   Thanks sub,   
      It took close to 24 hours to download the show, and considering all   
   the additional time it would take to get it ready for my friend, I   
   asked him to download and burn it for me.  I have a DL DVD burner at   
   work, but our firewall blocks ports 6881-6999.   
      
   I've been downloading bit torrents for over a year - they are great!   
   I've downloaded tons of live music, tv shows, software, movies, etc. So   
   I hope you check out The Trader's Den - you won't be disappointed!
