    Sir Arlen says he has obtained the US copyright for distributing these copies of the (Danish?) set. The language is English, with no subtitles or closed captions.

    If you're thinking of ordering the set from him, please ask him how many of the 91 episodes have complete ending credits. The answer is 20 if he hasn't improved on the set he sent me. I figure the ending credits are important for decompressing after an episode. I need the whole musical finale, right down to the final chord. Can you imagine listening to the end but in the last measure, a second or two from the end, it just STOPS? In mid-chord! A few of them do that. Most stop considerably earlier, often not even listing all the guest cast. I complained, he said "I didn't think anyone was interested in the credits — sorry." He must be an unmusical person.

    afraid this didn't work — twice it appeared to be uploading fine but in
    the middle the browser screen went blank except for "Server Hangup".
    I'll try again with a faster connection.

    It isn't cheating to use your subtitles but to make it harder I won't
    say episode/time where this came from. I don't have subtitles, I really
    don't know what is being said in several places, and I bet you will tell
    me. I know what Elizabeth says, what does MacCaulay say? See files

    This might be of interest.

    https://mega.co.nz/

    Offers 50 GB of free storage space with good up/down speed.

    Uploaded files are encrypted and only the user holds the decryption keys. No
    one else including mega knows what the files are.

    The unique encripted key which is only present on your computer can be sent
    to anyone anywhere in the world with an internet connection so they can
    download your file(s)

    I have not tried the service myself yet but have heard good thing about it
    from some people on various boards.

    Another place to try is Dropbox. When you upload there you just provide the link for the file to anyone you want to download it.

    Trying to upload a file that size to the Yahoo! Group would probably fill all available space in the Files section!

    OK, I understand NOT to attempt putting Running Tides in the file area.
    I've used dropbox to retrieve files, but to upload them I think I have
    to first download a 30 meg install, not practical here. Mega does not
    require any download I think, that might work but I'm not going to try
    it immediately.

    And with the captchas I was thinking about (~500KB videos to get people
    to decipher unclear words for me) so far every one I've tried to put in
    shape for uploading — I figure it out in the process! Probably more
    practical, if I can't figure something out, is to ask here with Series-
    Number min:sec coordinates.
