Bond Video Club CD's

Welcome to the download page for the Bond Video Club CD's!

System Requirements

RealPlayer 8.x (available from www.real.com
Windows 9x, Windows 2000 or Windows XP
Reasonably powered PentiumII (400Mhz), Pentium MMX (200Mhz) or Mac (233Mhz)

Please note the following:

If your CD-ROM is configured to autolaunch, you will be able to launch the videos from Internet Explorer 4.x or later. If your default browser is Netscape running on Windows XP, launch may not work. This is not a problem with the CD's, but an incompatibility between the Netscape and IE plugins. If you have trouble launching the videos from your browser, you can manually launch them from Windows Explorer.
If you are concerned about the spyware installed by the free version of RealPlayer, consider installing an anti-spyware solution before installing RealPlayer. My favorite is the free Ad-Aware Personal but there are several others worth taking a look at. You can run the spyware scan after installing RealPlayer to remove spyware without losing the ability to play the videos.

Ordering CD's

I am unfortunately no longer able to offer this service. I took on some extra responsibilities during the last few months and I thought I would be able to keep up -- I was wrong, and the result of my mistake is a few very unhappy customers.

I will continue to maintain this page for those of you who are willing to download the videos. To those of you that I've disappointed, I'm truly sorry.

Downloading the videos

Before starting your download, please take time to read the following rules as a courtesy to both me and other downloaders. You should also review the FAQ for important information about video quality.

These files are very large and will take a considerable amount of time to download depending on the currently available bandwidth and the speed of your Internet connection. In order to be fair to me and other downloaders, please be considerate.

DO NOT download entire CD's if your Internet connection is not broadband (fast DSL or cable). I'm sure there's someone on one of the Bond lists who would offer to burn a set of CD's for you. If you find someone to make you a copy, DO offer to pay them for their time. When I was providing a CD service from this site, $5.00 was considered a fair price.
DO NOT download more than one file at a time. If I notice any offenders when the server is busy, I will not hesitate to terminate your connection or block you permanently.
DO NOT download an entire CD if you just need one or two videos.
DO NOT continue downloading videos if your download times are considerably lower than the numbers listed in the table below. Slower download times most likely mean the server is being over-worked and you should try again later if at all possible. The first three CD's and some of the files are also available from www.bluevine.net. There is also a FAQ for this site.

NOTICE: On May 21, I enabled bandwidth throttling for the downloads. Under normal conditions, you should see no difference in your download speed. If there are several people attempting downloads at the same time, you may see a page asking you to try again later. If you find that you are unable to download after several attempts at different times of the day, please contact the site owner using the Feedback link at the bottom of this page.

You may have difficulty downloading files during the one or two days immediately following news group postings that mention this site -- this causes an excessive amount of traffic as everyone rushes to get their copy.

For the week ending May 22, 2005, the best times to download would have been:

Don't want to stay up all night waiting for a good download window? You may want to try using a download manager. My favorite is GetRight, but there are several available. Most of them will let you schedule downloads to start at a particular time and automatically restart a failed download from wherever it left off.
