TV I guess

Dadaist · Post by **Dadaist** » 13 Oct 2006, 00:49

NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO

This is probably the first time ever that, when a programme has ended I've just about shouted "NOOO!!! DON'T END THERE!!!! YOU SWINE!!!"

I'm starting to wonder if the ultimate conspiracy theory is that the Others are the series creators and we are the people lost on the island of their script.

impossiblevoices · Post by **impossiblevoices** » 13 Oct 2006, 09:02

Aha!

Hadn't considered that! Kind of all Alasdair Gray, 'Lanark' esque...

Thanks for the reminder - I also need to buy some blank dvds to tide me over because the ones I ordered from Amazon on 1 Sep don't arrive until mid November

Have a look at www.svp.co.uk as they are pretty good for blank dvds. Shipping is usually very fast too.

Questions, questions and more questions, grrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr

impossiblevoices · Post by **impossiblevoices** » 20 Oct 2006, 09:38

Defo a bit of 'Lanarkesque', 'the writers are in the show' thang going on...

Dadaist · Post by **Dadaist** » 20 Oct 2006, 10:02

I am really starting to question this show. I'm unsure now as to whether it's so strange it's great, or so strange it's a load of cobbled together rubbish that the writers make up as they go along, tittering up their sleeves at us as they pile on the ridiculousness whilst eyeing up their bank balances.

IV - I've not read this "Lanark" thing - what is it?

impossiblevoices · Post by **impossiblevoices** » 20 Oct 2006, 10:15

[Lanark] is [Alasdair Gray's] masterpiece.

It took him over thirty years to write and, I have to admit, after having read it 3 or 4 times, I am still not sure I could tell you briefly what it is about. It is a story about two characters, Duncan Thaw and Lanark.

The passage I refer to comes in the epilogue, which is four chapters from the end of the book, when the character Lanark meets the author. Such questions arise as what would happen if the author closed the book? Or stopped writing...?

Cannot recommend this or any other of his works highly enough. Or his art either. Total gengi...

Thanks, will peruse. Don't lend me the book. My track record of returning books to people from POL is similar to the overseas success of the Yankee military.
