On my good wyfe's machine, we've been using various Gnutella clients for
file snatching. LimeWire is quite good, BearShare has the slickest
interface, but they try to install some nasty little spyware programs,
too. Good thing I have ipfilter on my FreeBSD box.

But anyway, to get back to the point, which was Red Dwarf...I've had no
luck finding Red Dwarf video on GnutellaNet. If anyone has any for
download, I'd be real appreciative if they'd let me know off-list!

I found some REd Dwarf VHS tapes while Crispness Shopping, but they
wanted $21.95 US each!! GAck! Isn't price gouging like that almost an
invitation for people to try and obtain the goods through alternative
means?
