I can't believe I failed to spot my own mistake. I was being so careful as well! I shall hang my head in shame. BV:(:} |
Torrent files for XViD format |
Mighty Gem
Try Googling 'Azureus'. Torrent management software which through Peer-to-Peer will use the small file to download the one you want.
I'd explain properly but I don't have a much more of an idea on the whole process. Black magic that gets you the shows you want! |
Download Azureus (Azureus.com) then go to Isohunt.com From there you can search for and down load any movie/program in the universe including whatever movie came out yesterday as long as you don't mind watching it with someone's head in the way eating popcorn.
G Spots lost What a nice post! Don't worry the hoodies earning all that money on benefits probably have sky as well. November4 good effort mate well done! |

Neither, it appears, are you! The ellipsis is written with only three full stops (...) not five, as was the case with your response to BV. </pedant mode> :} |

Pedant mode reapplied for a moment
I never claimed to be, I is the recipient of wot the state school sistem does teach us. Pedant mode firmly off :rolleyes: Mind you ellipsis at the end of a sentence should still be followed by a full stop, so we were both wrong.... :cool: |
Tigs2 & artyhug
Damn and damn again!
:) |
artyhug
I am fairly sure the ellipsis makes the full stop redundant :). Enough pedantic behaviour from me for the day. |
How does that work? All I get is a 5Kb file. Do I need some other software to download it? On the Mac, I use Transmission, on Windows I'd use uTorrent. Both are freebies. Open up the .torrent file with your client of preference, and it'll construct the programme for you. Usually, the end result is a single .avi file which you can play on your computer with most media players (I use VLC, which handles anything you throw at it). Occasionally the .avi files come packed and you might need a .rar extractor (one here for the Mac, one here for Windows) to unpack them, but the end result should be a single .avi file. These days most DVD players seem to play DivX / XViD .avi files, so burning them to a DVD means you can watch them directly on your TV. The above may sound like a bit of a hassle, but once you have the software installed and you've done it once or twice it becomes a doddle. For popular programmes, like the Ross Kemp one pleasingly seems to be, you can get incredibly fast downloads (the more people sharing, the faster it gets). The end result is also usually very watchable on a full size telly and much better quality than YouTube. |
This could rapidly deteriorate into a pedantic thread. |
Polikarpov, thank you! I am a Sky subscriber, and could have videoed these three parts instead, but prefer to have them saved on my PC. Being among what is generally known as the technically unwashed I have laboured with your helpful posts until by some magic osmosis it suddenly all worked! Once the whole series is 'in the can' I probably won't bother to repeat the process, but these programmes are so good, and so indicative of what it is surely really like out there, that I am glad that I persisted. Whether others do likewise is for them, and if you want this post wiped Pop feel free, but with the thumbs up that Ross Kemp and crew have been accorded on this thread the least I could do is acknowledge Polikarpov's advice. :ok:
|
Chugs et al
Well I tried Azureus and uTorrent and couldn't get it to work Both said it was going to take something like 4 days to download episode 1!! Any suggestions? |
Roland
Persistence is the key, the speed of download depends on how many people sharing the file are online. Clearly that can be dependant on where in the world you are in relation to the time zones of those with the file.
It will often be an overnight job though. |
Roland, I think it said something to that effect in my case, but soon settled down to doing it in a few hours only. As long as the programme is running, ie 'dashed' (-) to the taskbar(?) it will continue to download while you do other stuff (like post here :)). Of course, like so much internet stuff it really requires broadband rather than dial up, I think. Even then I needed the RAR extractor download (40 day free trial)to run the video on VLC. Good luck, it is really worth the effort! :D

Nik Nak, you have really pi$$ed me off. 18 years in the Andrew and you have tried to belittle everything I ever believed in and fought for.
I am not upset about the fact that you are such a :mad:ing muppet, what does pi$$ me off is that you live your life in such blissful ignorance that you can sit at home in Blightly blithely ignorant of the fact that men (and women) are dying to keep you safe. May you live long and prosper in your Ivory (ATCO) Tower. |
I use Video Downloader to save the files from YouTube. Very simple to use, copy the web address into the Download box, click download button and download. This saves the file as a .flv which is viewed using something a flv viewer eg GOMplayer.
Alternatively you have the option to convert to an avi which can be watched on using Windows. Must admit I haven't tried that as I watch them on GOMPlayer All the links to the YouTube are in post #123 |
Thanks polikarpov,
Yes, you will get a 5kb or thereabouts '.torrent' file. This is a file which essentially points to lots of other files (the combination of which is the programme you seek) and is readable by a bit torrent client, of which there are many (some have been mentioned on this thread already). On the Mac, I use Transmission, |
How Fecking good was that tonight??? Lots of emotion, and lots of payback.
Great reporting.:ok: This must go down as one of the best Mil series ever. Well done, Viking by name and Viking by nature:D:D:D:D |
I agree Tigs, it was also good to hear them all very much supportive of the Fast Air and the joys of war.
Good to see the old spirit of getting straight back on the horse with the Vikings and not a single groan amongst them, very professional bunch. I hope this programme gets the recognition it deserves. |
And great to see the boys on the ground put the British press in their place about the blue-on-blue - what great character, courage and strength.
|
Very impressed with what Ross kemp is conveying back to our screens.
Excellent battle footage, as I texted to my brother last night at the end of the programme, I wish I was still in. That Javelin looks like a terrific bit of kit, how long have we had that? |
Would someone be kind enough to put up a link to a BitTorrent thread for this latest episode for us non-Dirty-Digger-funding oiks? TIA.

Thud
Oddball has been putting this on youtube. The first link is here you need to troll through for the others. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=j7D8Pih1CHQ |
Just to add my twopenneth, bloody marvellous! Mr Kemp has become the best friend that the Armed Forces have now in my opinion. His empathy with the guys, personal modesty (and a lovey at that!!) and courage (and that goes for his sound and camera men) make him an absolute natural. None of Bell's holier than thou or Aidie's chippiness either. He is obviously proud of his Dad and his Regiment, and proud to share danger with them. I hope that he intends to do more of this in future, though Mrs Kemp(?) might have other ideas! The guys of course were as impressive as ever, their matter of fact manner in such hostile situations humbling. Respect!
|
I hope that he intends to do more of this in future, though Mrs Kemp(?) might have other ideas! Ross Kemp's wife = Rebekah Wade. Aka Editor of The Sun. Look at hubby and learn, biyatch. |
|
Thanks Tigs - I did start watching the YouTube versions but was completely swayed by the full HD malarkey in the BitTorrent downloads. Fantastic quality (video as well as content).
|
For those looking for a torrent
|
Artyhug, brilliant, thank you. I'm now in the queue for my 360-plus megabananas, which with this connection should see me complete by the time Sky sell the series to terrestrial. Much appreciated.
