I'd already downloaded all of the files by the time the page went down, so I've made my own torrent of them now.

AndyF, what's with the jealousy-making sans method for doing likewise?

I got them... but, I did have to do some looking around to find them, it seems they changed the directory name that the files are located in, breaking the links... all I had to do was delete parts of the url until I got the directory listing to get them all!

Amazing sci-fi technology indeed. Perhaps they should have just done like the cool guys, and made a deal with The Pirate Bay to distribute their bits and pixels.

I managed to get the full first two seasons before the hosting server melted a hole in the floor (or they were pulled).

It does appear to be duplicated from some sort of tape (perhaps a master?) as there are a few bits where the tracking goes out etc.

Yeah, they've taken the downloads down again on account of how they apparently didn't expect many people to, you know, download them.

I got three episodes; after that the clogged server was only sending me a few kilobytes per second so I stopped trying, seeing as I do actually already have this show in about four formats already :-).

Perhaps someone's mirrored or torrented the iPhone-format files; I'll have a look around.
