It's a watchable release. However. I believe it is either nuked or should be.

Here's what's wrong with it. As pointed out by the group that propered it (not the most un-biased perspective I know).

They completely screwed up their segmenting, several scenes
are repeated. In total their release is 111 minutes long,
so there are 28 minutes of bonus scenes. Check our sample folder
for one such a repeated scene, 4400-scene1.crimson.avi starts at 49.19,
4400-scene2.crimson.avi starts at 1.15.07.
There are also segments that are out of sync and
some segments have been encoded with a bitrate of around 150 KB/s.

The rant goes on. But you get the idea.
They repeated 30 mins of content. Which in turn made the release bigger than it needed to be. It should be about as big as the final Battlestar Galactica release (if anyone can remember it was around the 540mb'ish size). But this release is a full 700mb which it doesn't need to be.
