I seem to have a problem with this torrent. I don't know if it's just me or the torrent. I get to 2gb then it errors saying something like file bigger then expected or some such error.
Great torrent though.
One thing that dissapoints me about this collection though is that ALL the costumes are Medieval even when it's a play of ancient Rome or Athens. For the exception of Julius Caesar which i think is done in correct costume. But the others like coriolonus or Timan, etc...are all done in Medieval style. I hate to keep complaining but the acting isn't so great either...not like a Titus Andronichus (Hopkins), Julius Caesar (Brando) or even Merchant of Venice. Still though it's Shakespeare and it is great. And it's the only complete collection that you will find with subtitles and all!
Thanks

Excellent!!!! Thank you so much! 
Although I only had Hamlet with Sir Derek Jacobi from this set, the BBC version has always been by far my favourite of this play (and I have seen many).
I can't even begin to understand how TitusCicero claims that the acting is not good!!!! Sir Derek Jacobi is my favourite actor.

This one gets my vote for best educational torrent on the internet--a real treasure. I was also pleasantly surprised to find that English subtitles are hard-subbed for each film (ideal for students). Thank-you very much from Shakespeare lovers around the world.
