As for those of you asking about how to get this edit...
I see Chrille and Kurgan beat me to the punch while I was typing up this insanely long answer... oh well. As has been indicated, everything you need to know about getting this edit can be found on the preceding pages of this thread. That being said, I suppose 197 pages is a lot to read through, so for those who are too lazy and/or inept to do so, here’s a quick “how to” guide:
To obtain this edit via torrent:
1) Go to a site such as bittornado.com or utorrent.com and download the software needed to grab torrents (there are others, but these two are the ones I’m most aware of).
2) Once the software is installed, go to this site (which Molly posted back on page 153 of this thread), and click on the entry with the title "Star Wars Revisited-Adywan-XviD."
3) Click "Download This Torrent" at the top of the page, and save the file "Star_Wars_Revisited-Adywan-XviD.torrent" to your hard drive.
4) Double click on the file once it's downloaded, and your torrent software should launch. Simply choose a folder/destination for the file, click OK, and you're off to the races.
5) Once your torrent is fully downloaded, it is asked that you remain online at least until your upload ratio is equal to what you downloaded (i.e., if you downloaded 1.66 GB, you should remain online until you’ve uploaded 1.66 GB – this is what is known as “seeding” a file)
To obtain this edit via news groups:
1) Go to a news group site such as giganews.com or usenet.com (I haven’t used news groups before, but from what I understand, unless there’s a free trial period, you’ll have to buy at least one month’s worth of service, which could cost anywhere from $5 to $25).
2) From here, having never used news groups, I’m not sure what you do… I think you can search for the file in question, download it in multiple parts, then unpack the files with a program such as winRAR. It would be best to ask another forum member what exactly to do if you choose to go this route.
To obtain this edit via rapidshare:
1) Post a request in the thread asking for a forum member to PM (private message) you a link to the appropriate rapidshare link. (Note: make sure your “Allow Private Message” option is set to “ON” in your profile).
2) From here, simply follow the link provided and begin downloading the file (not having used rapidshare for this edit, I’m not sure if the file will come as a single .avi file or in multiple parts such as with news groups)
To obtain this edit via PIF:
If all else fails, those of you who are not tech-savvy can put your name down to become part of a PIF (Pay It Forward) chain. In doing this, you will eventually be mailed a hard copy of the file on DVD, at which point you are expected to burn a minimum of three more copies yourself and mail them off to the next people in the chain.
I hope this helps those of you having difficulty obtaining this edit. I wish I could have provided more info on the news groups and rapidshare options, but as I said, I haven’t used either one yet, so the only one I’m really familiar with is the torrent method. Although slower than newsgroups, it is free.
Lastly, once you’ve downloaded the .avi, you can convert it to DVD format for playback on your DVD player using such programs as WinAVI or avi2dvd.
Good luck.
