i'm downloading using Flashget but it is extremely slow (my connection allows me to have up to 256 kbps download but i'm not even close to that.) It's showing only 10 peers with maxium download of only 21% and no seeders :(

I don't mean to criticize too much, but moohead's channel isn't the best place to watch it. The guy has like a webcam or something pointed at his tv - bad audio and the video only captures 80 percent of his tv screen. Plus you have to listen to his phone ringing or him making weird penguin sounds or whatever that is.

Actually it's a decent 3CCD camcorder. His stream is not bad considering it is free and easily accessible. If he still has the same config as last year, the webcam is pointed at him watching the game and it is streamed in a smaller embedded player on the same page as the game stream. Typically his phone is ringing because he includes a toll free phone number to talk football or whatever. I found it amusing and entertaining.

I caught the Browns - Raiders game at his site last year. I thought it was a novel way to use the net. My favorite was when he went to take a leak and missed Cribbs KO return for a TD. Hell, he even had Raiders fans calling him to say thanks since it was blacked out in their area.

THULL...In all due respect to Rocket, timBUCK2 is the member that has produced the DVDs that you speak of. Credit certainly goes to Rocket for upping the torrents.

In regards to concerns with slow torrenting speeds, please consider that this is determined by the primary seeders bandwidth and the total number of leechers and what they contribute. A leechers contribution is comprised of the amount of the torrent that they have already downloaded in addition to their bandwidth. How often one leaves their client (torrent program...Azurues, for example) running affects download / upload speeds overall. Having said that, files can and will "die on the vine" when seeding is limited by hours of the day and only a short week to week commitment. I don't mean to preach. It's the way it works.

Add to that the practice of bandwidth throttling by some providers and it can take some time to share.

I just got it working a few minutes ago. I'm at 0.3% and it says it is going to take 1 day and 20 hours to download. I'm hoping the estimated time remaining is just messed up or something because I'm not very far along or something...but if this takes 2 days...ahh, I'll wait those 2 days. I really want to see this game.

Thanks again for this.

Great work Thisismyusernam! I'm downloading it now. For those wondering about the download speed, it is totally dependent on the number of people who are uploading ("seeders"). Please, please, please remember to seed your file after you download it. There have already been a couple people who downloaded the game completely and didn't seed at all.

OK, are we going to get the "timBUCK2" dvds this year? They were always top-notch.:biggrin:

SeanWolv-

I live in winter park too. I'm off aloma and lakemont. Went to the UCF game on saturday.

I'm at 63 percent complete with 6-9 hours left to download...

Holy ****! Are you serious? I'm a student at UCF... didn't get to go to the game though ;( If you don't mind me asking, what high school did you go to? I'm Winter Park High class of 2008.



I'm at 49.2% with ~3hours left.

In the past it usually took about that amount of time or even a bit longer to download timBUCK2''s DVDs and those typically came in around 3 gigs.

As has been stated, the amount of those downloading and those that seed are key.

Btw, rep to ThisIsMyUsernam.
