Preface Note On Files Available Here
Why self-extracting RAR archives with an EXE extension? First, it better utilizes my upload bandwidth and web space. Secondly, it better utilizes a user's download bandwidth. And thirdly, while all uploaded and downloaded files can become corrupted, corrupted media files can't "repair" themselves. However, corrupted RAR archive files "can" be repaired if they include a "recovery record" as part of the file (which all files below do include). Large downloadable files are now placed on five FTP servers that are either as fast or faster than traditional HTTP servers. However, since only a finite number of users can access an FTP area at any given time, you'll have five links to choose from. If one link appears non-responsive (or gives a FILE NOT FOUND error), it only means that the server is maxed out for user slots at the time you click on it. Simply click on a different server link. If ALL servers are maxed out, keep trying each server until one responds with the download. Want those larger files "faster?" Consider using download manager software. My personal favorite download manager for the PC is NetTransport v1.87, the last shareware version released before they added "nag" screens (grin). Do three-thread downloads to achieve optimum speed. Use any more threads and you're on your own. While CRC values are checked to make certain the file downloaded isn't corrupt, other errors can come into play during the thread "recombine" process. And, based on my own experience, three-thread downloads tend to avoid those issues. |

FTP 5 Special note for persons downloading VCD or DivX files - Due to the episode's length and filesize, it will not fit on one CD "unless" you choose to use 90-minute "enhanced" CDs (like these). Be sure to check the compatability lists on that linked page. However, if you choose to use enhanced CDs, make sure your burner is capable of "overburn" (most newer burners are) and if you use Nero, the linked page also gives excellent instructions on how to set up the software to burn properly. On the other hand, if you choose to use standard 80 minute CDs, you'll have to split the file in half and burn the episode to two CDs. One final note of caution. Just because a burner can successfully burn an enhanced CD doesn't mean your media player will recognize it as a valid CD. Some media players, even those that normally recognize VCD and DivX CDs, can be pretty picky. Try them out before you buy them in quantity. Just so you know ...
