    No HBO here.

    For my NNTP buddies, the files already posted at .ath, .triballs, .test, .ftd, and warez.quebec-hackers are all confirmed bogus by me. Feel free to check for yourself, though. As for me, I'm going to hit the sack and try again in the early morning, mainly because I have Giga and my window is likely to be brief.

    Try alt.binaries.etc and files posted by Brian. Just download headers for the last 2 days (since it's after midnight). The files are obscured. You have to launch the PAR2 files to see what is being posted. You also have to let the PAR2 file convert the obscured file to the actual file name or they won't extract. It will be posted by him every week. Also haunt alt.binaries.teevee for reposts and for other shows. If need be I am willing to upload episode one using an encrypted RAR.

    Tried to send PM but your mail box is full.

    [316915] is x264

    [316909] is 720p

    Interesting. I work under Ubuntu using PyPar2 and Ark. In my ecosystem, PyPar2 reports all files as bad with insufficient repair files present. However, it does it in an odd manner; it instantly reports the results, as well as the correct filenames, without taking any time to chew on the files. As I've learned from past experience, I can just feed those "bad" files, with their obscured names, into Ark and get a perfect result, renamed and (optionally) sorted into named folders based on the titles used.

    It's amazing, sometimes, how differently things operate depending on what software is in play.

    So long as you get a good result. That's what matters.

    What did y'all make of the premiere? Label posts with spoilers for those who watch a day after

    My no-spoiler impression?

    • Some things I expected didn't happen. Well, the big thing that I think everyone expected didn't happen. That's not a spoiler; things could still change.
    • I appreciated that there were no giant left turns, nothing insane happened. Yes, people die but none of them are folks you didn't already know were going to buy the farm. If you had seen this episode tacked immediately onto the end of the last season finale, it would have seemed like a perfectly reasonable single episode that just went extra long.
    • Finally, the whole episode seemed to take 10 minutes. My personal touchstone for good TV is when an hour of TV seems to be over in 10 minutes, I was *really* involved.

    Kit Harington has not had to work very hard so far this season.

    SPOILER ALERT!






























    DubiousDan's post is somewhat less true than it was last week. Yes!
