I only recorded 1/2 hour sunday 2/16/03.

I understand there were 2 new half-hour episodes, 302 *and* 303. Is there any practical way to acquire the 303 other than waiting for a repeat some day??

Download is okay as I have broadband and P2P apps, but I don't know if folks share such stuff?

[Usually I record the big-dish wildfeed early Suday am to get the best picture, but I programmed the dish wrong yesterday. Dumb.]

Thanks!

Darnit! I only recorded 1/2 hour sunday 2/16/03.

I read here that this was 2 half-hour shows : 302 & 303. If so, is there any practical way I could acquire the 303 other than just waiting for a repeat?

Wow, cool! Thanks, man, but I was lost over there! Could you give me a couple of pointers?

For instance, what were the identifying numbers of those 2 episodes FAB something?

When I find posts with those alphanumerics in the subject line, there are loads of them in sequence, like "1 of 27" even though each is 7.5 MB. Also RAR and DiVX5.... I know rar archives, but I feel lost over there. Can one find a whole episode in one post, or is that not the way?

Sorry to ask so much- if you could point me at a FAQ or primer of some sort, I could puzzle it out without troubling you further.

Thanks again,

The best newsgroup binaries tutorial I've ever seen is at http://www.slyck.com/ng.php?page=1 . It focuses on mp3 newsgroup downloads, but the principal is basically the same for TV rips.

That was the advice given me when I said I missed #303.

Well, I subscribed to the NG above- but it looks like Greek to me! I do have a fast connection and a fast pc (though no Divx player), but I felt lost over there.

For one thing, it looks like they post the same thing over & over: the posts are over 7 MB - would it take >20 to make a 21 minute video?

And these are RAR files, I think some are anyway, so they're compressed.

D'Oh! I don't know where to begin! Sorry to ask so much- if you could point me at a FAQ or primer of some sort, I could puzzle it out without troubling you further. Please help me get started.
