i'm sorry that my upload speed is so slow. but, 60+ leechers, plus 75 torrents uploading, and a mere upload speed of 30 kbps = a while to get this torrent. please be patient. u'll see, as those with my rescue me torrents, that it will be worth the time. thanks.

this isn't on me any longer. this torrent has been finished 90x, yet only 16 other people are helping me seed. thanks leechers. ur seriously making me re-think about posting with the pirate bay.

I swear that I´ll seed for a long time. It´s a service to the community to help distribute this piece of art and history.
Thanks for the upload!

Only 2 of the 7 Videos actually work for me. Part 2 and Part 3 work. The other 5 either don't load at all, or load and play some audio, or load and run as if they are playing but with no audio or video. Do you know of anybody else with this problem? There were no problems downloading and I have tried everything.

it must be ur codec and/or player.

Good series, thank you.

rjsmith358 is right. there are issues with some of the episodes playing. i'm using mpc and divx 6.9 at the moment, and it seems to hang when starting to play. i found that opening in virtual dub and then saving with direct stream copy seems to fix it. you must have bad headers, bro.

rjsmith358 is absolutely right. I downloaded these and burned straight to DVD and tried to watch on DVD player and only episodes 2 and 3 worked. 1,4,5,6,7 ALL DO NOT WORK! DO NOT download this if you are burning to DVD. It may work if you watch on PC but most of us still use DVD players so probably best not to waste broadband usage downloading this........

P.S, to be honest, at nearly 2 hours per episode it's not too great of a watch anyway...some fantastic footage but a bit of a yawn factory hearing from the families and friends of the soldiers time and time again and it's only about America's conflicts during WW2, not exactly the best ww2 doco around that's for sure.

my anti virus sounded when i started to DL this...not sure if it was coindence or not

In response to the criticisms: 1) I did not make these rips, I only compiled them into one torrent; 2) they all play perfectly fine. If you are experiencing playback difficulties, then I kindly suggest using VLC player instead of the one you are using; & 3) if you don't have anything BUT criticisms, without any helpful suggestions/fixes, then STFU. I did this to be nice, not get verbally bitch-slapped by a bunch of ignorant whiners.

Sure, slam the upload because all you know is "write files to DVD". Oh and why not read about how this series focuses on the impact of the war on the communities back in the US and views the war from a US citizen point of view? Nah, slam the upload again because it's not an action gun fest.
