oh man, you haven't read it? Missed out BIG time!!!! It's pure genious in every syllable! You really should check the library for it (it's very famous). only a short book, you can read in a few hours.

This is my favorite passage:
"What are you doing there?" he asked the drunkard, whom he found sunk in silence before a collection of empty bottles and a collection of full ones.
"Drinking," replied the drunkard, with a gloomy expression.
"Why are you drinking?" the little prince asked.
"To forget," replied the drunkard.
"To forget what?" enquired the little prince, who was allready feeling sorry for him.
"To forget that I'm ashamed," confessed the frunkard, hanging his head.
"What are you ashamed of?" enquired the little prince, who wanted to help.
"Of drinking!" concluded the drunkard, withdrawing into silence for good.
And the little prince went on his way, puzzled.
Grown-ups are certainly very, very strange, he said to himself as he continues on his journey.
Ahh.. no offence, but you are a robot, aren't you?

I've recently made 341 MB rips (13 eps = 1 DVD-R) of season 1 for me. If there's interest, I could release them sometime.

Res 640x480 Xvid@ ~1500 kbits.

I'm certain there would be a lot of interest, on ed2k as well as on BT.

Well, TBH it is a little overkill but I originally made the rips for myself. I wanted to have the entire season on 1 disc without wasting space so I sized them accordingly. IIRC the rips have some sort of monophonic AC3 ( :wacky: ) which I also kept, simply because transcoding to MP3 saved only ~15 MB. Given the relatively large filesizes and that any transcoding is bound do degrade quality at least a little, I kept the original audio and only used some noise filtering on the video which is very grainy on the DVDs.

A4AF = Asked for another file. The reds you're getting are normal when DLin' longer list of files that might have sources but are (sources) used to DL other files. You get to DL only one file per connected client at any time. So if you, say, DL 30 episodes (as it happens to be in this case) of some series and there are 10 people with complete sources or at least some chunks of what you need to DL, first few DLs in queue will typically use up all that sources until other files advance in queue. It all depends on what type of eMule mod (if any) you're using and how it's configured. Default behavior is "balanced queue" so you should get pretty good idea if files you try to DL do have complete sources in a few hours time, sometimes even days (once they complete internal "rotation"). "Morpheus" mod has plenty of options to change this default behavior, however I wouldn't recommend it just to anybody, as proper configuration can get quite tricky. For advanced users only!!! If you do wish to try it then I'd recommend copying all the files of current installation to another location. Hope this helps.
