well i was to hesitant on getting a pvr-150, now their gone and the sale is over but i think i'm about to get fired so it was probably for the best, i have another job lined up with a tv at my fingertips so i won't miss a minute of the action now

loterij

anyone have "the science of lance armstrong" that was showed on discovery channel ?

NZLcyclist

Derek, you still interested in the private DC hub?

Also you others, interested in a private Direct connect hub amongst BFers? so that we can share JUST cycling clips amongst ourselves

Brendon

cryogenic

how about waste instead of DC?

https://waste.sourceforge.net/

Chalk me up as another VERY interested party. I download a lot of TV torrents, so I'll keep an eye out for it and post it here if I see anything.

krazyderek

Yup, we really need a central place to download stuff that we just can't always watch when it's on, like the mechanics of LA thing, anyone record that ?

recursive

I'm very interested too.

neutrino

Yes, I totally agree. OLN has totally screwed up cycling coverage this year. I don't care what has to be done so long as I get to see every stage.

operator

Well start one and let's see the interest. I don't think it would be that high.

eknuth

I'd definitely be interested. Let's keep this thread active.

citizen560

Indeed. I'll do what I can to share the files if someone can rip/encode them.

krazyderek

holly crap i didn't realize it started tomorow WHOA! hmm when to watch, 12:30 or 9 pm...

NZLcyclist

hmmm the only person that could of hosted the hub has gone away for like 9 days (my brother) dammit...... oh well I can fiddle around with the hub later when he gets back. I intend to be able to share/d-l previous tours as well if I can.

Im down. Would love to pick up some coverage that i cant get from my box

NZLcyclist

just trying to set up waste at the moment

pedex

it would be better if you used bittorrent and uploaded it to a dump site like mininova.org

taikmata

Surprised this thread hasn't been owned by mods yet.

technically, there's nothing illegal about a .torrent file itself, as it contains no copyrighted data.

although that might have been changed by the recent grokster supreme court decision last week.

in any case, i think the US government might have some difficulty in shutting down trackers such as thepiratebay which are colocated in sweden.

Bikeophile

i have taped stages 1 and 2 (MPEG) with my tuner card on my pc...i have never UPLOADED a Torrent (downloaded plenty)...so if anyone can give me a quick lesson on uploading a torrent I will get them up asap

thewalrus

try this - https://www.mininova.org/upload/

you'll be the first "Seeder" for the torrent. the 'maketorrent' program creates your original .torrent file, which you then upload to mininova, or another tracker of your choice (thepiratebay is also popular, and used by a LOT of europeans.)

also, try to put as many searchable keywords in the torrent name as possible, such as:

"Tour de France 2005 Stage 01 English OLN MPEG2 TVRip"

https://krypt.dyndns.org:81/torrent/m...nt/index.phtml

It would probably be helpful to encode those files as Xvid. MPEG is huge unless you captured at a low bitrate/resolution. Rule of thumb based on other torrent distributed files I've downloaded.... your files should be around 450-600MB per hour.
