episodes4all.cjb.net FTP server

Has anyone ever successfully downloaded from episodes4all.cjb.net's FTP server? I have tried about 25 times now, at all different times of the day, and it's never open. I log into the server and then get the message "the files server has shut down".

And I can't post to their forum about it because you have to give your life history and e-mail address to register with ezboard.com in order to post - forget that!

I seem to recall that there was a post about the owners getting more bandwidth - did that ever come to pass?

Downloading from web servers is lame, it almost never works. The files are not on that site. Instead they open an account at tripod.com lycos.com etc, put the files on it, people download and within 12 hours it is blocked.

Better download kazaa from www.kazaa.com and use that. This way you can download all 180 episodes trouble-free.

It's not a Web server. It's an FTP server - like I specifically said ("Has anyone ever successfully downloaded from episodes4all.cjb.net's FTP server?")

That does not appear to be what is going on. It's a standard private FTP server, it's been at the same IP for a while - it just appears to be overloaded.

There is no kazaa for Macintosh. :P

When episodes4all first started, it worked fine. You could download whole episodes (sometimes in like 10 pieces) but they worked. About a month ago they quit and another crew "took over" their site. Now, these people just want to tell everybody that they're cool and that they've got every episode, because no link has ever worked. And I'm sure any of the files they point to will ever work. If you're looking for episodes you should, like Fidelio said, use kazaa or an irc client (there are many fservers on dalnet).

Well, good luck with allllll that :)

A ha - thanks for the info - yeah their slick Web interface belies the fact that you can't actually GET any files from it. Argh.

OK, I'll try that, and perhaps get a friend with a PC to help me with Kazaa.

Thanks for your suggestions, Michiel and Fidelio...

yada yada yada, verbila

kazaa is CACA!
