Sidenote on Downloading

Several people have asked me how to download the films I put on this here blog. It's really very simple. I use Rapidshare links, mainly for convenience, and while if you want to download things quickly, you have to purchase credit with their site (it's really not so expensive), it is possible to download for free.
Simple copy and paste the links into a new tab or window, and you'll get two options: Premium User (if you have credits) and Free User.
Clicking on Free User will take you to another page, where after a countdown of one or two minutes, a download button will appear. The downloading speed depends on your server; if you've got plenty of bandwidth it goes pretty fast. Of course, becoming a Premium User allows you to download things much quicker, and many files simultaneously. If you're a Free User, you'll have to wait approximately 15 minutes between downloads. When one file is finished downloading, paste the next link address and repeat. The files will appear in your 'downloads' folder with an .rar extension; simply open the first file and click "extract"--the entire film will extract into whatever folder you save it in. Afterwards you can just delete the individual .rar files, to save space.
Hope this mini-tutorial isn't more confusing, ha! But really, it's not rocket science. And I do recommend purchasing a few euros worth of credit with Rapidshare; it's really time-consuming to have to do it all through the Free User.
Love you!!
