OT: Season 3 BSG - Page 20

There's a probe? oh well I'll just wait till I get the latest epsiodes from my friend.

I thought the Bio weapon thing in the latest WotW was unoriginal. I mean yeah it's from the book but really I expected they'd introduce something new. It worked as an original idea 100 years ago, I just thought it was so cliched by now they'd make an effort to intorduce something new. I mean surely the aliens would be more "knowledgable" these days. I for one can't stand a story where the good guys win because the aliens are idiots,(cough) Battlefield Earth (/cough).

Until the show says otherwise I'm sticking to my idea that Earth is way more advanced and when the Fleet finds it the pursuing Cylons get annihilated in minutes.

I'm afraid I don't know what I'm supposed to look at. If you mean the bitTorrents, I don't want anything to do with downloading stuff from other people short of a file sent from someone I know. I like BSG and other programs but I'm not in that much of a hurry.

Edit: let me elaborate. I can see you offer the episodes and I appreciate it but I'm not comfortable with it. I also personally don't believe in things being worth downloading huge files. I don't download huge GB games and stuff because I consider it a lack of restraint to be trolling the Internet and leaving my computer on all day just to download something I don't basically need

.

As far as trust, you really only have to trust whoever gives you the .torrent file.

If the peers try to send anything that isn't right, it gets tossed out.

If you don't want to use a torrent file to download the episodes, you can do it totally legally by buying each episode from Apple a few days after it airs. Just get and set up the iTunes software, and go to iTunes store, and then go to TV Shows, and it will give you a whole array of options. Each show, typically, costs $1.99. Perfectly legal, no stress.

I found out about that a few days ago. I was thinking of getting Stargate episodes, but couldn't figure out how to get them, plus I wondered if they'd be really small for ipods. I actually have iTunes for some reason, even though I don't have an ipod or listen to much music. I think it got installed when I installed something else.

Edit: now I remember. The maker of an alt-hist website did a podcast.

We play the episodes on our computer, not on a iPod - it's just like watching TV...

Randallw · #**199** November 6th, 2006, 05:02 AM

yeah. I do the same thing with the episodes my friend gives me. I forgot that I always set it to full screen

. With RvB I download the free low res version and just full screen it.

However I just downloaded the latest version of itunes, discovered my firewall stopped it, disabled the firewall, registered and then discovered I can only use the Australian store. I tried registering in the US store but it only allows the country my card is in

and the Australian store doesn't have tv shows

I'll just have to check until they do.
