    The movie is cool, but if everyone grabs it from the web server, I doubt it will last long, so please grab it from Freenet rather than getting them from the website. I have mirrored it here (install and run Freenet before clicking on the link):

    ok, maybe I just have a really bad sense of humor, but whatever.

    the link is actually correct, once you've installed freenet on your machine. in fact, all requests to freenet point to 127.0.0.1, there's a daemon that creates a server listening on that port, that goes and downloads the content and feeds it back to your web-browser. it's pretty damn cool actually :)
