Just a drive-by post. Though before I start everything else, let me wish a Happy Birthday to [livejournal.com profile] auster. Hope you'll have a wonderful day, girl *g*

It's not even 2.00 pm and I feel like the whole day has gone, pfew! But I'm home now and after the main activity of this morning, which wasn't funny at all btw, I went to the mall and... treated myself with Angel S4 Pt1 - YAY! So if someone asks for me, I'll be the happy fangirl sprawled on her bed hypnotised by the magic box, thank you very much!

But I'm not just here to tell you about my oh so exciting plan for the day *rolls eyes* I'm also here to share the pilot of Numb3rs - I know several of you guys asked me to share the link yesterday. It literally took 24 hours to upload since I actually had to do the process over and over and over and over and over again. I even let Clark on when I left the house this morning, which I never do, so that the last try turned into the Right Try - and it worked. Fortunately because it was driving me a tad crazy. I love YSI, I truly do, but man, sometimes I want to throttle it... or something.

Anyway it's finally available and I hope you won't face any problem with the file *crosses fingers* It's not anymore, I'm afraid.

Here it comes: Numb3rs 1x01 [.avi / 350MB]

[Edit: Bloody link not working right now. I know *is not a happy camper*]


[Edit2: Am actually trying again. Question of honour and psycho stuff like that lol I'll let you know whether it works or not *g*]

On a sorta related note, I downloaded the pilot of Carnivale yesterday but I'm afraid it didn't exactly grab me, so I passed. Now... I'm trying to decide what to download next, some Nip/Tuck or Scrubs or Tru Calling... hmm, decision, decision *g*

And la Chandeleur last night? Was yummy beyond the telling of it *licks lips at the mere thought of it* There're some crêpes left so I think I'll even eat some in front of Angel. Oh boy... some days are just too good for words!

Jeez, girl, you're a real download whore!! ::bfg::
I'm not sure your magic link works because we're being redirected to the original link after a few seconds. :o(

Oh! Crêpes and Angel??!!! That's downright sinful!!! ::eg::

Et encore, pendant que je regarde Angel, je télécharge deux autres trucs. Ca m'éclate lol

I think this is how it's supposed to work actually. There's an middle-link or something and when you're directed to the usual page, the magic had done its work silently - or so I've been told *crosses fingers* Well, as long as the download works at all, it'll be something at least *g*

Et tu rigoles, des crêpes sans nutella? Quelle horreur - y 'avait intérêt que j'en ai *chews crêpe au Nutella* Et non, on commencera pas la polémique, promis *eg*

Au fait? Mes DVDs sont à tomber par terre - wheeeee! *goes back to her beloved series*

You probably don't want to hear this, but it doesn't work for me >.< It redirects me, but to a page that says 'blocked' and that the link might be stale or over bandwidth etc.

Thanks for trying, though :D

I definitely didn't want to hear this, damn right *sigh* I hardly understand how the bandwith can have been killed with two downloads and I don't see how anyone would have downloaded the file without saying they're doing so considering I actually asked, for good reason to. So I don't know...

I'm back on the regular link now anyway. Hopefully if it's a bandwith problem, it should come back? I have no idea whether a site like YSI works like a regular site? Because man, it took all fucking day yesterday plus last night and a good portion of this morning to upload so if it was just for two downloads, it's hardly worth it. Wanna try again later eventually?

And sorry :-(

I think the allowed number of downloads is what they call bandwidth, although there could be some hidden clause about big files somewhere. After all, they don't specify the number of downloads in a visible place, do they?

I'm sorry for the trouble you went through with the uploading! But take the good part - if at least two people managed to download it, it has fulfilled its purpose, there are two happy Numb3rs-watching people ;)

Was it the first episode from Season 1? You should give the show another chance ... it gets odder and creepier as it goes along. And you probably didn't even get a chance to see the Reverend and his sister; they make the Boone/Shannon relationship on Lost seem perfectly healthy and normal.

Since I don't get HBO, I have to wait until Season 2 (which is being shown now) ends and the DVDs come out before I get to see how the Season 1-ending cliffhanger was resolved (and it was much more of a cliffhanger than anything TF did with Oz).

Yes it was the pilot. Actually, if the show was on TV, I'd give it another chance, but since I have to be a tad picky with the stuff I choose to d/l since it's taking time but also taking some room on my computer, I think I'll pass, you know? *g* Though the show does air here, mind, just not on a regular network.

Anyway, if I have the opportunity to watch it on TV one of these days I'll certainly give a chance cause it does sound intriguing, but not right now *g*

And seriously? Boone/Shannon would sound healthy and normal? Wow lol Though I take it we actually speak of real brother and sister with the Revered and his sis? Interesting *eg*

Yes, real brother and sister. Now, the relationship may not be exactly what you're thinking about, although there are certainly some indications in that direction. The whole dynamic between them just becomes more and more unsettling as the show goes along. I'd like to say something else, but I don't want to spoil things in case you do ever get a chance to see it (or the DVDs become available in a format you can play). All I'll say is that the sister warrants more attention than she seems to.

Since you're trying to think of things to download...have you considered NCIS??? Mark Harmon. Michael Weatherly. Slashy subtext that really isn't subtext...*G*

NCIS airs here but it didn't succeed in hooking me, I'm afraid *g* Which really means something since I actually liked the characters well enough, but it just doesn't work for me. Also, I find Gibbs pretty mean to DiNozzo so I just can't like the slash either lol

At least it means I have own less series to download *g*

Oh no! The Numb3rs download isn't working anymore. ;___;

I so want to start watching that series - used to be a huge Rob Morrow fangirl. :D

Now I just have to figure out how to download the eps, all the future ones too, in a way that doesn't involve Bittorrent, as Bt no longer works in the Uni network. Woe!

Actually, I made of this fucking episode upload a question of honour so I'm uploading it at YSI again for, like, the eleventh time? But who keeps count, right? *glare at YSI* If it works, I just hope two downloads won't be the limit because it doesn't make me a happy camper. At all. Anyway, I'll let you know if it does so you can download it over there *g*

Carnivale had so much potential but it's completely incomprehensible and SLOW. The trailers they are running for the new season essentially say "Carnivale - we promise that something will happen this time. Really."

Numbers on the other hand looks cool. I will have to Tivo.

From: [identity profile] castalie.livejournal.com
I think Carnivale may eventually be interesting to try on TV, when you don't care about stuffing your poor little computers with heavy episodes, you know? As download goes, this series isn't 'good' enough. It seemed intriguing mind, but if you tell me that it's so slow, I think I'll pass.

I know the show airs on cable here, but I have no idea whether they'll ever do on regular networks so I don't think I'll see it myself, but I'm not too sad lol

And Numb3rs is really interesting *g*

So today in my French class our Amity scholar, who's from Normandy, showed us this crazy show, Les Guignols. I was terribly frightened let me tell you. So I must know more about this show! It seemed very funny and sort of similar to our show "The Daily Show" as it is a "news" program. So tell me about it!

Date: 2005-02-04 08:06 am (UTC)
From: [identity profile] castalie.livejournal.com
Les Guignols is a big thing over here, everyone knows about it and some of their sketches are pure classic which anyone can quote with the knowledge that they'll be understood.

It's a 'news' program indeed, and deal heavily with politics but also uses everyday stuff, like tv shows or programs that we see on our TV but also just everything they find 'intersting', as in they know they'll be able to work on, like what happens in football --since you may know that football is a big thing over here too-- you'll find footballers portrayed on a regular basis too *g*

It's caustic and they go right for the jugular and they make no prisoner lol They're certainly not nice to the States for instance, but you shouldn't be offended because they're sure not nice to anyone/anything, France included *g*

You can follow the program here (http://www.canalplus.fr/index.php?pid=20). I think you can find a new video each day, ie the program of the day before.

What about the Daily Show, now? I've heard a lot about it and am curious, could you direct me to their site or something?

Date: 2005-02-04 03:27 pm (UTC)
From: [identity profile] whitevanilla.livejournal.com
Awesome! I think I will have to check that out more!

Here's a link to The Daily Show's site. I'm sure you can probably find some videos, etc. there.

I'm afraid the bandwith didn't like the download. Franckly, I don't really know. I mean, how can the link go stale after only two downloads? Isn't is supposed to hold even if the file is 350MB? I mean it was disappointing, you know? I uploaded the damn thing for like 24 hours to share it with several people on my flist and nothing *pout*

YSI being back in order --I think I know what killed it yesterday, at that lol-- I'm uploading the file again anyway. Will share it more discreetly or something maybe *shrug*

I turned to STF instead of YSI and it worked. Only three downloads allowed v 25 but hey, it's something at least, so thanks for the good vibes lol
