A Photorealistic CGI TV Series Coming Real Soon Now

Looks pretty cool, better than those CGI cartoons I've seen - although definitely not even Final Fantasy quality. Note - apparently the DivX version was encoded using a weird codec that doesn't work on all players, so you might be better off getting the Quicktime version."
I managed to get the file, so here's a mirror using BitTorrent. If you don't know what BitTorrent is, first go to the BT site and download and install the client (Windows/OSX/Unix versions available).

Please keep your BT window open for as long as possible (at least an hour or two) after your transfer completes. Thanks!

Seeing as Babelfish is kinda impossible to use on this one, I thought I'd post a translation for those who are not fluent in German.

Hmm, sounds a bit like Wheel of Time to me. (and possibly a hundred other books)
