    Tmacs awesome driving dunk in the 4th

    Wesley shows his defense


    these are the only two I have right now....If we had a night off between games I would get some more.....but I do have to work for a living. :p

    the full game KNWS broadcast torrent will be hitting its normal posting spot hopefully within the next few hours...since Im not in charge of that, I cant tell you for sure..

    its a way you swap files.

    He is referring to video clips. (these ones don't need to be downloaded via a torrent downloader.

    right....theree are two different ways to acquire files over the internet...

    1) downloading directly from a server

    2) downloading from other users(peers)

    when I post clips....they are stored on a friend's server, and all you have to do is to right-click and save them...they immediately start downloading to your machine.

    when you see torrents.....these are basically files that connect you with others(peers/seeds) that have the file...you then start downloading bits and pieces of the file from all the peers that you are connected to.

    the full game files are torrents...it is necessary to use torrents since it would be prohibitively expensive on the bandwidth to serve each and every person who wants to download it....by using other peers to share the load....it doesnt cost as much in bandwidth to serve the same amount of people.

    I was waiting for you to post the explanation...I am too lazy to type it up. Plus, I don't know that much about torrents either.

    eh....Im sure that it probably left some scratching their heads in confusion...but thats the best "in a nutshell" explanation I could come up with on short notice.

    also....to add to the above explanation for those that will inevitably ask....you do need a seperate software to process the torrents....I prefer Azureus...some like BitComet.....do a google search for "bittorrent" or "bittorrent clients" for more information.

    and also...I know I have said this a million times....but you must have the Xvid codec to watch...and you shoudlprobably use a decent video player(not quicktime,Realplayer or WMP)

    I guess I could be nice and give them a hint...do ya think?

    hmmm...

    ok....here is a neat trick that you can use to find things that are sometimes left unsaid...

    checking a existing link...and stripping it down to its base domain can sometimes yield interesting results.

    or if that is too obtuse for you....

    checking a past thread that pertains to torrents and clips might just allow you to find the answers you seek.


    and to answer what Im sure you are asking right now........in order to keep from seeming like I am spamming this board...I dont feel comfortable posting links to the location. I would advise bookmarking the location when you find it.
