I've gotten them all via UseNet (a.b.multimedia or a.b.m.scifi). I use SuperNews.com and Extra.newsguy.com (but for just grabbing the odd thing Supernews is best since the cost can grow with usage and usually ends up cheaper - although Newsguy has great annual contracts). I use NewsPro for the downloading chores (a really ugly, but extremely capable multi-server reader). I've been downloading XVID versions (about 350 meg per ep in HD) but people are also uploading DIVX HD (about the same size) and SVCD (about 780 meg per ep). So far I've liked it - although it's already been announced that while the show has been picked up for a second series the lead actor has opted not to return. So we'll have to get used to a new doctor less than 15 episodes in! ;^) Also, after watching the documentary on it (also available on UseNet) I was a little surprised to realize that it's a "kids show". They kept talking about how "this will be the first doctor for these kids" and the "the doctor you see when you're eight years old is always your favorite" and so forth... And here I thought it was mature, adult television. ;^) Jim Davis ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~| Find out how CFTicket can increase your company's customer support efficiency by 100% http://www.houseoffusion.com/banners/view.cfm?bannerid=49 Message: http://www.houseoffusion.com/lists.cfm/link=i:5:153371 Archives: http://www.houseoffusion.com/cf_lists/threads.cfm/5 Subscription: http://www.houseoffusion.com/lists.cfm/link=s:5 Unsubscribe: http://www.houseoffusion.com/cf_lists/unsubscribe.cfm?user=89.70.5 Donations & Support: http://www.houseoffusion.com/tiny.cfm/54
