If anybody knows of any ftp servers or ANYWHERE that I can download the entire Band of Brothers series can ya give me some directions ?? I'm sick and tired of waiting for it to be aired on shitty Australian TV, I got ADSL, so I might aswell use it. So, if ya got any links, help a guy out 
You know the drill, if you do have links but are warez related dont post on forum, message me instead. Hey, I dont need the links for warez, I need it for BoB, just remember, I work for EB, I dont need to download games.

Kazaa or Morpheus are no good to me because of the Router I am using. The ports are blocked or something, or the firewall on the DSL Router is blocking access to most P2P programs which sucks, thats why I need another way. I'm using WinMX at the moment, but most downloads are queued 50 to 150 users, and I'm not waiting that long.

hmm I guess maybe you could look around the related channels on irc but that would be hard to find somebody who has them. I've tried plenty of ways also but decided to just wait for the DVD in November I believe.

Depending on how big they are and the speed I'm getting, 500 meg should take around 5 to 6 hours. Highest download speed I'm capable of is about 60 - 64 Kpbs.

Wheres a MOD to lock this thread? Ripping DVD's so they can be illigally pirated! For shame BW, for shame.
I started a post about ripping DVD's to get screen shots from em and was told that wasnt appropriate for these forums. Now we have DVD piracy and a MOD is in on it.
I tell ya, this is a cop speeding through a school zone because no one will give him a ticket if i ever saw it.
:wink: :lol:
Oh yeah... *cough* i could go for those links to *cough* :lol:

Well I didnt lock that thread. To tell you the truth, I think Hollywood can kiss my ass with their region encoding bullshit anti piracy laws, movies are meant to be aired to whomever, wherever, not to the select few who can buy them or have the right equipment to play them. I think in my case, where a show that was aired close to a year ago has not been aired in Australia in justification enough. But when it all boils down, this isnt DVD piracy as the series isnt even on DVD yet.
I blame bad media programming and the soccermums who saw fit to cancel what could possibly be the best mini series ever created. Now that I got that out of the way, I downloaded Kazaa, I thought it used exactly the same ports and all that crap as Morpheus, to my delight I could download  . I got the first episode last night, and by God, I loved every minute of it. Cant wait to download Day of Days !!
Anyways fella's, I'm off for the weekend. Have a good one and dont get up to mischief  . Seeya's all later.
