Well, I have no idea how well this will work, but I'll give it a shot.
I've posted the 1st half of the Duke v. Gtown game for download. I'm currently uploading the 2nd half (separate file). These files are not the same quality as the DVD that's available, but they are (theoretically) free, so long as you can download them and view them. I've shrunk them to 352 x 240, so they are certainly watchable on a computer.
What I'm looking for is:
- A survey of interest: are people interested in this, or has everyone gotten a copy of the DVD by now (or has the Duke loss to FSU taken the bloom off this rose)? Just post an affirmative here so I can get an idea of how many are interested. I'm guessing most GU students have a copy of the game via file-sharing on the university network, but for those who aren't so lucky, this may be a nice option.
- A volunteer. These are not small files. The 2 files together go about 1.8 GB, so you'll need both disk space and a fast internet connection to make this worthwhile. If you are interested and have both the space and bandwidth, send me a PM, and I'll send you the link to the 1st half file. This will let me judge if this hair-brained scheme actually works. Hopefully the 2nd half will be ready this afternoon. Just looking for 1 person - I'll post a message if someone actually responds.
Cheers!

I would be interested in a copy of the game. I never got around to ordering a DVD version, and I didn't even try to figure out the University network to find a copy of it.

I've actually got a victim already - NJHoya95 has been so kind as to take a crack at it. I'll keep everyone posted as to the results.

I didn't even know it was on the network. I'm home now, so I'd be interested.

Okay, 1st half clip seems to check out, so I'm making the link public: s8.yousendit.com/d.aspx?id=3R27ZIJ0XSQCG1Z508IP7M9621File size is ~810MB, figure about 30 minutes to download from a high-speed connection (and make sure you have the disk space). No promises on how long the link will work. If you succeed in getting the file, could you please try to upload a copy back onto yousendit.com tonight (it took me about 2 hours) so others can get it? Just post a link in this topic if you do. Good luck. P.S. - 2nd half is still having some issues. Hope to get it rolling soon.

I'm getting goosebumps as I watch this 1st half. First time having seen this game after being in attendance. Gives me the absolute chills.

Back at you Rockaway.
If anyone knows how to do the whole Bit Torrent thing (or whatever it's called), please jump in - probably much more efficient that this way.
