Janne G - video solution ?
Hi Janne,
I have seen a variety videos over on youtube.com. I like that service / website. It's easy. This seems to be the simplest way to get videos out there How might this work for world cup videos ? Thanks DT |

Hey DT,
The yourtube.com service will not work for world cup videos because the files you can upload are max 10 min and max 100MB. I expect that other video upload sites will all have similar limits because they can't afford to give away too much bandwidth for free. However, if you do manage to find a similar service with an upload limit high enough (the largest file this year was 1.6GB), it might be worthwhile trying it out. The advantage of this system is that files will not dissappear over time - you will still be able to download last year's videos. Colin |

I concur with Bob. Thanks so much Janne G and others that assisted with
the Torrents. I really appreciated being able to watch international XC World Cup action. Side note, I was wondering if anyone had any older video files they could torrent, namely Eloffson or Dahlie or other top skiers previous to what are on Jannie's FTP site or the torrents this year. Janne G, also if you could email me directly, would be interested in a mailing address. Want to send you something in thanks for the great feeds all season. Thanks. |

After reading these posts I found an earlier thread that told me how to
access these torrents. But it has just taken me 6 hours to download the smallest file I could see on Denness, on a broadband connection using BitComet. Is this because I am doing something wrong, or is there a better way, or have I just missed the boat? Thanks. |

Torrrents are often short lived. They rely on people seeding (uploading) the file at the same time they are downloading the file. So if you try to download a file weeks/months after everyone else, then there might not be many people still seeding it. You can always ask people to seed it again for you, but then you are asking them to give away bandwidth for nothing. At the best this winter the torrents were as fast if not faster than ftp. Craig |

Don't really understand this bandwidth for nothing comment. Yeah some
folks do pay for upload bandwidth. If you have a free machine and free upload bandwidth, it is a great service to the broader RSN community to leave bit torrent running. I am leaving my bittorrent on for folks that missed the winter posts. Sorry I don't have a huge upload pipe but it should be on the majority of the time. |

Thanks to both of you.
My bandwidth is certainly free, as I get it from my mother. When at home, I only have a very feeble dial-up, and will not be taking any video over it! I will download what I can now, and keep an eye out next winter (if I can't teach my parents to put the Eurosport coverage onto DVD, as I had hoped last winter). |

I have unlimited upload bandwidth (at a capped speed ofc) with my
service provider. I did leave all torrents running until a few weeks after the end of the season. I stopped seeding because I needed to clear up hard drive space and I wanted to download & seed other non-skiing torrents. If there is a specific request, I can restart my skiing seeds temporarily, but I'm not about to leave them running all summer. With BitTorrent, the best way is to download files within a week or two of when they are uploaded (in the future - I realize you cannot change the past). Hugh: Are there any specific torrents that you would like me to reseed until you have download them? |

Wow, what a kind offer.
No, there are no specifics that I am after: between us, my girlfriend and I like watching any skiing we can find, and are interested in both classic and skate, men and women. So a suitable (almost random) selection might be (I think I already have Holmenkoll 50km men, and most of Turin women's relay, 30km and pursuit) the Turin men's pursuit, Davos classics, Holmenkoll women's 30km, Val di Fiemme relays - unless there are any you would particularly recommend for excitement, technique views, etc. Is this overly demanding? Many thanks, Hugh |
