lol ok i will try and explain this the best i can.

1. you have to download a program called azureus or bittorrent, whichever you prefer.

2. install that program.

3. go on that website and click on 1 of the DWTS links and it will go onto another page and will say download. Click download and a box will apear saying open save or cancel click open.

4. it will automatically open into the program you just installed and will give u a estimated time as to how long it will take to download.

5. when it finishes go to the file where u've saved it and there u go enjoy.

Diane1253 has created another account on youtube. No idea how long it will last

Oh thank you so so much. I thought I'd lost this week's Mel and Mak's 2 dances forever. My deep appreciation.

Well deserved high marks once again.

Thank you La Rhumba. Very fair reviews. With regard to Mel's husband. I presume he is a son of 60s carribbean-born singer/actor Harry Belafonte (Oh Island in the Sun....la la la... - can't remember the words). He bears a remarkable, albeit chubbier, resemblance to Harry.

Thank you Vincy! I thought he had a Carribbean look about him, they've been showing him alot lately after she dances. Cheers for the info. I remember "Yellow Bird up high in banana tree"....was that Harry B?

Fantastic! Thanks fern.

I guess we should keep it low key incase there are UK Gold researchers lurking....

OMG!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

*Dances round in excitment*

THANK YOU SOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO MUCH!!

I think I downloaded utorrent, the green symbol, and chose the one you recommended in HD quality! WOW What quality, better than my telly from Argos!
It took several hours mind, and I went to bed, then got up again to check, and good job you described all the instructions as I couldn't work out how to get it to play, I was clicking the software instead of the file that had automatically been saved in a folder called 'downloads' in my documents!

The whole show from Monday night in one go! Unbelieveable!! I may go back and download the whole series to have on my PC when I get some time. Does it usually take about 5 hours for one file?

Anyway, if you have broadband, I can defo recommend it for everybody else if you have the time and would like to try. It's AMAZING!! Whoever uploaded it, many many thanks for sharing.

Pri, it took a crisis to find out, but sooo glad you told me!

Hope I can see the next series of SYTYCD in this way too if my computer holds up.

P.S. It played in realplayer

Yeh it does take a few hours because it's to do with seeders and leechers, seeders are how many ppl who have the file already and leechers are how many ppl who are trying to download the file.

more seeders less leechers are always better but if you look around on the program you can set your upload speed so ppl who are downloading it off you it slows them down and keeps your download speed at a reasonable number.

if you do find that change ur upload speed to between 1kb-8kb.

that way your download speed can reach from 100kb-500kb

Thanks for the tip, will do.

As I suspected, just noticed this comment on Diane's new channel on youtube:

"Due to copyright of putting up Oprah Winfreys show with the Osmonds, Diane1253 lost her site."

I think people warned copagedesigns about ABC who took hers down voluntarily, but it seems it wasn't totally necessary.

Hopefully it'll all get back to normal again, thankfully Diane's new channel, fern linked to above, has all the videos from the Results Show this week, so she's done wonders to get back up and running again. If only they would give people a chance to remove offending items rather than cancel the whole lot in one fell swoop. All those hours of uploading cancelled out.

Think so.

Just watched one of Diane's ET videos, with Donny interviewing, and Jonathan said that he and Marie's Jive was praised backstage, and Shirley Ballas said it contained every Jive move and deserved 10s. I've just watched the dance again, and the whole lot of them must be deluded, as I just can't see how they can say that. The judges were quite right to say it was lacking.

Another thing.....why have they started saying "not necessarily in the bottom 2"?
Jennie & Derek have been there 2 weeks in a row, but apparently they weren't necessarily?
Only the couple voted off had the lowest combined scores. If any couple could have been the other lowest ranked couple, why have they put J&D in the spotlight twice now?

Just received a message from copagedesigns, she now has a new channel with DWTS videos uploaded:

This week's dances are:

Mel and Maks - Paso and V. Waltz
Jennie and Derek - Tango and Cha Cha
Helio and Julianne - Foxtrot and Cha Cha
Marie and Jonthan - Quickstep and Mambo

They could choose whichever dances they wanted as long as it was one latin and one ballroom. If they're doing a style they've done before, it will have new choreography.

When I heard the name Belafonte I presumed he was a son or close relative but I heard someone on some show saying that whilst they have the same surname they are not related.

oh a new paso for mel and maks then :O i hope it's as good as the current one then! is the v.waltz the one where they danced to kelly clarkson's song? that got all 9's i think.

Only brief comments during the ad breaks.

The couples could choose one Ballroom and one Latin Dance, to revisit, with new music and choreography.

First up Marie & Jonathan with the Quickstep.
Music "Good Morning" from Singing in the Rain, Marie dressed in pale blue/turquoise, Jonathan in grey suit, he's never been this far in the competition before, they're concentrating on technique. Charming performance, Marie could make the Final.
scores: 10,10,9 Bruno was roundly booed.

Mel & Maks's Viennese Waltz Queen's Somebody To Love.
Beautiful, complex dance, Mel did 2 splits midway, both dressed in white. scores: 10,10,10
Maks has never looked so happy. Spice Girls put in an appearance in the VT, and Emma being on SCD was mentioned by Samantha.

Jennie & Derek - Tango - unknown loud rock song?
Jennie wore red, Derek black, both with gold military trim. Was surprised they chose to revisit this dance, as it was so fab last time, their breakthrough, and thought they would choose the Quickstep where they fell, just to do a clean performance. However Len thought it better "head and shoulders" than previously - it was a completely different style to the last Tango- and Bruno loved it too. Carrie-Ann thought they lacked chemistry. I love it when she's out of line with the other 2 Judges.
scores: 9,10,9 the dancers are disappointed with 9s tonight.

Helio & Julianne - Foxtrot/AS - Aint That A Kick in the Head, The Rat Pack
Both dressed in Emerald Green, she looked stunning, he wore a tailsuit looking dashing, it was charm personified. How can these 2 not win? They are dead certs.
Gorgeous performance and choreography, sooo entertaining. As Bruno said, it's hard to believe he's never danced before. She's got the magic back, just in time for the Final! scores: 10,10,10 ofcourse!

Len whizzed round all 4 couples in the DWTS helicopter to dish out a Latin Masterclass for the next round. Go Len! You gotta love 'im!

Marie & Jonathan - Mambo - the Guiness Ad music
Dressed in red, yellow and black, both costumes were a-changing as this crazy dance went along, with Marie ending up prostrate on her Brothers' laps in the audience! OMG! I wish I could feel as energetic as her now, never mind in my late 40s, she's an absolute marvel!! This was a typical DWTS dance, in that it was less about technique, more about throwing in the kitchen sink and creating entertainment for the viewers, so critical comments are superfluous on this show, it's a different atmosphere, and incredible fun! I love it! scores: 9,9,9

Mel & Maks - Paso Doble - Satisfaction, The Rolling Stones
Sadly the webcam got stuck through most of this, but from what I could make out, it was a very powerful dance, and they ended up on the floor. The costume dept. have decided Mel = Modern, so a stunning maroon dress for her and matching colour for Maks. Judges loved it, and again scored: 10,10,10 - what may stop them getting to the Final is if the GAP don't take to Mel and her blunt Northern way of saying, "vote for us". Maks presented her with a rose, and Tom joked "couldn't spring for a dozen huh?"

BTW Dance War starts in January with Bruno and CA. Think I'll give it a miss. They trailed it during the show.
Tomorrow night: Avril Levigne guests, and Sabrina & Mark will appear to promote the Tour and dance. Plus Micheal Flatley who is in the audience tonight.

Jennie & Derek - Cha Cha - unknown soul song?
At last! Jennie got down and dirty with a very sassy Cha Cha, in total contrast to her first dance in week one, and showing how much she's improved and more to the point relaxed. Very sexy, dressed in beige and brown, Derek spent a bit too much time on the floor, I preferred the classic Cha Cha moves myself. Universal praise, scores: 10,10,10

Helio & Julianne - Cha Cha - unknown song? (not having much luck tonight)
Dressed in pillar box red, bit tacky, but great performance again, Len said they were the couple of the night, of a high standard show, and you couldn't argue. The dance itself was a bit Julianne centric, she didn't showcase Helio so much apart from at the start when he slid on the stair bannister. Also she borrowed a move from Edyta at the end. It probably had less basics than their original Cha, but alot of fun, infact the whole night was full of fun and great dancing. So much energy all round, what are they on? scores: 10,10,10 tied 60 points with Mel & Maks in first place.

Tom made a joke: "To the 1 - 8 paddles, sorry you didn't put in an appearance tonight".
Samantha urged everyone to vote!

Oh dear, who should leave? I simply can't choose, and will be sorry to see anyone go. The only couple I think is totally safe, based on poplular vote, and the fact he was a dancing novice, is Helio & Julianne.
The dances I'm really looking forward to seeing tomorrow on youtube are Mel & Mak's VW especially, and also the Paso. Marie & Jonathan's Quickstep, and Helip & Julianne's Foxtrot/AS. All of them looked sensational. WOW! Another great night of DWTS! You've gotta love this show!

pri, thanks so much for doing that, it's really good to compare the scores with their previous dance, and see how much they all improved.
