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.  ;^)
