Where y'all goin' for your TV downloads and torrents these days?

Like, say for example I'm missing House 1x08. Where'd I find it?

List things at me, won'tcha?*

(*In exchange I'll list things at you, if you want to try and stump the band and ask me for my Top Five Lists of Anything.)

I like IsoHunt (http://isohunt.com/). If you search for "house.108" you're likely to find it.

Er, do they let you send invites? If so, of course! But not till I get home. Sigh.

Heh.

Also, if you've got the bandwidth -

The full first season is available for download. 7.5 GB.

When people are missing House episodes, they ask their friendly French girl next ocean over, 'cause she's got all of them.

Want it added to the server with the next batch of 'Lantis?

I do! And I'm deleting 1x07 now, or you should feel free to do so becuase it doesn't seem to be responding to my delete command. I've got 7 and am d/ling 9.

Can you gimme House 1x08, the Ep (I believe) Of The Poisoned Pants?

Pirates of the UK (www.potuk.com) is a wacky one from the UK too. Forum based and they take (and fill!) requests. But they didn't have House. ;(

The fancy Bradford Exchange dragon is the first installment in some sort of Fantasy series. And the copy for it was truly, astoundingly embarrasing. My heart once more aches for you and your teeny fluffy angel puppies. /shudders.

The thingy seems to think so. But no worries; I found my House and I'm torrenting Family Guy so I'm essentially covered...

I do! But I currently have every ep but 1x08, so, you know... *g*

Me TOO. That isohunt.com scours all the major torrent sites, which rocks too. Though already most of the hits it's finding are FROM torrentspy.com.

Thank you!

My copy is bad, but not nearly as bad as the stuff that comes out of the other corps around here.

The stuff from Home and Family team is so treacly that you get instant contact diabetes.

The people writing the fantasy copy are people who have never read a book with a dragon in in their lives. You should see how hideous the LOTR stuff is and what an utter lack of familiarity with the book, films and genre it painfully displays. And you are NOT allowed to talk sense to them, either. Because "normal people don't know that stuff." And "normal people are NOT your market for LOTR plates" doesn't fly.

Not invites so much as codes, though they call them invites. Go to the 'your account' section and you should see an invite section... it'll give you the URL to send Sab to and a code to send her.

ZOMG - is there a special French-Fan server where we can uppload/download tv shows? Because I have some un-gettable fannish shows that I'd love to start sharing after VividCon..

Date: 2005-07-20 11:12 pm (UTC)
From: [identity profile] iamsab.livejournal.com
I believe you. This copy here is all about "look at the powerful stance of the warrior. You just KNOW she's the only one who can defeat the dragon."

(And that "you just know" was verbatim.)

It's a wonder you're not dead from insulin overdose. Then again, it's sort of campy and terrific, in a way. You know, like Hummel figurines and Buffalo 66? If anyone asks what you do for a living, you should respond: "Irony."

Well, if "special French-Fan server" means [livejournal.com profile] samdonne and her personal webspace, then, Oui!!

What are you looking for? I might know some people who know some people. And if you want to UPLOAD, we're just talkin' regular FTP transferring. Whattaya got?

Yo, Fifi. Tell me when I can come back in?

I'm on AIM. And 97% done with 1x09, but I'm off the server so you can put House up; I figure we can't both be on the server at once?

So in about 3%, we can delete 1x09 too. Come on AIM?

Mostly I'm looking for a place to put episodes of things that folks are missing - so I could put up a couple of episodes of Invisible Man or the like - but only if the fabulous samdonne has the bandwidth to deal with a bunch of crazy fans downloading!

I have shows I'd be willing to share that others might not have, like Cupid, or Alien Nation, and of course Invisible Man, plus episodes from all sorts of things - had I known you were looking for House 8, I could have flung that up... What we really need is a fannish server somewhere.

Agreed! I'd want some of that Cupid action, m'self. WHen I get back from the wedding, let's seriously investigate a fannish server.

Sorry, sort of dropped off to sleep in the middle of things, there. I'm a morning person now. It's tough, but I get buy.

We can both be on the server at the same time, no problem. I got your note. Did you get House? When I woke up, FileZilla had disconnected itself, so I don't know if the file went up.

And of course there's more 'Lantis. Nine more. I'm filling up the server again, for when you get back from the wedding. Any other House you need?

Turns out I also need House 1x01, and anything after 1x18 unless that was the finale (can't recall atm).

And I did get House. I leave in about two and a half hours, but I'll go now and see if there's anything I can download before I go.

I remain, avidly, your greatest admirer,
iamsab.

House goes to 1x22. I'll add those for you, as well as 1x01.

Ep upload in progress won't be complete before you leave. Did you see the Atlantis season premiere, or will you need that, too? Tomorrow's episode as well, or will you be someplace that carries SciFi?

DOn't need Atlantis premiere; I saw it. Exciting! We have new friends now!

I'll download the rest of the Atlantises and Houses (Atlantisi? Heese?) when I get to Massachussetts.

Hhmm.....Seems like you've got plenty of torrents to go with, so I won't bother. However, I am interested in a Top Five List from you, if you're willing-your top 5 X-Files episodes!
