In the interest of answering WeirdHat's request for mirrors, he has now posted Beagle on the Fan Films Hosting Pool.
Here is the direct link
If anyone wants to help him by mirroring a link, that is the place to do it!

Wait... You've actually got that set up wrong. It's mostly correct, but it should be like this:
The link that you have currently pointing directly at your file, should be pointing to:
http://fanfilms.theforce.net/hostingpool/User_DownloadFilm.asp?Which=Beagle
Otherwise, people are still grabbing from your server. The idea is to direct them to the pool so they can choose a download site.
You should duplicate the link in that blurb underneath that explains the Hosting Pool.
Take a look at my films page for an example of how I set mine up.
Here's my page for Saber Fight 2004 Check out the link at the bottom.

It is pointing to the Hosting Pool download page. Did you try clicking it?
Like I said, I set it to redirect to there. Mainly because I can't edit the first post in this thread, but also because of the way I have the front page of my website set up - I'd have to fiddle with the PHP to get the link to lead directly to somewhere else, it's easier to do it this way.

Oh... That's pretty wild... You actually have a redirect on it. I saw the filename and assumed you were still pointing at the original file.
Okay... Evidently you have it all worked out then.
I hope it works out for you.
btw: My son laughed his arse off when he saw the film. He's 6 and loves cartoons. I think you have a new fan!

The only problem I had with it was that you butchered the peanuts theme, is that intentional as to avoid copyright issues, or did you just not know how to do it?

any chance that you would change the music or the sound effects? i think it would be more effective with star wars sound effects and peanuts music. After all, its only a fanfilm, they cant really come to your house and kidnap you because of it.
EDIT: he did it because of copyright issues.

*sniff* that's my little Weirdhat... all grown up and becoming popular.... *sniff*
i think you should retain the sound effects you currently have *it was my suggestion, after all* but you might think about adding actual peanuts music... nothing against Ephisus (i can never spell that name right), i think his score is great, but i feel the music should be a bit more "Jazzy"...
there are particular reasons why i feel the sound effects should remain as they are: in the old Peanuts cartoons, whenever Snoopy had one of his famous air battles with the red baron, they would play sound effects of airplanes roaring and machinegun fire, but he was STILL just sitting on his doghouse in Charlie Brown's backyard. in THIS case, the fantasy is reversed, Snoopy's fantasy is entirely visual, so in contrast, i feel the sound effects should be more vocal; humming engines, lazers that sound more like someone saying "ZOOF!" and very obvious vocal explosions. i feel you pulled that off very well.
so that is my reasoning.
but that's just my opinion... incredible job, Weirdhat. i'm proud of ya.
EDIT: stupid type-o's

Yeah, I actually have the sheet music and I can perform a good deal of the actual peanuts theme, but that would defeat the purpose of, you know, having an original score.
Also, I don't specialize in music, by any means.

Not to answer for WierdHat, but I think that the music was original because it was originally created for the Atom Films competition.
I really think that it should have made it, too. 
But, yeah, now that this thing is not required to have those restrictions, maybe an Ephises performance of the actual Peanuts theme would be a good thing.

But then, of course, you could just use the actual track.
If it is so desired.

All those in favor of Ephisus doing the peanuts theme, say "AYE!"
AYE!
EDIT: due to incessant whining
