Neo_Vrs · 31-01-2005, 13:19

Hi guys,

Does anyone know a link to see the vRS v mini cooper top gear vid? I've has a search on here but can't find anything. I've seen the fifth gear one. Or if anyone can send it via email?

Thanks

Sure i can soon copy it, though i only taped the race and not the whole of the top gear episode so it is only about 5 mins long but you are welcome to a copy, i dont have a video in card otherwise i could have emailed it

There is also a DVD from Duke called 'Heads on-Hot saloons and hatchbacks'
which tests 12 different cars on the track including the Fabia which they all really liked. i have a copy myself which i ordered online.

There was a link to a bittorrent with the whole of the last series of Top Gear posted somewhere (can't remember f it was on here or not).
I've got it bookmarked at home if anyone wants it.
4+ Gb though, so not for those on dial-up

Thats a site that only has torrents for 5th gear and top gear, the link above has both fabia videos.

This BitTorrent thing is a new one on me - that site recommends Azureus or ABC - which is better? Or is there something else better still?
What is it and how does it work?

I use Azureus, I'd recommend that one.

I've been on this before, it only has the fifth gear one though, it's said the top gear one coming soon for ages!

Both are good, I've used both without problems however the newest version of Azureus is meant to have problems so i switched to ABC for good just now.

Crap, didn't notice the coming soon part. Sorry about that.

Another good torrent client is bitcomet.

Uses a lot lower CPU time than azureus and very user friendly for new people to torrents

Switched from ABC to Azureus, as it packets from other peers better, the downloads were quicker.

Hmmm, downloaded it (2 hours or so) but only got the sound, no video, so I've obviously done something wrong :-s

Codec is compression/decompression of videos so you can play them from the net, etc.

cheeky · 01-02-2005, 16:54

Let me rephrase... erm, what do I need to do to be able to view the video on the file I've downloaded? Or do I need to start again?

Which video have you downloaded? The top gear or fifth gear one? If its the top gear ones where did you get it from?

The The · 01-02-2005, 17:37

Managed to download the 5th gear video using Azureaus , it took a while! about 3.5 hours but the quality is very good even after copying to a VCD and playing in the DVD player. it was 149 gig.
