cheers Zman. I reckon im just never meant to get the damn cutscenes or smthing cos now that im trying to log in the next day anonymously and with the firewall sorted out its gone back to saying operation timed out. Jesus.....lol

OHH WAIT A SEC!   I know why!

When my computer is off, my FTP gets shut down.  My parents dont let me leave it on.  Yeah its usually on  between 10 AM and 10 PM but we went to NYC yesterday for the day so it wasnt up....

Just keep trying, my computer should be up all day today.  I believe i did see your accessing being logged by serv-u when i was shutting my computer off.
Try it now, my PC's on!

I put this up in case people are still searching, an ftp site(in australia I think) I found with all three cds on it, if this is your site I apolgise in advance, PM me and I will remove the link

ftp://ftp.iinet.net.au/games/freebies/Freespace2/

Good luck

P.S If it is your site please don't flame me!!

I'm working on downloading from here.  This isn't the gimped HoTU version is it?  My friend gave me images of a 3-cd version, and installed it a while ago, but apparently since then I deleted the images to save space.  I just realised a few days ago when trying to play it with the updated versions that I don't have cutscenes.

No this is the full retail version, the three cd's version (in disk images). All you need to do then is burn the images to CD's or mount them on your HDD using Daemon tools or the like.
If your after just the movies though, there are other sites that host just these in AVI format, search the site for cutscenes/movies and somewhere you will find a link to them in some thread or another.

If I had the regular retail version, then why didn't it put any of the cutscenes on my hard drive, or is the regular install not normally do that?  Too much space needed?  Just curious...

Too much space, especially when you require the CDs to play retail anyway.

As for the HotU install although the cutscenes are missing when it was compiled you couldn't play the MVE cutscenes in FS2_Open anyway and playing FS2_Open was the main reason for getting it so they would have just been a waste of space even if Underdog had been willing to let me upload them in the first place.
