It depends - if you don't care about quality and just want to see it/get the story the "Divx for Dialup" posts (something like: "Divx For Dialup - B4TTL35T4R G4L4CT1C4") are very small - only like 80 meg for the whole episode - but the quality sucks. Otherwise just look for "Battlestar Galactica" - I'm almost positive that last weeks would have been episode six of the season. This is usually marked "2x06" or "s02e06" or the like. Personally I look for the HD xvid AVI files (my DVD player will play those and they're only 300-400 meg). If you've got a media player or will be watching on the computer this is way to go. But somebody almost always posts up SVCDs as well (bigger - usually 800meg - but they play on many DVD players). In general you'll find more options and less distraction at alt.binaries.battlestar-galactica if your server has it - there's one guy that just finished downloading all of season one in HD capped from SkyOne (a British satellite provider I believe). Truly excellent quality. I'm hoping he does the same for Season two. Let me know if you need any hints on decompressing/codecs. Usenet can seem really daunting at first (and even later) but with a small toolset and some patience it can be really rewarding. ;^) Jim Davis ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~| Discover CFTicket - The leading ColdFusion Help Desk and Trouble Ticket application http://www.houseoffusion.com/banners/view.cfm?bannerid=48 Message: http://www.houseoffusion.com/lists.cfm/link=i:5:171139 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=11502.10531.5 Donations & Support: http://www.houseoffusion.com/tiny.cfm/54
