Well, if you think you can stand them, the raw journals are at: http://mailman.thegeek.nu/~dlwillson/files/ 

The compressed and uncompressed versions of each file are there. For each .wav, there is a .ogg, and for the .mts (mpeg-2 something stream, I guess) there is a .ogv. 

If you want to help me set up a torrent server sometime, I'll gratefully accept. 

I have some more raw media of friends that are community-minded, but this will do for now.

This is a good time for a r3VOLution.
