A user that I will leave unnamed, private messaged me links to a website that appears to be a cloud storage site called "MEGA" that holds all the .rar files of the SWHS WHIO version discs 1 & 2.

I got a problem though. My ISP Comcast/xFinity (xFaility) is throttling my download of this to just a little under 100 KB/s even though my connection should be capable of at least 1MB/s. I've had this problem before downloading torrent, but it would usually only happen towards the very end of the download so I didn't mind it that much. This one is happening right away. Do you now if there is a way around this?

I just downloaded Binreader. Could you private message me how to use this thing? It looks like I upload nzb files to it and then it finds the files and downloads them. Is that correct?

I'm new to this whole file sharing/torrent thing. I don't download very often as I like to buy my media legally. Unfortunately for The Star Wars Holiday Special and original Star Wars Trilogy, I don't have a choice.

I thought 7-zip was just for .zip files? I thought I would need WinRAR to combine/extract .rar files? I bought WinRAR years ago and the product key has never failed to rework when I have ported it onto new PC builds. That's why I never delete emails. You never know when they will come back in handy.
