wcsn vs torrents
Whats the deal here?
Am i missing something? Why is a torrent download better than a www.wscn.com subscription? for $4.95 US dollars I can see any video of a world cup race instantly.... no download, no hard drive space taken up, instant fast forward to the good stuff ... Seems as thought torrents are ok if you want to hassle with it, save the file, view later, burn to dvd, but for me, I'll take WSCN !! I just watched the sprint finals from the Tour de Ski. I was pulling for Fredrickson from Sweden !! Norway wins too much Will be interesting to see if Newell/Koos can pull off some good sprinting next weekend when the US team rejoins the European tour.

Usually better commentary on Eurosport. Often they have that English
biathlon skier or a Scandinavian coach between jobs sharing the booth. Probably even better on NRK, if I could understand it. Watch the WSCN women's 15k classical (stage 5) and the announcers don't add much and keep misestimating the time gaps by a large margin. With a 40 second gap and 3.6K to go, Peter Graves actually thought Bjoergen was going to catch Sarinen, when the Norwegian was actually losing time. rm "32 degrees" wrote: Whats the deal here?

I hear you on the commentary thing. The WSCN guys aren't too good.
I'll take an ex-Scandanavian coach with a good thick accent speaking English any day. Who was the guy calling the World Championship pursuit race a year or two ago when Aalsgaard passed Joergen Brink as he blew up? That announcer was my favorite for sure. JKal. wrote in message ...

is the WCSN working? is it sending LIVE?
There were some problems with this in November: Read yesterday in a press release from the US Ski Team that www.wcsn.com will be 'airing' all FIS World Cup evetns this winter over the internet. I have tried to access their site the past couple of days and have had little success. The schedule listed also doesn't list any nordic races, only alpine. Anyone have any expereince with wcsn.com? I seem to recall they air bike races. THe fee, I think 4.95/month, seems reasonsable if you can see all WC action live and on demand. Anyone know much about this? DMK No sign of last weekends race on WCSN. Looks like a nice idea but it isn't going to happen. Did the races get captured for bit torrent seeding? JC I can see a schedule he http://www.wcsn.com/article/custom.j...17933&id=34032 |
