Hi cabville,

Great news! Personally I think electronic (bit torrent) distribution
of (winrar) compressed VIDEO_TS folders is the way to go. We could
start with just the last 4 high quality episodes. If you have an ftp
server I could download the MPEG-2 sources and make them into a bit
torrent of xvid files. Or you could bit torrent the VIDEO_TS folders
yourself if you fancy that, preferably as 4 separate .rar files so
that people can select only the episodes they need and don't have to
download everything in one go.

Either way, in the long term it's faster than you burning and posting
15 DVDs each time. Let me know what you think,

regards,
Pete
