It's because the server is busy. What, you think you're the only person that wants to download entire Futurama episodes? LOL, well don't worry because we're getting several more servers soon to fix the problem with accessibility.

By the way, the RealPlayer versions are up now...if you can access them!

<It's because the server is busy. What, you think you're the only person that wants to download entire Futurama episodes? LOL, well don't worry because we're getting several more servers soon to fix the problem with accessibility.>

So we get those "the server returned extended information" messages because of busy servers, right?

Yep! Well actually you can get quite a few different error messages sometimes because your browser gets confused and times out. Somtimes it says the server returned extended info, sometimes it asks for a password (There is NO password, btw), etc...Just keep trying and you should get through eventually.

We're setting up 4 more servers in the US and Europe that should be running sometime next month.

wouldn't it just be easier to copy the link and use an ftp client?

Bullet Proof FTP will catch ftp addresses that you copy in the clipboard and will automatically start to connect, ifin you configure it that way.

I feel lucky. I only got denied twice.

BTW, who creates the mpegs? IMHO, if they were 215MB each instead of 220+, you can burn three per CD instead of two. Took 9 CDs for both seasons. Not that I'm complaining, just my suggestion.

Zip them! Seriously, with WinZip at maximum compression, s1e5 goes from 222,990 KB (217 MB) down to 218,241 KB ( 213 MB ). Then all you need is something like ZipMagic2000 to let you 'see' zips like normal folders. Of course, that still doesn't mean it won't be a slow drag... And I'm wondering if ZM2000 hasn't made my system less stable.. :(

Secondly, are you sure you couldn't get all three on a CD? Easy CD Creator (3.5c) shows me it's "estimated" free space, and it hits zero at 650.4 MB, HOWEVER, the other day I noticed that I had burned a CD when I was OVER 650.4, it was showing 0 estimate free space no matter how many files I added, and it hadn't complained about not having enough space when I burned it, and all the files were readable!

I'm going to try S1E1-3 tonight. I'll let you know how it goes, but I'm betting they will just squeeze on.

Of course, I'd prefer some room at the edges, where apparently the Oxygen diffusing in begins to cause the degredation in CDRs/CDRWs... ( that's another matter entirely... )

I've been using GoZilla. I had to disable it's browser integration though and customize it a bit, so it wasn't an annoying hassle nor intrusion. So I end up using it only when I want to, when I have a big list of big files to grab... I haven't tried any other programs yet. May not unless GoZilla peeves me off too much.

-Craig, who's thinking of setting up a 1 user 15KB/s mirror soon.

It worked! I got eps 4, 5, and 6 all on one CD. 652MB, 684,595,472 bytes. (I didn't use 1-3 as #1 is smaller than all the rest, 1-3 will fit for sure.)

And there's still an itsy bitsy sliver of 'unburnt' material around the edge.

I think whoever made the mpeg's just cut it really close when choosing the sizes to fit on a CD. Personally, I wouldn't mind if they were 324MB, for that little extra level of quality, but that'd increase the load on servers by 50%, so I don't blame em.

Only downside? The 'tracking', when I 'fast-forward' to another location in the mpeg, now has a noticable (but small) delay as the CD-ROM seeks the appropriate location. Now I just need to figure out whether or not I want these on my HDs or CDs. I guess on CDs I can share them if ever need be...

So, try 'overburning' a tiny bit, IF your software will let you. For sure Easy CD Creator 3.5c will let you do it.

I wonder what the actual 'real' limit is on normal CDR/CDRW media, and why this program only gives an 'estimated' space free, and why it even lets me try to go over what it estimates full is? I wonder what it would do if I gave it 660 MB to burn on a regular 650MB CDR?

I guess I'll cross post to a couple cdr groups and see if anyone there knows.

TTFN

No need for cross-posting - the answer is posted in all the usual references: the CD-R FAQ, Adaptec's WWW site and the primer at my site. The capacity of a specific disc is written into the ATIP. That's before overburning, which means writing beyond that capacity. You can learn the value from ECDC's Disc (or CD) Info menu item. Typically, it's a few MB more than 650, but it varies with the line of discs.

Overburning is also discussed in those references. Reading is recommended.

If you have CD Creator Deluxe, it comes with a VCD burning program. This will allow you to burn 72 minute VCDs which can be played on computers with software players, or on some DVD players. To find it, look under "Advanced Features" from the windows startup menu. (Start button > Adaptec EasyCD Creator > Advanced Features > Video CD Creator). I have burned and played a few VCDs on my computer with shareware players, however I don't have a DVD player to try them on. Several models I looked at in the store say they will play VCDs.

Like music CDs, they don't use error correction and sector information. A CD actually holds 740MB, but about 90MB is used by sector markings, error correction etc.

The VCD format never became popular in the US. I believe it's used a bit in Europe and more so in Asia. I'm not too sure about the details, so if you are, please correct me. The overall quality is a little under video tape.

The reason the free space is estimated is the sector size on a CD may be different than the sector size on your hard drive. When you save a file, it takes up an certain number of sectors. If the file doesn'd exactly fill the last sector, some space is left over. The smaller the sector size, the less wasted space.

You mean it's not just for breakfast anymore?

Yep. Here in Europe (in Asia too???) it's known as CD-i and most DVD-Players I saw can handle it. Someone told me that the Japanese like this system more than DVD.

Excellent page thanks for the files
