Doctor Horrible Now Viewable Outside the USA.
Yay for those of us not in the USA - and well done to those who worked so hard to get the issues sorted out! Thanks.

I think the first Song was the best. I found the last one annoying because I couldn't make out what Captain Hammer and laundry girl were saying. Going to have to watch that again a lot.
Oh and funny very funny. I loved Moist with the moist letters.
Well Joss is my favorite Whedon again, but Jed is a close second (sorry Zack).

You rock, the musical rocks, the whole world feels just a little bit shinier today.

And a resounding "thumbs up" from the Mr and Mrs B in Melbourne. :)

Strangely it works in IE, just not in Firefox.

Resounding applause for making it available internationally though!!! Hurrah!
zillah | July 15, 05:57 CET
EDIT: And I've just tried using Firefox and I'm still getting the same message so it seems as though there are still some glitches to get sorted out as I'm sure I'm not the only one that this is happening to.

I've only seen it twice. I wish I didn't have to go to work!
Balls!

Glad I didn't look at Whedonesque until twenty-eight minutes ago, or I may have been one of the "It Does Not Work For Me" posters.
Congrats to Everyone involved, I can tell this was a labour of love, and I can only wish the most disgustingly huge success for you all.

Thanks wonderful Whedons for all the extra effort in getting it to the rest of the world.
The Do That Girl | July 15, 06:17 CET
I soo love the songs too and cowboys startled me appearing so suddenly but I liked them a lot.

No. No, it's not.
Team Whedon, you are a beacon of wonder and joy. Thank you.
ZuckerBaby | July 15, 06:27 CET
I loved everything especially NPH’s laugh, Moist, the singing cowboys, Captain Hammer smashing the remote, and Felicia Day’s an absolute doll with an absolutely amazing voice. I can’t wait to see part II and III and get the DVD.
Everything about Dr. Horrible seems to be a pioneering effort so some bumps can be expected (not that it makes it any easier for the people who had trouble viewing it initially.) But it looks like Jed and the team fixed that broken wagon wheel.
Thanks to the entire Dr. Horrible team (especially the sleep deprived members.)

Hi-larious and cool and hep and all the good things (even free, one of the goodest of all things ;). Death whinny indeed. Wonder if we'll see Bad Horse and, if so, who drew the short straw and gets to play the, err, rearward half.
Man, Nathan's smarm was brilliantly done, working the Shatner there on top of the van ;). And even just from act 1 you get a feeling that Dr Horrible's actually on a journey, that as well as being funny and geeky and a bit sad he's really a proper character, actual and whole. And Moist was cool (and, obviously, a bit damp ;) didn't realise DH would be big enough to have an evil henchperson, clearly the guy's going [evil] places (or is he ? Din, din, dinnnnn ! ;).
Thematically it seems to be about the transformative power of Felicia Day so I predict muchos transforming. Penny's just so sweet already, she's gonna see through that pesky Hammer, Freeze-Ray or no.

Turn your firewall (Norton, MacAfee, etc) off and refresh the page.

Edit: Oh and I'm very appreciative to all those who helped make it possible for those outside of the U.S. to view Act 1.

Loved.
Also, managed to get it on Slashdot.

I laughed socially-unacceptable-loud at the 'Bad Horse' song. Much good to be had. Now I'm off to the university, where they have a more stable connection to watch it again (and misuse the computers and printers for my own freelance work, heh ;)).
ETA: ah, yes, sharing. I've already called 2 friends to say it's up, posted it on my favorite Dutch sci-fi/fantasy newsgroup, will be blogging about it later on the Dutch facebook-a-like I frequent - which should get some other friends to watch - and of course I'm reviewing it for the cultural site I write for once all three episodes are up. We're such cheap labour, we fans are ;)

This didn't work for me, I'm still getting the not available message.
EDIT: Also if I go directly to the Dr. Horrible site rather than following the link here I'm getting an "Internet Explorer cannot display the Web page" message.

I'm in Sweden, using Firefox, on a computer that usually doesn't do anything I want it to (especially when it comes to video), and the video plays perfectly smoothly here. Either it's been fixed or the bandwidth has cleared up or I'm having a lucky day. Either way, that was an act made of various flavors of pure awesomest, and it put a big smile on th'face. Want more. Gotta watch again.
I am one of those who will buy the DVD as soon as it's a thing.

It's how most of those "Save Youtube Videos" sites work. That said, the file that looks like it should be Dr H (by size) doesn't want to play for me after I give it a .flv extension (and yet a random Youtube vid - about 'to be' in modern Greek ;) - plays fine). Might be the cache has become corrupted somehow. Stupid corruption.
Course, i'd like to pay for it. Before I download and install eVilTunes, do we know for sure it's US only sales ?

You all say, it's awesome, never doubted it.
Waiting and waiting to be able to watch.

(Speaking of massive numbers of people hitting refresh, when was the last time the Whedonesque user count was updated? Seems it's been >7000 for a little while now.)

My regular player (VLC Media player) doesn't play it. Other flv's are fine. But I have another player called FLVPlayer and that one works.

In case anyone not in America is interested, the only way you can purchase things off the American store without actually being American is if you have an iTunes giftcard. You can purchase them off eBay usually, and they tell you to use a fake billing address with it (I have no idea if this is legal or not, but you are still paying for it, because the gift cards are prepaid). I've never done this myself, but it might be worthwhile thinking about if you have an American friend willing to buy you a $10 giftcard.

Kinda funny, by the way, how Penny called Captain Hammer "Hammer Man" at one point. http://youtube.com/watch?v=w8WYh8uz3pQ

I just saw it for the first time using the nyud link mentioned on whedonesque.org
Now I've got a *huge* grin on my face! Joss you completely rule.
