Yeah, do it! but not in this Newsgroup!! Find a place where we can download em. 1 per day would be great!

Couple of possible Binaries groups.. (both of which are practically empty!)

De.Alt.Binaries.MSDos.D (Dead.. Can't see this one ever growing!) Alt.Binaries.tv.Us-sitcoms (more suited, and empty, but likely to erupt eventually!)

Where would you like me to post them? "Benjamin Barth" wrote in message news:9o1qva$q5d$04$[email]...

Anywhere but here. :-) This is a text-only newsgroup, and messages with binary attachments are a bad thing--they push thousands of text messages off the news servers, can result in ISP's dropping this newsgroup, etc. etc. etc.

It may be more convenient for episode traders to find one of the deserted binary groups you mentioned and meet there. That way you can post episodes and requests, and this text newsgroup could stay focused on its real purpose of discussing Seinfeld. Thanks!

I can't say I have any good suggestions for where to post them, but I would definitely be interested in an episode-a-day thing.

Do you know how to setup a newsserver i cannot setup up an FTP because i have sympatico which changes the IP address every so often "John Twernbold" wrote in message news:KX9p7.321168$[email]...

Instead of setting up a news server, simply use an existing binaries group. As another poster suggested, try the alt.binaries.tv.us-sitcoms group.

Hey that would be great, i could probably post too... if only i knew how though :) I need around 30 more episodes though, would be nice if some people could fill request. But none of those "hey i need all 180 episodes, please post asap" requests.

Whoa hold on, i just check those two groups De.Alt.Binaries.MSDos.D and Alt.Binaries.tv.Us-sitcoms and @home doesnt carry those. How about we find one that @home does carry, it doesnt take long for use cable guys to upload 1 episode anyway.

Well, I guess I'll go hunting again. I've picked out a bunch of possible places, that could be empty, which we could Adopt in the name of Sein. Let's go look.

1. Alt.binaries.Amp - Hmm. OK! Scantily clad women, meet holiday locations! 2. Alt.binaries.dreamcast.d - 100% spam, from the look of things. Possible Location. 3. Alt.binaries.fz - Oh, Frank Zappa! Right.. Bit full, here. 4. Alt.binaries.great.ass.paulina - Paulina apparently has thousands of faces... And Asses, too! 5. Alt.binaries.multimedia.gloves - Kramer got his gloves back, from the car thief, right? This is seems to be a perfect location. 6. Alt.binaries.ph.uk - Phuk! Thats empty too! 7. Alt.binaries.warez.commodore64 - Would you believe it!? This ones EMPTY! Mind you, someone'd probably complain if you used this. C64 owners can be a bit protective of their NG's!

Well, any of them do?

I'll give you a friendly piece of advice right now; this forum is not a place to discuss anything about uploading/downloading seinfeld episodes. The majority of these people in here like John Twernbold despise this type of behavior. He is one who will make his voice heard; the others are silent until an all out flame war begins on the topic. The silent ones are who you need to worry about.

My best advice is to go to: http://episodes4all.cjb.net/

Those people are into uploading and downloading episodes via ftp. They have a message board that you can discuss this activity.

thats all fantastic, but until this group is renamed alt.tv.seinfeld.johntwernbold, his opinion amounts to less than a gnat fart in a hurricane. If you dont want to trade episodes, then DONT.. but dont try and tell everyone else whats in their best interest... that kind of attitude is what gets ameicans in trouble these days.

Sorry, but this text-only newsgroup is for discussion of Seinfeld. That's why there are tens of thousands of newsgroups: each has an intended purpose. If you want to trade Seinfeld episodes, charter a new newsgroup (you could call it alt.binaries.tv.seinfeld), use an existing newsgroup (alt.binaries.tv.us-sitcoms), use IRC, or meet at an existing website (http://episodes4all.cjb.net/).

We've had this debate a number of times in here before. The bottom line: most of us want to find like-minded people. Traders want to hook up with traders, and Seinfeld-discussers want to have discussions about Seinfeld. If there's a place where the traders can get together and actually *post* their episodes (as well as advertisements, etc.), then it's in everyone's best interest. You won't have Seinfeld fans asking you to stop posting trading messages, and we won't have endless posts asking for episodes. Everyone's happy.

In general binaries go into groups prefixed with alt.binaries. Anything else is considered text-only. If you post binaries here there will be hundreds of automated scripts on newsservers around the world that will delete them immediately. You will also generate thousands of complains from people that don't even read this group, but scan the newsfeed for binaries outside the alt.binaries.* area. That's not a question of how this group is defined, it's a general rule. Breaking it will cost you your internet connection, that's 100% sure.

Yeah, you know that and I know that and John surely knows that, but some people are going to try to stir up shit regardless.

Dave (they should post to alt.stir-up-shit instead.)

John TwernboldDave

Yes. Yes I do. And don't call me Shirley.

im sorry, i wasn't advocating that we post binaries here, i was just saying that if someone (such as i did a few weeks ago) wants to post their FTP address so folks can trade episodes, then there shouldn't be someone else telling me that im not allowed to do that because they dont think its right. in short: trade episodes if you want.. just dont do it here, and if you dont like the idea of trading episodes, then dont do it. However, DONT tell everyone else that they cant do it either.
