I get the not authorized mesage too.

same thing happened to me.

Where is catslaves?  I often see references to it, but I don't know how to
access it.

They said "sorry, you are not a member"

try RPCApictures. It worked for me.

Pooh, I can't see it anywhere.  RPCA Photos and Catslaves both told me
I wasn't authorized, and when I tried RPCA Pictures I got an error
message saying the server refused to perform the function.  Clicking
"help" took me to the Windows website, which advised me to post a
question on a Windows Media newsgroup to see if anyone could help.
Grrrrr.  Shouldn't "Windows" be able to help me with "Windows"
Media?!?

Okay, rant over; I'll try downloading again later from all three
groups.  Until then, I will be sobbing bitterly into my keyboard.

Whose whole day has been like this

They all seem to have exceeded their download limits at the moment.
Internet Explorer is too dumb to display the message from Yahoo,
though browsers like Mozilla handle this okay.  IE just sees the 403
error, and throws away the message, which looks like this:

HTTP/1.0 403 Forbidden
...
The document you requested is temporarily unavailable because this
group has exceeded its download limit. Please try again later.

I'm looking forward to seeing the movie.  How wonderful that you and
Susan were able to meet!  I noticed that Susan was smart and wore a
denim jacket. :)

I've tried all 3 links with the same result:  403 Forbidden.  Can you
authorize me to look at files on your group, please?
Thanks.
Sam (aka bignetguy)

Victor, none of them works for me. Could you e-mail me the file? Use the
address in the sig, please. I'm dying to see it!

Tried all three...nope, nope, nope...can't see it! :-(  :-) Liz

Since pretty much everyone is getting error messages, I believe Yahoo
is screwing with us, as it is wont to do.  Maybe Yahoo will decide to
function soon.  *snort*   Yeah, right.   :-P

Victor,

I think the problem is with Yahoo (not with Windows, as a couple of others
thought).  I was already a member of RPCA but rejoined.  No success.  Then I
joined (or "tried" to join) catslaves after you posted the information.
This time, I received an email that said that "people aren't automatically
approved" in their attempt "to protect the catslaves group from trolls, and
to maintain the privacy of people already active on catslaves."  I was then
supposed to respond with a message telling them how I found out about
catslaves and why I think I would "enjoy being an active, contributing
member."

I think this is ludicrous and is one of the reason I dislike so many of the
groups that require passwords.  I thank you for posting the video and would
really have enjoyed viewing it -- but I told catslaves to remove my name.
"Vicky" (listowner of catslaves) apparently sees this as an attempt to
protect the privacy of other members, but I consider it instrusive.  It
should be adequate that a person can confirm a legitimate email address;
monitored groups can simply refuse to post objectionable messages, it that
is really the problem.

Victor, my rrant is directed at catslaves, not at you.  I also decided to
post it here because it is obvious from other messages that a number of us
ran into problems by trying to access these two Yahoo groups.
