Hey you!

I've heard lots of buzz about Lewis - a British mystery/detective show which is a spinoff from Inspector Morse. There aren't a ton of episodes (16 I think) so it would be a good weekend grab project.

Are you on dreamwidth? There's a DL comm there that is fairly active and I can email you with the details.

Ah yes, I've heard good things about Lewis! I'm on Dreamwidth with the same username. *trots off to check things out*

Hey - I know we've only met a couple of times, at Wellington fangirl gatherings, but could I possibly ask a favour?

I'm on the same ISP, and was relishing this opportunity...especially since my three-person household has a 2GB/month bandwidth cap otherwise.

Having said that, I'm getting just about the slowest possible DL speeds - mostly under 20 kbps, and as low as 1 kbps. I tried getting a 350MB file yesterday and it took nine hours.

So if you're twiddling your thumbs and have bandwidth to burn, is there any chance you'd be willing to download some files for me, please? I'm trying to get the show Drive, which is a total of 6 episodes. The first took nine hours, the second is a work in progress, and I'm out of time to attempt a third. I'd be grateful for even one or two of these:

103 Let The Games Begin - www.megaupload.com/?d=2PMH98GU
104 No Turning Back - www.megaupload.com/?d=VTTACTLX
105 The Extra Mile - www.megaupload.com/?d=ZNV1C29S
106 Rearview - www.megaupload.com/?d=CGIWKRJF

Thank you :)

Hi - I missed your comment over the weekend. I found my speed slowed to an absolute crawl too. Clearly every man and his dog was downloading like crazy, which made it all reasonably pointless.

As it happens, though, I rarely get up to my bandwidth limit now that I'm out of the habit, so if you're still after them I can nab them?

Oh, yes please - it'd be awesome if you could grab those eps for me :)
