fiona Posted February 12, 2004 Share Posted February 12, 2004 They are in separate files so they are more manageable to download. They are a compressed archive split into different files and when you run the self extractor (file 1 with an .exe extension) you will end up with one movie file. If you use a download manager such as GetRight you can schedule the full set of files to download. If you try to download all at once, they will download more slowly and it's not really worth it, even on broadband. Mine were downloaded automatically 3 at a time until the full set was downloaded. I am on dialup and it took quite a while! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Serial-Cichlid Posted February 12, 2004 Share Posted February 12, 2004 No it's not legal to download. Having said that it's possible to get it from Kazaa but download at your own risk. You'd also want to hurry up as my friend's law firm is heading the charge for trying to bring Kazaa down. Cheers Paul Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There is no way that shutin down kazza is gonn stiop evry1 else from sharing files etc. Get over it. I totally agree with you Here's the SMH article in finer detail: SYDNEY MORNING HERALD (AUSTRALIA) 7th February 2004 RECORD INDUSTRY LAUNCHES RAIDS ON DOWNLOAD GIANT The Australian record industry launched raids on properties in three states yesterday to seize documents owned by the world's biggest internet music-sharing company, Sharman Networks. Sharman is based in Cremorne but runs the Kazaa file-sharing site, the global successor to Napster for the unauthorised swapping of music files. The music industry was granted permission by the Federal Court on Thursday to send in its own investigators. The order included permission to raid the University of NSW, Telstra, Sharman's headquarters in Cremorne and the private homes of Sharman employees. "This is the largest copyright infringement case in Australia," said Michael Speck, the general manager of the piracy arm of the record industry, Music Industry Piracy Investigations (MIPI). "Some 200 million plus illegal or unauthorised music files are transferred or downloaded and distributed each month [with] a value in excess of $200 million each month." Properties linked to an associated company, Brilliant Digital Entertainment in Surry Hills, and BDE's owner, Kevin Bermeister, were also targeted. Industry investigators also swooped on the communications department at Monash University in Melbourne and The University of Queensland. The order allowed for raids on four internet service providers, including Telstra, Mr Speck said. Yesterday's extraordinary action is the latest attempt by the recording industry to stem falling CD sales, which they blame on online file sharing and piracy. Last year, CD sales fell more than 17 per cent. It follows the sentencing of three Sydney students last November for running an MP3 website, and a US court's decision last September to sue 261 music fans. Civil action which begins on Tuesday would not include individual Kazaa users, Mr Speck said. The raids were undertaken by the music industry's lawyers from Gilbert & Tobin and computer forensics investigators from their accountancy firm, Ferrier Hodgson. MIPI is funded by record labels Universal Music Australia, Festival Records, EMI Music Australia, Sony Music Entertainment, Warner Music Australia and BMG Australia, which have all launched proceedings against Sharman and its directors in the Federal Court for copyright infringement. Sharman bought the rights to Kazaa, the file-sharing software, after litigation in the Netherlands. Kazaa is a similar file-sharing system to the pioneer in the business, Napster. A spokeswoman for Sharman, Susanna Jaray, said: "This is a knee-jerk reaction by the recording industry to discredit Sharman Networks and the Kazaa software, following a number of recent court decisions around the world that have ruled against the entertainment industry's agenda to stamp out peer-to-peer technology." Lawyers for the three universities yesterday claimed the Federal Court did not have the power to grant an order for the raids. In a last-minute agreement, an order was made for any information gathered in the raids yesterday to be bound by confidentiality until a further order is made. Music industry analyst Phil Tripp said the case was "certainly the most dynamic, and they better hope they get it right . . . If they've gotten it wrong at all, Kazaa and the individuals that have been affected by this can sue for huge damages for a long time." Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'd certainly hope not otherwise I'd be arrested as well ten times over They just want to go after the big guns to make an example of them. The case has been brought forward and there's not too much we can really do except wait and see the outcome. Cheers Paul Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cannula Posted February 14, 2004 Share Posted February 14, 2004 Personally I use WinMX, think it stands for WINdows Media eXchange. As it isn't as popular as Kazza the record instudtry isn't targeting it, at least not until all the peer to peer progs used more than it are killed. One good thing about it is that it is more secure than Kazza and many others, not likely to get Trogans and general ip attacks. Saying that anyone using any peer to peer software, for that matter even going on the net should have a good firewall and good virus scanner. Personally I use a linux hardware firewall called Smoothwall on a Pentium 233 MMX and Norton Anti-virus 2003 on all other network computers.
