Can any Orb fans help a fella out?

He must have thought there was something smelt a bit fishy upon purchase,no?

I have to get my porn from more disposable sources such as Youporn.com because my daughter is using Utorrent now,also..on my laptop.Careful,is the watchword...

Honestly,the fuckin sacrifices I have to make would break a lesser man.

Got three seasons of The Wire dowloaded,but not had time to make a start watching them yet..

not sure since demonoid died.

piratebay mininova uknova box.bz

get the big finish audios too, fuckin great particularly (the entirely Doctor free) Dalek Empire.

I've been mostly going through mininova Steve,and I love Doctor Who,but I'm a far cry from sitting at home in just my Sylvester Mcoy tracksuit,listening to fucking audio stuff

Did Peter Davidson have owt to do with the Daleks? Infact can you,or would you list any and all Dalek and Doctor(minus audio)stuff,so I can have a proper mooch with a view to watching them all for free,Steve? That's the general idea.Thanks in advance

Thanks Doc I'm kind of relieved it's supposed to take that long but i don't think i'll be doing much burning in future .I'll just have to sit at the PC and watch the bloody things.

Don't most DVD players play avi's these days anyways?

I keep converting stuff into mp4 - don't have time to watch much stuff at home so am instead watching things on the iPodicus on the way to work!!!

I don't actually own an iPOD or Zen or anything like that So transferring the films to those kind of things and watching them on the move ain't an option for me at present.

Downloading one film seems to be a major project in itself so i can't begin to imagine downlaoding 5 series of soemthing like The Wire.. how many hours is that?

Also i don't have much room left on my hard drive to store much .Intending to get an external hard drive ASAP.

Dwonloaded No Country For Old Men , I Am Legend (just to see if it was any good - no.) , Cloverfield and have an ETA of under one hour for Alien VS Predator Requiem.These downloads seem to be playing havoc with my PC though.Had a right old session getting rid of Spyware the last night.Hmmm...

My kid keeps attempting to download'I am legend' I keep deleting it No Will Smith in this household,I'm afraid.You've just confirmed my suspicions Johnny! Charlton Heston in Omega Man was the original,and still the best..And ALI,Muhammed was the original and still the best,not William 'Boom Boom I'm a cock'Smith in either instance

the very first scenes when he's driving around an empty New York - yeah the images of an overgrown empty New York were fairly impressive but Smith just didn't convince me from the off there.And the 'Dark Seekers' (?) the zombie -like rabies -like victims of the gone wrong cancer cure that only come out in the night are shite! Cack Americanised version of the stiffs in 28 Days /Weeks later.They just try to look angry and menacing when they give out the obligatory "ROAAARRR!!!!! " but i just weren't havin it

Finished downloading Alien VS Predator Req but password required How do i get round that then?

One thing after another with this torrent lark ain't it

Thanks in advance

on second thoughts , it's probably a dodgy virus d/l so reckon i'll delete the bastard

Dead impressive, the way they did a decayed New York.

Anyone remember Day of the Triffids on the BBC? At the end of that they had an overgrown Piccadilly Circus. It just looked like someone had taken a pic of the area through a len which they'd smudged with green paint!

Not sure if i remember that but i recall a Quatermass episode - think it was in a second series in the late 70s rather than the original 60s series- where there was scenes in an overgrown long decayed Wembley Stadium.That idea was kind of copied in 28 Weeks Later when the girl and the boy have to get to the New Wembley , which is shown as now overgrowing, to catch the helicopter ride out of Britain

Arrgghhh!!! Don't ruin it. That adaptation scared the shit out of me when it first aired, and I've been too scared to go back since.....

First, don't sneer at the audioplays, they're far better than the telly stuff, better effects you see. ( AND Dalek Empire has Gareth Thomas in itt (Blake from Blake's 7), FFS mate, what more do you want.

From memory, the tv eps......

Hartnell: The Daleks Dalek invasio Earth 2150AD The Chase The Dalek Masterplan (presaged by "mission to the unknown" also called "the dalek cutaway", a single episode with no Dr, just daleks and their "allies" planning shit.)

Troughton: Power of the Daleks Evil of the Daleks (and a Cameo in The War Games)

Pertwee: Planet of the Daleks Day of the Daleks Death to the Daleks.

The real Doctor: Genesis of the Daleks (best ever) Destiny of the Daleks (incoherent pish written by some twat who knows nowt)

Davidson: Resurection of the Daleks

C.Baker: Revalation of the Daleks

McCoy: Rememberance of the Daleks.

McGann: none in video

Eccleston: Dalek Bad Wolf Parting of the Ways

Tennant: Army of Ghosts Doomsday Daleks in Manhattan (featuring my fantasy scene of an American giving a retarded Hollywood speech to a Dalek, with the inevitable consequences).

BTW: Re: Quatermass.....the one yous are talking about was The Quatermass Conclusion, and had John Mills. It was late 70's and the fourth Quatermass tv show (quatermass expt, quatermass II, Quatermass and the Pit (ALL better than the Hammer movie versions)).

Thanks for that Cambo,We'll see how I get on

Incidently,the one you said is the shits,'Destiny of the Daleks' is the only one that seems to be coming in at any sort of speed or availabilty..effin typical eh?

Plenty of others to sift through there though,ta mate

Hmmmmm Threat of Broadband disconnection for illegal d/loading

Christ !

I don't wanna turn e-mule off, thats where i get all my porn

Well it's over. I was watching Control but it was bringing back too many memories so I took it off and I am now marvelling at the retro twangerry of the Orb's Adventures in Ultraworld, which I have finally managed to convert to DVD. It's been a long journey and I can't say it's been easy. However, what doesn't kill you will make you stonger and I think I am a better man for the experience. Delighted as I am, it wouldn't be right for me to let this occasion pass without relecting on the journey I have taken to this point in my life and to thank the following people, whithout whom I would not have acheived so much in so little time.

Firstly, Johnny and Doctor?, for providing the technical support without which I wouldn't have even started on my quest, and for their encouragement without which I would have given up.

Secondly, Nick and the other posters on this thread, whose reminicences kept me going through the dark times. Without this support I would surely have given up on several occasions.

Scottish Hydroelectric have provided the many gigawatts of power that have allowed me to leave my computer on 24/7 whilst this was downloading. Similar thanks to my ISP, for the many terrabytes of bandwidth they continue to provide. Thanks guys.

Thanks to my wife, for leaving me. If she was still here I wouldn't have been able to spend all those long evenings sitting in front of the computer scratching my head and wondering what was going on.

I'd also like to thank my sponsors; Dell Computers, Pot Noodle and crisps.

Finally: my fans. You all know who you are, but you may not know how much it has helped me to know that you have been following my quest.

My success is your success.

Thank you all and no you can't have a fucking copy.

Quality Rev!

Great to hear you got there in the end dude

Agree re the "what doesn't kill you makes you stronger"

It's taken me years to get my head round utorrents and just as i finally have , erm , it's in the news today about clamping down and closing Broadband connections for illegal downloading

What a rollercoaster of emotions... Have to say, I was worried for you, Rev... But glad you made it through in the end... I'm sure everyone who has caught a glimpse of your struggles will sleep soundly knowing that your quest is over...

Inspired by Al and Nick, I've got a load of Modern Toss on myPod.

Might be useful tomorrow night

Don't forget me Dude !

What happened to your old Ditital Mike avatar?

That's one of my earliest NOOL memories.

Where did you get that from?

Mildly pissed off by the non presence of Pommes Fritz Meat and Veg on it :(

Here Col, turn your hi-fi up REALLY loud and stick Oxbow Lakes on. Start filling the insurance claim out while you're listening.

Dug out my old copy of Orbus Terravum the other day to check out Oxbow Lakes and the disc is ruined.It's gone all rusty kind of looking :\ohwell:

Fire up the Soulseek then

Same thing happened to mine - well not the rusty-looking bit, but it still refused to play after a good few years of being neglected...

Absolutely nothing would surprise me!!

And which bit of advice are you referring to? The bit about the blunt instrument, or the bit about the advantages of living in Belfast?
