The Series
EDIT: Is your torrent download stuck at 98%? Read the bottom of this post to find out why.

Alright, here it is, the entire Chronologically LOST series for you available in a single torrent. I ended up getting a little behind due to the holidays and then had some formatting issues, but that's all out of the way now. Some things to keep in mind:
-The size of this torrent is 63.4GB, which ended up being smaller than expected, and only about 50% bigger than the original episodes. It contains every episode that has been posted on here, along with some cover art that I made.
-Regarding format, every episode has been converted into an MP4 video file using Handbrake. I've tested and ensured that all of these episodes are compatible with any Apple A4 device, meaning the iPhone 4, the iPad, and Apple TV 2 (and should be compatible with any future Apple devices). I can't speak to the compatibility on any Andriod, Windows Mobile, etc. devices, because I didn't have the means to test on them. I also would not expect these to work on older Apple devices, just because the video restrictions would have forced me to downgrade the quality of the episodes. All of the episodes should be displayed in a 720x480 resolution, standard widescreen 480p format.
-Now, my attempt was to make these episodes as close to DVD quality as I could, at the very least improve upon the initial quality of the FLV files that I first released. I'd say I did a pretty good job overall, although it's probably not perfect due to a couple reasons. First is just because when I initially ripped these episodes from my DVDs, some of the episodes converted better than the others, and I probably didn't have a great grasp of what I was doing. Second, Adobe Premiere is incredibly fickle, and I had to re-convert more episodes than I would have liked to get them to Premiere's liking, so it certainly affected the way some episodes turned out (Specifically there were some problems with the Season 6 episodes, like Ab Aeterno for example). So, in the end the quality is pretty good, not perfect, but I'm happy with the results.
-I know some people would probably like to see this done in HD (I'm one of them), but the process of ripping, re-converting, and re-integrating all the new HD video into the project would end up taking forever, and I just don't have the time or energy to go through all that. It's a nice thought, but just not feasible.
I think that's everything. I will be hosting the torrent at all times, so you shouldn't have any problems downloading the show. I may not always be able to give all of my bandwith, as I may need to upload other things, etc., but I plan on at least seeding the torrent for the forseeable future.
I'm not expecting to make any future posts at this time, so this will be my farewell of sorts to you all. I'll still get any comments you may leave on here, and I'll try my best to respond to them. In the mean time, download the torrent, seed as much as you can so that others can enjoy it, and thanks for watching.

EDIT: Well, I was hoping I'd actually be able to successfully seed all 101 episodes, but it looks like it wasn't meant to be. When I checked the compatibility of every episode, I didn't spend too much time checking the content of each episode. Well, turns out Episodes 21 and 23 are actually just duplicates of 20 and 22. Oops. So, I've stopped seeding those episodes, which means there's no way for anyone to completely download the torrent.
However, I've set up a second torrent that contains only those 2 episodes, so you can download those separately. Again, apologies for the screwup.

A Follow Up...
Hello to everyone, long time no talk. I'm still alive, for those that are wondering. I thought I would drop in and give a quick update to everyone on what's been going on.
-First, it was brought to my attention that my torrent files were being deleted from btjunkie, perhaps due to inactivity. I have replaced all of these links with direct links that I am hosting on my own website, so that they will always be available to download.
-That being said, I would like everyone to realize that torrents are only effective as long as their is interest in them. These torrents that I created were popular several months ago, so when people try and download them now, they may have trouble finding seeders. Now, I have all the files available on my computer, so it's no problem for me to seed any of the torrents, but I can't seed them all at all times. So, if you're trying to download a specific chapter, but can't find any seeders, drop me an e-mail. mtmaloney at gmail dot com. Let me know, and I'll get back to you as soon as I can and let you know when I can seed for you. I might even try and put out a request on Twitter to see if anyone else can help out. It's really the best I can do since these torrents are past their prime.
-I'm still converting away, working on my higher quality files. Shouldn't be too much longer until I can post a link to the large torrent. We're probably looking at a pretty big set of files, I'm guessing around 100GB total. Needless to say, that one's going to take a while to get downloaded, so I hope there's enough interest to make it easier on everyone.
-I have a list of changes that I've made from the initial set of episodes that I put together. They were a first draft, in a way. When I post the torrent, I will also post a change log for anything I've gone in and fixed, for your information.
That's all I can think of for now, hope to have the final torrent out to all of you soon!

Episodes 097-101: Epilogue
Well, we've reached the end of our journey (Or for those of you that choose to ignore the flash sideways' existence, then we ended our journey yesterday). 101 episodes. 84 hours. The entire series, for you, in chronological order. It's been a lot of fun for me working on this project, but also a lot of work. I've put a solid nine months of work into this, and at times I never thought I'd see the end. I'm glad I was able to share this project with so many different people (I've had over 20,000 people visit this site from 109 different countries), and I'm certainly glad I was able to share it all without receiving a cease and desist letter from ABC :-)
This post contains the final five episodes of the series, the entire flash sideways world presented as an epilogue. I'm not going to do a summary for the entire chapter, we all know what it is. Our characters, in an afterlife of sorts, living a somewhat similar version of their previous lives, only not exactly the same. Over time, each of them 'wakes up', remembers what their lives really were, and realizes that they have all died and are now together once again. Couple things to keep in mind when watching the epilogue: First, I used some creative freedom and inverted the LOST opener and closer, because this set of episodes is different from the rest of the series, so I thought black text on white background was a cool way to differentiate. Second, I have no doubt that some of you will notice that there is quite a lot that occurs between when we see Jin & Sun together in the hotel room, and Keamy showing up at Sun's hotel room and taking the both of them. In a perfect world, the latter would precede the former by merely a day. However, in what I assume is just a continuity error by the writers, the events in Keamy's kitchen take place nearly a week after Oceanic 815 landed. So that created a definite problem in how events are depicted in Jin & Sun's storyline. I tried to make it fit as best I could, so if you feel like it looks a little off, that's why. The five episodes run 54:42, 50:02, 45:52, 47:53 and 63:52.

A Few Things Before We Finish...
There are some logistical things I wanted to address before I post the last set of episodes today:
-There are still a few episodes in need of fixing, for example the flashback with Locke and Abbadon in the hospital was omitted, and needs to be added to Episode 014, or the mobisode with Jack and Ben playing chess was omitted. I've got a log of changes that I need to make, and so once I finish posting all of the episodes my top priority will be getting these fixed and re-posted.
-As I said earlier, I am working on creating HQ versions of the series. I will then share the whole series via torrent for those that would like to download it. It's going to be a pretty sizable series, as the current version takes up about 40GB, so the HQ version might be closer to 100GB or so. More to come on that when we get there.
-If any of my uploads stop working for some reason, just leave a comment on that episode's page, and I'll go ahead and get it re-uploaded.
Okay, I think that's all I've got.

Episode 096: 2007 (The Island - Day 14)
Well, here we are. The end of our island story. Sawyer heads off to the well to scope out the situation, and is captured by Ben. But Sawyer manages to get away once he discovers that Desmond is gone. Desmond wakes up to Vincent licking his face, and we discover that he was rescued by Rose & Bernard, who have been living in isolation the past three years, away from everyone else. Locke shows up, and takes Desmond from them, and heads off with Ben. Back at the barracks, Miles finds Richard unconscious a few hundred yards away from where we last saw him. They head over to Hydra Island to blow up the plane. On their way over, they discover Frank, still alive, and floating on top of some live preservers. They continue over to Hyrda Island to get the plane, and Frank suggests instead of blowing it up, they just take off without Locke. Out in a clearing on the island, Jack & co. run into Locke & co. Jack knows that Locke wants to take Desmond to the Light at the heart of the island, and Jack thinks Locke is wrong about what's going to happen, so they all decide to head there together. They arrive at the Light, and lower Desmond down the waterfall to the bottom. Once Desmond gets down there, he sees a pool of water, with the Light inside. In the middle of the pool is a stone holding the water in. He pulls out the stone, the water and the light drain out the bottom, everything goes dark, and then a red light shoots up from the hole, and the island starts to shake and come apart. Locke tries to leave, but Jack attacks him. He punches him in the face, and realizes he can bleed, which means he's now mortal. They struggle, but Locke hits him in the head with a rock and escapes. Frank, Miles and Richard try and fix the plane so that they can leave, and tell Ben on the radio to hurry up and head to the other island so they can leave too. Locke makes it to shore, where the sailboat is waiting for him, but before he can climb down the ladder, Jack shows up to stop him. They fight, which culminates in Locke stabbing Jack in the gut with a knife. But before he can finish the job, Kate shows up and shoots Locke in the back with her gun. Jack kicks him off the side of the cliff, and Locke falls to his death on the rocks below. Jack tells Sawyer and Kate to take the sailboat to the other island so that they can leave on the plane. Hurley and Ben both decide to stay and help Jack save the island. They got back to the cave of Light, and he has Hurley and Ben lower him down the waterfall. But before he goes, he names Hurley the protector of the island, knowing that he will die while saving the island. Jack goes down, finds Desmond, and attaches him to the rope so that Hurley and Ben can pull him up. Jack takes the stone, and puts it back into the hole. The red light disappears, and the pool refills with water, and the Light reappears. Hurley realizes that he's not going to see Jack again. He asks Ben to help him protect the island as his second in command. Frank gets the plane ready, and he, Miles, Richard, Sawyer, Kate, and Claire all are on board as it takes off. Jack wakes up in the jungle, and stumbles through the bamboo forest, the same forest he woke up in when he originally crashed on the island. He lays down on the ground, sees Vincent come through the jungle and lay down next to him, sees the Ajira plane fly off overhead, closes his eyes, and dies.
But, we're not done. Some time after Jack dies, we see a Dharma distribution facility in Guam. They're putting together food shipments to send to the island. Ben appears, and tells them all he's shutting the facility down. When the ask why, he shows them a Dharma Orientation video for the Hydra Island, where we learn about their animal experiments, see the Hurley Bird's cage, learn about Room 23, and why pregnancy poses problems on the island. Ben closes up shop, then heads to Santa Rosa Mental Hospital, where he visits Walt. He tells Walt that he's here to take him back to the island. Walt agrees to go with Ben and Hurley, and they head off together, back to the island. The episode runs 65:08 and is 505MB to download. You can view below, or click on the MultiUpload link (better quality, recommended) to go to a page where you have the option of picking a site to download from and saving it to your computer.
On a side note, I decided in the end to include the DVD epilogue in this episode after all. I really wanted to separate it from the on island story, since Jack's death carried a certain finality to it. Ultimately I decided to treat it as kind of a 'hidden track' like you used to find on CDs. So I separated it from the rest of the episode, with about 20 seconds of silence. I felt it worked well enough to do the trick.

Episode 095: 2007 (The Island - Days 11 to 13)
Jack wake up in an outrigger, Sayid tells him they're on Hydra Island. Widmore has Kate, Sawyer, Jin, Sun, Frank, Hurley and Claire all put inside the polar bear cage. He's doing it to try and keep them alive. Locke tells Jack that he needs his help to get them all away from Widmore. Locke says he needs to trust him, because he could just kill Jack, and everyone else, but he needs to help them all escape the island. The smoke monster shows up and attacks Widmore's people. Jack shows up and helps everyone escape from the polar bear cage. Locke heads to the plane, looks around and sees that it is wired to explode. He undoes the wiring and takes the bomb off the plane. He tells everyone that they can't fly out on the plane, so they have to take the sub instead. They storm the sub, take it over, and everyone but Locke and Claire get on the submarine. What's left of Widmore's people try and attack them before they can go, Kate is shot in the shoulder, but then Locke goes and kills all of them. Sawyer uses the diversion to close the hatch to the sub and preventing Locke from getting on board. Once on board they start to dive, and Jack goes to look at Kate's shoulder. However, when he goes to get the supplies out of his backpack, he discovers that Locke took the bomb from the plane and put it in a pack that he gave to Jack. There's a timer on the bomb. Jack realizes that Locke did all of this on purpose. He put them in an isolated place that they couldn't get out of. He said that he believes that Locke can't kill them, so he put them in a position where they could kill themselves. He believes if they interfere with the bomb in any way, it will blow up and they will all die. If they don't do anything, the bomb can't explode, because Locke can't kill them. However, Sawyer doesn't believe them, and pulls the wires. This causes the clock to count down faster. With only a few seconds left, Sayid takes the bomb, tells Jack where Desmond is, then runs with the bomb to another part of the sub. The bomb explodes, killing Sayid. Frank is knocked unconscious by a hatch door breaking loose from the water rushing in. Hurley takes Kate and leaves the sub. Sun is pinned to the sub, and Sawyer, Jack and Jin try and get her free. Sawyer is knocked out by a falling pipe, and Jack has to help him to the surface. Jin stays below with Sun. He can't free her, but doesn't want to leave her either, so they both drown. On the beach, Jack pulls Sawyer out from the water, and Hurley and Kate head over. They realize they are the only ones that made it out. On Hydra Island, Locke stands at the dock, and realizes that some of them made it out, and heads over to finish what he started. Jack tells Kate, Sawyer, and Hurley that they need to go find Desmond. Ben, Richard, and Miles arrive at the barracks to get the explosives to blow up the plane. Zoe arrives with Charles Widmore. While Jack & co. head towards the well, Hurley sees Jacob, who tells him to get his friends, he needs to talk to all of them. Zoe tells Widmore that Locke has arrived. They go into Ben's secret room to hide. Richard says he's going out to talk to him, and Ben goes out with him. The smoke monster shows up and hits Richard and sends him flying. Locke then comes up to Ben and tells him he needs his help. Ben shows him where Widmore and Zoe is. Locke kills Zoe, then tries to find out from Widmore why he brought Desmond to the island. Before Widmore can tell him anything, Ben kills him. At Jacob's camp, he tells everyone why they were chosen to come to the island. He tells them that he needed to find a successor. He tells them that he brought them all to the island because their lives were flawed, they were alone, they were unhappy. He needs one of them to decide to replace him. Jack steps forward, and agrees to take over. Jacob takes him to the creek, has him drink a cup of water, chants something in Latin, and says "now you're like me". As the episode comes to an end, Locke and Ben arrive at the well and discover that he's gone, and Locke reveals to Ben his plan to destroy the island. The episode runs 55:26 and is 453MB to download.
