BA Concorde Video

[paulo]

I've not been around here for awhile. That's another story I'll pick up another time, but... clearing my desk today in an office move I found a CD I burnt back in 2003ish.

All Concorde memorobilia stuff, including the video that BA made for the 'wake' on the last day of commercial service.

I'll be putting it up on a BitTorrent tracker site this weekend.

So, if you've been wanting to get your mits on this long lost treasure, now's the time to google up something like Azureus which is a BitTorrent client.

I'll post back here once I've got the torrent up, so you can download and have one last sniffle. She still looks fab, by the way.

Regards, D Excuse me Mr Sheep - but did you steal an "S" from me??

[BRL]

Good to see you back Paul, look forward to the video, hope all has been well.

[Shaggy Sheep Driver]

Excuse me Mr Sheep - but did you steal an "S" from me??

Since I've bee on 'ere since 1999 and you're a relative newcomer (2003) that seems unlikely. Are you doing a creeping take-over of my I/D??

Paulo - I look forward to the Conc vid.

Cheers

This is the first time I've published a torrent, so here's hoping this works...


"Thank You" - BA Concorde Video (BitTorrent)

[skydriller]

Hi Paulo,

How do I get at this mpg file?.....Oh, and what "Torrent"? (Torrent of water, abuse..etc?!?)

Mr s--

2003? Thats extreamly odd (Ive just noticed the registered date below).... 'cause I know I posted on pprune before I first came to France in Oct 2001....In fact I remember registering from work's office in the US, cause it was the first time I flew over there too, and (..nips to check...) my logbook says May 2001???? So what happened..

Hey, not that it matters, Im still a newbie compared to a veteran like your goodself...

Regards, sSD..

You'll need a BitTorrent client - the one I use is Azureus

- Install the JVM
- Install Azureus
- If you are running a firewall, you'll want to unblock the BitTorrent port - 6881

[BRL]

Hmm. I get this error...

"031024-LHR-BA-HangarPartyVideo.mpg" : Aborting the torrent as it was rejected by the tracker while not connected to any peers. Message from the tracker: Torrent unauthorised

Using BitTorrent V4.0.3.

[paulo]

Odd - I'm hosting the tracker myself and it's saying it's OK. Did you get bumped off straight away or did any of it download?

There's been a couple of full downloads so far - the latest one using Azereus. Maybe try that client?

[Sul]

An error in the tracker is being reported, nevertheless the file is downloading fine for me, and I'm using Azureus.

If you don't know what bit torrent is or how to use it, then google is your friend!

Also check out the official bit torrent website: http://www.bittorrent.com

I'll help seed this for you.

[BRL]

Cheers. Just tried Azureus and the test it done on port 6881 came back with an error. That will be the firewall getting in the way so I will have a go at 'opening' that channel tommorrow.

Tried originally with BitTorrent, the same as the link in the post above. Get the error now with Azureus saying 'Error (torrent unauthorised).

[dublinpilot]

don't suppose you can post it as an ordinary .mpg?

[Sul]

I'm uploading it to a server right now. I've got two other people that have offered to host the file, I'll post the links here when they're live.

Here it is uploaded as a whole file on a server: http://ximensions.cometblue.com/0310...PartyVideo.mpg

Credit goes to Martin/Blapto for providing the server space. Many thanks to him.

Here is the vid:

http://rapidshare.de/files/6674912/0...part2.rar.html

You need to download both files. I had to split it into two since rapidshare has a file size upload limit.

Just open them in winrar and extract as normal - no special steps for extracting multi-archive files.

Thank you! A video that brought a lump to my throat.

And, very briefly, the dulcet tones of Raymond Baxter, the ultimate aviation commentator.

[Keef]

Thanks for that - and especially for the instructions on BitTorrent! I'd seen it a few times, clicked on it a few times, and got "download failed" a few times.

Now I've introduced the NAT firewall to ports 6881 - 6900 and installed Azureus, and we're away!

I already had the Concorde Hangar Video, but it makes a nice test.
