Hammond's New Show on Airbus A380

[Andrewticus]

I know pilots and engineers and both of them say that the A380 is the worst plane ever built. Not really a matter of quality, but a matter of borderline physical impossibilities.

[aaurora]

Awwww, far out. Really? I am almost finished with the airbus one. How thoroughly disappointing.

The 370MB ones aren't too bad. The main problem is that they're 1280x720, so if you make them smaller the quality increases. Perfectly watchable, though. Sort of like a VHS recording.

Be nostalgic.

Actually, for what it's worth, Hammond's Hamsters have a good quality version available for download. Each episode is in five chunks at megaupload, about 200MB apiece. Sadly the fifth and last piece of each episode has gone AWOL, but if you've got the 370MB torrents as well, that doesn't have to be a problem. Lovely sound, picture resolution around 640x360.

I suppose if you ask, the uploader might be able to find those missing chunks for you.

Yes it is.
Do you have any tip on those 720p rips?

Unless the A380 really is made out of Lego, you can't be happy watching it.

370MB for a 720p rip can't end in a good result - it should've been ripped at around 624x352.

Anyway.....

I wasn't aware of the missing files, reuploading now, though slowly

I'll be recording tomorrow night's episode the same way. It's a pretty good series. Or, if you're a fan of Richard Hammond, it's a freakin' good series

[ladyblue]

Going by the reactions here to the torrent, I guess I should apologize for the quality of video. The thing is, its the first time I've done something like this. I have little understanding of video converting software. Anyway, if anyone is interested I'm trying it again with 624x352 pixels.

Oh, was that torrent yours? I just want to say a massive THANK YOU for bothering to do it as I so desperately need to see this series (love the Hamster) and if you could re-torrent it with the better pixels - my word, that would make me a very happy girl indeed

let us know when you've got it up and running!!

[logifuse]

ladyblue's new A380 one is on TPB.

I'm a little light on bandwidth for the month, so I might have to sit it out.

[ladyblue]

I've now got both torrents up with the files less pixelated see TPB

not sure if i can post the links though.

[aaurora]

Thankfully, I have enough bandwith left But there's not many seeds there - 0 at the moment, anyway. It's the same size MB's, I am looking forward to seeing the quality!

Thanks so much Ladyblue Can you tell us more about the quality? If you could attach a sceen cap, that would be most awesome Around the 19 minute mark when Hammond is on the horse....Mmmm, nice

I am downloading at the moment - very excited!

Thanks, too bad I would have to register to there and I'm not going to because of one tv-show.

Thanks. And I sympathise. Uploading to Megaupload can be excruciating!

It's a very friendly place. Give it a go.

[aaurora]

The quality is lovely now, Ladyblue Thank you SO much for uploading them. I'd be so happy if you'd do it for the other two episodes that are still to come, that would be awesome

Cap:

[ladyblue]

I'm hoping this will work, if not I'll try again later on.

The next episode of Engineering Connections is up on TPB

[logifuse]

If someone who got them off the torrent could upload them to one of the FTP servers, that would be great.

I got the first one (the re-up) & the quality was much better - thanks Ladybird! I had a go at the second one during my off-peak data time, but there weren't any seeders.

[ladyblue]

for whatever reason utorrent does not want to work tpb at the moment on my computer so I'm posting the file on megaupload.

[Koppel]

can anyone torrent it once they get it from megaupload?
