Ah, computers are grand, ain't they?
A mere 22 hours after realizing I really needed to see last week's West Wing before watching last night's, I finally have it queued up to play.

Hundreds of megabytes of downloads, changing firewall settings, router settings, finding and trying various p2p programs, media players et. al., and with tremendous help from my geek boyfriend who actually FOUND the file for me, I am now ready to watch last week's West Wing, using some media player I hadda download from Taiwan called VLC.

Of course, I had to download the 350 meg file he found TWICE. But now all is well.

Yeah, computers are such time-savers.
