Thumbs up

Dude, it's a monster! Besides, although I have the large .MPG file mine doesn't have the English translations. Brad has done a very good job with his Flash versions of the file and they're smaller in file size so you might want to download that one.

About a year ago I donated about $10 to the website http://www.alizee-fanpage.com/ and gained access to their FTP server where many videos of Alizee reside. I don't know if the website still grants this type of access but it's worth a look. If they do still offer access (after a donation) the password is time sensitive (a few days) so download like hell! I downloaded everything offered the very first night, about 13 Gigabytes if I remember correctly.

I personally use USENet and P2P programs to download videos. If you know how to use USENet (AKA the NewsGroups) the best Newsgroup to download videos from is: alt.binaries.mpeg.video.music. Right now, there is an Alizee flood of videos going on.

Although there are other newsgroups for downloading videos, the one listed above seems to be the best. If you use a premium USENet service like GigaNews.com then the retention rate (days videos are available for download) will be a very long time. I think GigaNews retains their postings for about 2 months or so.

The best program that I've found for downloading from the Newsgroups is called "NewsBin Pro." It's available from http://www.newsbin.com/ (don't confuse it with Newzbin.com.) You'll also need to use WinRAR, http://www.rarlab.com/, it's easy to use and competes with WinZIP but has better file compression. You can also go to http://www.findfreefiles.com/ and take 2 free lessons (Flash videos) on how to use the Newsgroups (they use NewsRover.) You'll have to subscribe to the website to be able to view the other lessons.

Hope this helps.
