    Good evening everyone,
    I want to write you that some links in the download section are not working. In particular those 5 .wmv Bloodlines videos. They were the only hi-res source of these (unlike the other low-res versions on youtube etc.) and it's a pity to have them lost.
    Links 1 and 2 seems to work, but the resulting videos interrupts abruptly in the middle, links 3 and 4 are plain dead, link 5 you have to edit the link to make it work and the same issue of links 1 and 2 is present.
    Hope that a backup is present somewhere or that it's possible to fix them.
    Best regards.

    The guy who maintains the downloads area, or at least used to... After I posted, I checked and noticed that he hasn't been around in over 3 years. I PM'd him in case he notices that...

    Hi, first video took forever to download but seems to work fine for me. Perhaps it's time to up the download speed? I'll fix the last video link once I sort out my FTP access.

    IIRC the missing videos were reported some time ago, and the files were missing from the server.

    Now that I went on vacation to my aunt (who lives where internet speed isn't a joke) my computer managed to download videos 1, 2 and 5 and, thank goodness, they doesn't block in the middle.
    A pity for videos 3 and 4, we can only hope for someone still having them (and not the low res versions) for reuploading them....
    In any case, thanks :)
