Given how much I appreciate what you and others have posted, it makes
me feel good to be able to return the favor.
Fortunately, there's a lull in what we want to download and watch.
Likewise, we're back to spending time and working outdoors so I'm
spending less time (and bandwidth) researching topics on the 'net/web.
Both of these factors reduce our current demand on bandwidth, freeing
up enough of the resource to allow uploading these comfortably.
(Demand has gone back up slightly due to the three missing episodes you
uploaded ... but it's all good from my perspective.)
Please note that these were downloaded from Usenet several years ago,
possibly from this newsgroup.
BTW, the "kiddies" at our ISP killed the upload three times while I was
uploading that first episode. Not because what I was uploading or the
fact I was uploading something but because they (again) trying to learn
their jobs "on the customer's dime."
They typically do their yoyo-ing customers' connections between 6 PM
and midnight local time (AST/ADT) on weekdays and anytime on weekends.
(The company obvious cares less about retail customers, while wondering
why so many people are switching to their competitor's cable system.
So, I'll upload episodes outside their "playtime" when I'm more likely
to finish an upload cleanly, without interruptions.
S02E01 is done uploading. Given the upload interruptions, I'd
appreciate knowing that someone has downloaded and viewed successfully.
Enough nattering ... hi-ho, hi-ho, it's off the work I go ...
