I've been thinking about doing just that, but the problem at the moment is that I have no free disk space. 😛

The eps are 700mb each. If you don't have enough space to download it and then immediately burn it to CD then you might want to invest in a Hard Drive made when dinosaurs didn't roam the earth. Or a DVD burner. 😛

Then again, who wants to lug around 24 CDs just to watch one season?

hmm...700MB isn't bad at all. I actually do have a DVD burner, so I could fit several on a disc. 😛

I'm not completely out of space, I have about 5GB left (out of 160). I'm waiting to find a good deal on 250GB drives (of which I'll likely get two), and also I might wait until I upgrade the rest of my system in a few months.

I'd say get some CD-RWs, burn the eps in sets of 6 to CD-RW, then when you have 6, burn 'em to a DVD5. (6 is all that'll fit)

Though I haven't been keeping up with 24 like I have been with Lost. I never thought there could be a show that could keep me more riveted than 24 until this year.

It's not that hard to find the info if you really want to.

Seeing as how some people forget that 24 is on monday night (the blasphemy!!!) and reading this from the TV section in today's paper:

Fox says this episode is so 'riveting and pivotal' that it will be re-aired on Friday and Sunday.

<--- Can't wait...4 1/2 more hours....

also waiting for Zim's thread...😀

Correction: this episode is so 'unlikely to be seen by any man in this country' thta it will be re-aired on Friday and Sunday.

Torrent downloaded already 😛
