Torrents or whatever you nerds call them

[Sockeye Salmon]

OK.

I have a computer (you've probably worked that bit out) and I want to watch Sunday's game again (and again and again).

What do I have to do to download a copy of the game off the net?

Can you do it through Bittorrent or bitorrent?

On average how large are the files for a match? My speeds are pretty ordinary.

This weeks game was just over 1gb, however the sizes can vary from 1gb to 3gb.

Re: Torrents or whatever you nerds call them

so for the avg users connection it will take a good day to download depending on the speeds you get. You might get lucky and get it in a few hours.

My monthly d/l limit is 1.5 gig, haha.

Someone should start doing a DVD post out.

Re: Torrents or whatever you nerds call them

Someone should up their download limit :P

Re: Torrents or whatever you nerds call them

I'm downloading it and it'll take a bit over 2 and a half hours on my computer

Firstly you need to be willing to break the law! Its illegal.

I dont, but if I did, this is what I would do.

You need to install a torrent program - I dunno what you pc people use, I use transmission on the mac. The basic ones for pc seem to be bittorent or utorrent. Others may have a different view.

Go here - http://fr333dom.com/ and download the torrent file. It will be called something clever like WBulldogs vs Crows Rd1. Click the little blue arrow to download the file.

Then open the torrent file with your torrent application.

So....

Download your torrent client
Install it
Go download the torrent file
Open it with the torrent client
Wait

Thanks for that Andrew.

I'll give it a try tonight.

Awesome! Not only did the file work but it went straight onto my iPod so it doesn't have the delay between sound and picture that the converted movies have.

Re: Torrents or whatever you nerds call them

If anyone has it on DVD, I'd love a copy. I will pay any costs involved.

Thanks.

I would be happy to borrow it and pay for any delivery costs involved

OK.

I did all that and despite a few minor hiccups I have the file in mp4 format and I can watch it on my computer. Cool.

Can I convert that file to something that I can watch on a DVD player?

Sockeye, I had the same problem. I ended up shelling out USD 50 for a converter program - AVS Converter. It works pretty well.

What does it convert them to? I have something called a Videora iPod Converter
