Well I might look into these at some point. Unfortunately I don't
really have enough space on my computer to download many films,
particularly on these P2P networks because being incredibly slow you
need to run them for ages and add lots of files to make it
worthwhile, also my CD writer is on it's last legs at the moment,
I'm getting focus errors and it will only run at about 8x speed
although it's supposed to be 52x LOL. So it's not easy for me to
free up space on the hard disks I really need to upgrade my system I
now have more CDs than the floppy disks I used to have and can't
find anything which is why I bought a CD writer in the first place.
So it's probably time to buy a DVD writer LOL :) --

I have watched the Christopher Dunn video about his talk on his
Giza Power Plant ideas. He starts off very slow, but he does make a
good
presentation later, that is hard to flaw.

Well yes it does sound and interesting film. Thanks for the links btw :)

I know about the problem with CDs being everywhere and not knowing
what
is on them, etc etc. I use a program SuperCat, which helps
tremendously.

Well I did start out with good intentions and I used to have a program that
could list all the files on a CD in HTML format, and I'd number the disks
etc but this sort of went by the board after about the 3rd CD 150 CDs later
and I wish I'd kept up this cataloguing LOL :)

Now DVD blank media is so cheap, and the DVDwriters too, that it is
worthwhile upgrading.

Yes they've gone down in price quite a bit

I don't know where you are, but broadband is certainly more affordable
now, and it's a matter of finding a broadband service which suits what
you want to do with it.

Well no problems with my connection speed. I have 2mb cable BB ...

With filesharing networks, you're never going to use the fastest speed
possible, me thinks? So I use an unlimited download option with a much
slower broadband speed - but it does take days to download a 700 meg
file.

Yes that's the problem. No problem downloading from a good connection and if
a film is very popular, such as blockbuster movies since they only take
about an hour. But I don't really leave the P2P software running all the
time because it does use a lot of system resources particularly with
broadband because people can download files from me pretty fast as well, but
anything that takes days to download, well I haven't got the patience to be
honest :)

My only option is to have it running overnight.
I can send you a DVD with all these files on it, just drop me an
email.
Search Goggle for HawkQuest and you'll find my email address there?
Hope I updated it? As I changed ISPs a few times. It's at ihug.co.nz
now. I actually will put it on as a standard DVD, so that a standard
DVD player can play them.
If you can read DVDs on your PC, I can send them in their original
state (Can fit more onto a DVD that way).

Thanks I should be able to download some of these though, just need patience
really :)

While I cannot set up a repository, to have all these files at one
place - it would be worthwhile to make a list of the worthwhile
videos/authors/books to spend time on.

Yes

I am not really keen on the NWO (New World Order) material -
although I do recognise the importance of checking out conspiracy
material. There are definitely people on the wrong trail, or things
which are too far out, to be ever able to prove.
I need something very definite to convince me, that it is simply not
a disinformation trail set up on purpose, to draw attention from the
real issues at hand.

I've seen some of that material on Winamp. IMO A lot of it is propaganda and
there will always be people who will spread propoganda, even total lies.

What I have mentioned of late - as regards specific videos/etc
do present clear evidence for their views.

Interesting enough, what Chris Dunn says - ties in with what the
Plejarens/Billy Meier have been saying. Also with the other material
I mentioned of late.

I do know the problems with using an old PC, trying to upgrade it,
and then eventually having to move onto a new PC altogether.

Well my system isn't too bad . But one could always do with a bigger and
better system :)
