Cheers! The server host item is now a moot point. All web services (including downloads) are now hosted in one place thanks to LTT. BitTorrent was used a while ago when the higher res episodes were still only a special treat. Unfortunately it's a not a service we are able to provide as it requires constant seeding by volunteers. Although HF enjoys a certain popularity, it's not high enough to ensure the torrents would remain self seeding for any decent length of time. Also, technology has moved on a bit since then and we believe the direct download or online streaming options are the preferred method for most of the audience. |

I shall put these answers in the hopper and throw it up on the Wiki sometime later this evening. It is now officially "martini time". Thanks for your help! |
