    I believe that some people (myself included) cannot download the files during the weekend, so I'd ask (if possible) that the files (at least part 3 and part 4) are kept till Monday.

    I'd be happy to download from other sources, but the firewall won't let m in Kazaa and such :(
    Of course, if the files should be removed in the meanwhile that will be ok all the same :)

    Thanks :)

                    I was watching the Sopranos tonight on HBO (great show by the way) and I was struck by the resemblance of the character 'Paulie' to Morrissey.

                    This 'Paulie' is sort of older and a little chunkier, but I think when Morrissey ages a little more, he'll look just like this chap.

                                I have been a fan of Moz for what seems to be several (ha) decades now. I know lots of you have heard the rabble over and again from fans across the globe hailing Stephen as a GOD and all, but I'm just here to say that it has been a great pleasure to see the combined efforts of people around EARTH to get this documentary out to the people over the internet. The BitTorrent solution WORKS!

                                Unlike most docs I've seen of stars and such, this was one packed with insight and real depth. You really get a closer look at how Morrissey really is. I can go on and on...

                                Morrissey appeared to be captured this time by the press in a way that didn't make him look petty or obscure like the others I had seen in the past. Some of his friends came up to bat for him this time, in a HUGE way. Hopefully this documentary will further his career a bit. Moz deserves success more than anybody in musical history. Morrissey - There is no equal.

                                Long live morrissey-solo.com - *peace*

It was $20 well spent as I have indeed spent more on lesser quality bootlegs of bands that I like (not just Morrissey, you know). You're taking a lot of flak and I thought I would give the written equvialent of a nod and a wink from a satisfied customer.
