For the uninitiated, DAP Central is a fantastic eDonkey server dedicated to full length DVD copies of MST3K episodes! While you may need Lenhartian or Breslerian intellect to actually understand how it works, basically it goes like this: download eDonkey 2000; then follow the steps on DAP central on how to set up on their private server. You have two options when downloading files: compressed AVI files suitable for viewing on a computer or true DVD files, which you must download in chunks. A free program called image burn will cobble the pieces together and voila! Instant (well, not so instant) DVD!Since my laptop has an S-video out component, I burn the AVIs to disc and watch them on my TV (if your TV doesn't have an S-video in, you can buy an s-video-to-AV wire input adapter).
The bottom line: if you're up for trading episodes, let me know. So far I have Jack Frost and Gamera vs. Zigra from DAP, but I also have Pod People, Space Mutiny, Cave Dwellers, and the complete season 7 on DVD. If enough people have interest, I'll set up a simple trading page on my web site.
