Greetings friends!
Just want to let you know that I am working on a zip queue module to make it easier for those of you want to download in mass quantities. You'll be able to zip a maximum of ten episodes a queue (to prevent data corruption, etc) and your queues will be available for a week. You will be charged for all the episodes you've added to your zip queue. You'll be able to change it around until you download your Zip file.

Think I found the bugs related to byteserving. The Zip services should be ready tonight or tomorrow night.

I'm still learning Python as we speak, but so far I've managed to get it to zip a few files on the fly very quickly (everything except for the front-end is based on Java and Python)!

Whoever created Python needs to be cruelly and unusually punished. Python makes me sick. Thanks.
The reason I'm coding this in Python is because my next project requires me to work in Python.

Instead of downloading the normal .AVI file, I would appreciate if everyone downloading an episode uses the experimental zip download. You will see it below the link to the usual file. If I don't hear of any big bugs, I'll open up the zip manager.
Note - this is unstable, may corrupt your download, may cause your babies to cry me a river, and cause certain destruction to your computer. In fact, it might even bring down this server.
This does NOT support resume yet.

Wow - nobody's had problems extracting their zip-on-the-fly yet? Must just be me, then :) But then again, I've been test-downloading many, many times.
Well, once I figure out byteserving, the zipmanager will be ready.

But, but, I like python. :(

Should I act my frustration out on Roliel? :devil
