I figured out Usenet just to download the EditDroid Holiday Special. It’s definitely worth it. I was on Windows 10. Here’s a brief summary of what I did.

  1. Make a free account on XSUsenet: https://www.xsusenet.com/ (It’s slow but will get the job done)

  2. XSUsenet will email you username and password

  3. Download Grabit: http://www.shemes.com/ (This is what’s called a “newsreader” application)

  4. When you install Grabit, it will prompt you to enter a server name, as well as username and password.
    For server, Enter: free.xsusenet.com
    For username/password, enter the info XSUsenet emailed to you

  5. Go to the site www.binsearch.info, Search “Star Wars Holiday Special”

  6. The first result will be what you’re looking for.
    It will read: “The Star Wars Holiday Special - EditDroid - [000/165] - “Star Wars Holiday Special - EditDroid.nzb” yEnc (1/3)”

  7. In the box for this entry, there will be a link labelled “collection”. Click this

  8. Once the collection page loads, click “Inverse”, then “Create NZB”. This will download a .nzb file that points to all of the files in the “collection”. (From what I understand, a .nzb file is kind of like a torrent file)

  9. Load the .nzb file with Grabit. If everything is done correctly, Grabit should start downloading files from the collection.
