Posted this in the other section before I saw there was a section for racing.

For those of you who are familiar with Bittorrent and use it, I'm hosting 2005 MotoGP videos. If you do get the videos, please seed 1:1 since I'm on residential DSL, and the speeds will be slow. I'll put more up as the races continue.

The Laguna Seca race is up.

how do i become familiar with bittorrent?

I haven't run windows in several years, but last time I was forced to have a working install of windows for work I used btdownloadcurses.. a command line python script that works across multiple platforms for Bittorrent.

I know there are graphical apps to do it, I just don't know off the top of my head. Google for "windows bittorrent clients"

http://azureus.sourceforge.net/index.php has a bunch of FAQs and How-tos.

To give you a basic rundown of what Bittorrent is, it's a peer to peer protocol. Meaning you get your files from everyone on the internet that has them, not just from one server. The program you chose to use for Bittorrent will contact a server, find out who has what pieces of the file you're trying to get. Then it will get the pieces it needs directly from those people.

What you'd need to do if you're interested in getting these MotoGP videos, is get a client (the above link has Azureus, which is what I use). Then you'd need to set it up, which isn't that hard, it should run right out of the box. Then go to my site (in my sig) and click the one's you want. Your browser will download a file which Azureus will open and read, then it will start to download the file automatically.
