Thanks for these, Gary.
They are downloading fine - moving pretty fast - seems the site only lets 2 downloads at a time?
My neighbor's grandmother was on the TV show in the early 60's. He looked around for copies of it, but it turns out that the majority of them were lost in a fire at Jack Bailey's house. Only 2 or 3 TV shows are available.
His grandma wanted to win so that she could go back to Russia for a visit to see family she hadn't seen in years. She lost to a woman who had 5 kids and wanted a washer and dryer.
He thinks it was fixed, to award prizes that the sponsors sold to the winner...
Thanks again!

Chloe:
Thanks so much for the feedback. Eatlime is a site I just discovered today and I'm still learning about it. From what I have seen, you have the choice of downloading files individually or selecting several at once and using the "download selected" button. When I tried the "download selected" it began to download all the selected files as a zip file. I was using Foxfire at the time. You can also select multiple files at once for uploading. Much simpler than the one at a time or 10 at a time approach offered by other free hosting sites.
Believe it or not, there is a three disc collection of "Queen for a Day" TV shows available. The collection is not at the top of my Christmas wish list:
http://www.amazon.com/Queen-Day/dp/B0007UDCB2/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&s=dvd&qid=1197702156&sr=1-1
I do remember my mother watching "Queen for a Day" when I was a kid. I also remember leaving the room when the show came on.
Gary

I see the Download Selected button now - the arrow was too light. When I clicked on the single episodes to download, it held two in que while downloading the other two.
It downloaded at 150kbps. Not bad.
I looked at that 3 disc set of the TV show. It says that there are only 7 known surviving episodes. Unfortunately, his grandma isn't on any of those...
Enjoying the radio show right now. One lady is from the city where I work. Small world.

Makes me wonder how different things would have been had I stayed and watched!! Jack Bailey probably has a lot to answer for.

Gary...Wikipedia states that Jack Bailey was an American actor...does anyone know what he acted in? I've never associated him in this type of role.
