In case lurkers are dissuaded from downloading the Cosmos files by an
observation you made in that tortuous "fort" thread launched
innocently by "sad"...( a mistaken belief held even by the
indefatiguable Cosmos himself)........
You erroneously stated :-
"In that way they are posting zip files......... One would have to
have all the parts of a zip to see what's inside. "
Which, I'm happy to remark, is not true.
You need, as I have done every time, to d/l only one rar file of the
20 or so in the complete collection, & Winrar will happily unzip its
contents which, apart from its very last segment, you can individually
sit back & watch. In the last collection Cosmos dispatched, I was able
to see a lad climbing his way up a tree in some eight stages.
The sole reason I have bothered to make this comment is the one
stated in my opening paragraph.
