Stupidity

Tanner65 · March 29th, 2004, 04:37 AM

I'm must be stupid or something, but how do I download the videos that don't have a .torrent address?

Viper007Bond · March 29th, 2004, 05:49 AM

You can't... yet. I'll be puttin' out torrents for them later. images/smilies/smile.gif

Tanner65 · March 29th, 2004, 05:17 PM

That's what I figured, but didn't know. Thanks.

captainkarlyeah · April 9th, 2004, 08:38 PM

Heres another stupid question...

Do you extract the videos from the zip folder or leave it in there?

Thanks

Renesis · April 9th, 2004, 08:57 PM

well to view them you have to. But to seed them, you link the .zip file

well I guess..

Viper007Bond · April 9th, 2004, 10:54 PM

Perhaps I should not ZIP them so people don't have to keep the ZIP?

xkwilson · April 9th, 2004, 11:57 PM

Yah..some of the videos I already have them, so keeping the zip means I have 2 of the files. Tat also means less hdd space. images/smilies/sad.gif

i do like that little html link viper's been including though
but yeah i say go no zips

oliB · April 13th, 2004, 03:22 PM

Hi!

I have to admit I don't like the zips too!

My HDDs are always full (although I got 280 GB images/smilies/wink.gif

) so keeping two files with the same content is not very practical...
Why doesn't VUK mention this site with a short "intro-screen" at the beginning of each video like he did fof fast-autos.net?

Sounds like a plan to me. VUK?

justin syder · April 13th, 2004, 10:04 PM

im against that, i like the rip straight as if im watching it on TV. no logo on the screen or intro IMO.

maybe a poll could be set up to decide this?

Viper007Bond · April 13th, 2004, 11:21 PM

Pfft, it's just like 5 seconds at the beginning. What's the big deal?

I agree. It's not like a banner or anything.. just a little intro. I'M sure this will attract lots of people here

xkwilson · April 14th, 2004, 12:16 AM

Well...sort of give an identity to the video source as well. I tink it should be ok

Viper007Bond · April 14th, 2004, 12:56 AM

Yeah, VUK will be doing it after he works out some technical details. It'll have like "ripped by VUK", "more at gear.viper007bond.com" and what episode it is.

SiR_dude · April 14th, 2004, 04:01 AM

Yes! Yes! Yes! Can the zips! I don't mind 3-5 seconds of text at the beginning. I too am keeping two copies, and my 30GB hard drive has filled quickly images/smilies/vampire.gif
