yup, the site really has been hammered - so much so that it’s offline right now, but should be up again soon. Keep an eye on the fan site [http://doctorhorrible.net](http://doctorhorrible.net) for details ---

[QUOTE=jayjay] Hmmm…Aleq…are you aware of the Firefly outtakes reel? The one where we can see an absolutely beautiful shot of Mr. Fillion’s glorious glutei? If you haven’t, google /Fillion naked/ (not at work!)…absolutely the most beautiful butt I’ve ever seen! [/QUOTE] You know naked Mal is in the episode itself, not just the outtake reel, right? ---

Note that Felica Day (female lead who was also potential slayer Vi on Buffy) is also on “The Guild” [http://www.watchtheguild.com/](http://www.watchtheguild.com/) - I watched the 1st episode and liked it enough to try some more. Brian ---

The site has been moved to a new server - people will be able to access it over the next few hours as their DNS catches up ---

Try this: [http://www.drhorrible.com/act\_I.html](http://www.drhorrible.com/act_I.html) I think you actually need the WWW in the address. (I haven’t seen it on Huilu itself, either.) ---

If you visited the site while it was down, it may take some time for your computer/ISP to catch up with the DNS for the new server location - there are ways around it but they’re complicated. If you are patient it’ll work soon enough on it’s own. If you’re really impatient, you can purchase it through iTunes - costs something like $4 if you want to buy the current plus the two future episodes or less for just the one ---

I love that Joss has single handedly destroyed the internet with this - ok, maybe that is hyperbole, but still - it’s a good sign. Even whedonesque, which frequently goes down, posted this: > [@](#): > > Grrr argh… Whedonesque has met its nemesis. > > Due to a traffic spike caused by today’s release of Dr Horrible, our host has shut down our database. We are working hard to move our site elsewhere. In the meantime, the forum at [Whedonesque.org](http://Whedonesque.org) is still up and running: > > Visit [whedonesque.org](http://whedonesque.org). - Edit: fixed quote tags\* ---

[/QUOTE] Yeah, I wound up editing my hosts file. That worked, finally. And yes. Very much fun. I like the lo-fi feel. Really “handmade.” The hero entrance toward the end is hysterical. 😃 ---

Dangit! I was able to load it just fine at work, but couldn’t watch more than 30 seconds because of, you know, work. Finally got home, and now I can’t load it. ☹ ---

I’m enough of a Whedon fan that I went to iTunes and bought the season pass: I just finished watching episode 1, and I’m hooked! 🙂 ---
