I presume you forgot to say that this is a completely legal download either of something you have bought or one of (mainly rather old) films that are available freely for download. Otherwise anyone giving you information could be aiding and abetting you in a crime!
Of course, it is a film called "The Men Who Stare At Goats" from iTunes (the HD version)

Hi, I was wondering if anybody knew where I could get a better internet connection in Shetland, preferably in Lerwick. I live in Yell where the internet speed is appalling, I am trying to download a film that said it would take days to download with my internet connection.
I once used the WiFi at Clickamin and it appeared to be extremely fast. I noticed that the main Lerwick Shetland library's WiFi has had a speed boost recently in a press release online but I have never been there so I don't know if its any use. If they had a fast connection, that place would be perfect. So I could sit down in their laptop area and do some other work while I wait.
If you happen to be using any of the public wifi in Shetland in the near future, it would be great if you'd check the speed and post it along with the location here. I use www.speedtest.net but beware, most of the buttons on the site are adverts so just click the "Begin Test" one.
Thanks,
Jack

I wanted to know if there were any clubs or groups for programming in Shetland
-
I would be interested depending on a number of criteria:
What platform? eg. iOS, WIndows, Android, web, flash
Type of game? eg. 2D, 3D
Working at home Ok?
Would there be any other contributions I would need to make other than development skills? eg. capital, advertising
Who is asking?
I write Pygame games and JavaScript games right now but am looking at other web platforms and Android as a next step. I am always happy to lean new skills.

I write Python, usually for making PyGame games and simple programs.
I think its a great language, the syntax was relatively easy to learn and the gotchas aren't that bad.
I just use the Python IDE but I'm thinking of taking a look at Eclipse for Python scripting quite soon.

I wanted to know what Shetlanders thought about the Mac vs PC topic.

I just bought a MacBook Pro from John Lewis (they are having a MacBook sale) and I have to say it looks amazing. Albeit still a little costly.
