Also, if anyone wants me to TRY to send it to them via AIM, post your screen name here so I can add you to my buddy list. I'm not sure if AIM will allow me to send you a file that big, but it's at least worth a shot. Only have the 1st half so far, the 2nd half is transferring right now as we speak.

I'm also uploading the 1st half onto YouSendIt.com, as CO suggested earlier.

How do you get the 2nd half? Thanks a million for it.
EDIT: I have no clue how to set up a torrent, but I don't mind sending stuff with AIM with the super fast G'town connection.

I was downloading the 1st half and it disconnected, and now the 1st half is no longer available. I'd appreciate the link to your upload once it is done Rockaway.

The link doesn't work--it says the file is blocked. I'd really love to be able to download this. What shall I do?

Sure thing. It's going REALLY slow, though. And downloading the 2nd half right now (which is also going slow) isn't making things better either. I'll do my best.

Turns out AIM will allow me to upload to a few people, albeit not that fast (5 hrs for the first half). I'm currently sending it to WashingtonHoya, and I'd be willing to send it to maybe 1 or 2 more people (I don't need big men in black suits knocking on my door). Post your AIM screen name here if interested.

hi all, long time reader, first time poster. i've been dying to get my hands on this duke game for a long time now. and i know many of you are feeling the same. fortunately, i was able to download the first half from CO before yousendit's bandwith was exceeded. in order to streamline the process of getting the video to those who want it, i converted the first half into a torrent file from which everyone can download at once. here is the link: www.mininova.org/get/242011as soon as someone sends me the second half, i can do the same with it. so, CO and rockaway, if you guys have the second half and can send it to me, i'll take care of the distribution for everyone else. fyi: you need bittorrent or a similar program to download the file. Go Hoyas! Tame the Bulls! HOYA SAXA!

Welcome to the board Booth, and thanks for your help with the Duke video. I don't have a workable version of the 2nd half, as the link I downloaded it from only gave me half the file and cut it off (which somehow corrupted the file and made it useless). As far as I know, CO is currently trying to upload it onto another public site which doesn't have a download limit (the other one had a limit of 500 MB). Once I get it, I'll private message you and send it over to you ASAP.

Better yet, someone point me to a BitTorrent primer, and I'll post the 2nd half and the complete game on that site!

also, forgot to mention... if you keep the bittorrent program open and help seed, everyone else's downloads will go much faster.

Thanks a lot hoyabooth. I'm trying to DL now, and will try to seed as much as I can.
EDIT: Umm, anybody seeding this??

OK, so once it's posted, I should DL the 2nd half and help seed other people's DLs too?

i tried to explain how to create a torrent file to CO so hopefully he can do it himself with the second half and expedite this process further. but to answer your question, yes, as soon as you're done downloading it, keep seeding to speed up the download for everyone else.

How exactly does one seed? I'm a little new to this lingo. Do I just keep the file transfer page open?

I should have the whole file in a little less than 13 minutes. I'm continuing to transfer the file from Rockaway via AIM in case anything goes wrong, but now it's basically a race to the finish, and I'll probably just seed the torrent the whole night, or until my roommate comes back and closes my laptop if I'm asleep.

You've got a lot of faith in me, my friend. I'm making the 2nd half torrent file right now - I'll keep you posted when I hit the inevitable hiccup.

CO, you're already doing a magnificent job. Everyone on this board is indebted to you and your efforts in getting these videos up. Good luck figuring it out!
