Living in Europe, I won't get to see the 4th season on TV til very late,
and anyway translation sucks, so....

*** can somebody pleeease put the eps on some file-sharing network? ***

eDonkey down here is the best (very reliable), but Gnutella is ok too.

Thank you so much.

48 hours?

Try 28. It's almost scary how quickly things are posted to the
newsgroups. The Simpsons, and Family Guy are posted within hours of their
broadcasts in alt.binaries.multimedia...I don't know how they do it.

Still, it'll be nice to add a 'Season 4' folder to my Futurama folder.

I can access to these newsgroups only thanx to my AOL newsreader.
When I open the messages, instead of having the file to download, I have a
strange .txt file...
What do I have to do with that ?
And how to download the files shared on these newsgroups with the newsreader
of AOL ?

I know there's a FAQ for downloading form newsgroups somewhere...and
they all mention AOL.

As far as I know, it's a pain in the butt to decode binaries via AOL's
built-in newsreader software, and you may in fact have to find a free, or
external news-server to browse with some other newsreader software...

But I could be wrong, and I'm sure someone on here will point you in the
right direction.

Heh, I've seen South Park episodes posted literally within minutes after
the show's end.

possible they should at least make sure they're all on the same drugs.

try using a porgram called "grabit"

it connects to mail servers, see the files which can be joind and does it
all for you

Your best bet is to subscribe to a commercial newsgroup company and
then download with Agent or Newsbin Pro etc.

However, you can try this:

Save the gibberish text file that you're getting with the extension
.uue. Then double click it or open it with Winzip. If you have all the
segments, it should decode into an RAR file. When you get all the
RARs, re assemble them with WinRAR.

If each text file is only one segment, you will have to re-assemble
them manually. While theoretically possible, it's not really
practical. Each part of the current Futurama post is 45 segments.

Nope. AOL's news groups can only be accessed with AOL's software.
Their servers are not NNTP compliant.

I missed Futurama on TV, but I've already downloaded it and watched it
less than 7 hours after it started showing here. And it's very good
quality too. AniVCD has done it again.
