I'm very new to Blender, but I feel you got me swimming in the deep end already. Well, I'm still breathing anyway! Thanks for those basics videos. Invaluable. Apollos,

It took 10 hours and 25 minutes. Now I just need to chuck my Part 2 AVI and replace that with its MOV equivalent. Download successful! It took 10 hours and 25 minutes.

Thus far, my experiences with download managers have been, shall I say, somewhat less than desirable! One memorable failed download was an attempt to get the 817MB Microsoft Flight Simulator demo: http://www.microsoft.com/games/flightsimulatorx/downloads.html#trial . Everything went just fine for a few days, pausing and resuming flawlessly. I think I got as far as about 600MB then for some reason it wouldn't go any further. AARGH! :( Anyway, I'll give IDA a go sometime and hope it works better than GetRight ( http://www.getright.com/ ) which is supposed to be quite good, judging from various reviews I read on it. Gotta run now... need to start downloading Blender Basics Part 5! LOL Thanks for the tip on IDA, Appollos.

Just to note, I recommend a download manager for dialup. I use IDA (Internet Download Accelerator) and it works great, allowing me to start and stop at will. It also has speed control, so you can set it to trickle, and you can download stuff in the background while still using the web. abajan, thanks for reminding me — I need to upload that video while I have access to a fast connection.

They're much sharper and brighter (at least on my monitor) than the other formats. That's why I was pleased as punch to learn that Part 5 can be downloaded as a single MOV file (with chapters) from http://www.river-valley.tv/video_tutorials/blender/ . Of course, my only problem is deciding on a good time to download it because (like you) I'm on dial-up. Methinks I'll give it a go tonight around 8 O'clock after temporarily disabling call waiting, so it's not interrupted. Hopefully, it completes by 6 tomorrow morning. Dial-up is the pits! At any rate, it'll be months before I get around to practicing the stuff featured in Part 5. I did a cursory run through of all the videos and they all look very interesting indeed. But I'm really still only at Part 1 and probably will be for weeks before moving on. I really want to soak in the concepts instead of rushing.

Looking forward to seeing you on the forums. The Man has nothing on us. :wink: Ninja Krow, thanks for a great write up! 8)
