Hi guys,

Does anyone know a link to see the vRS v mini cooper top gear vid? I've has a search on here but can't find anything. I've seen the fifth gear one. Or if anyone can send it via email?

Thanks

I have the top gear one but have never seen the 5th gear race, does anybody know of a link to that.

I have the fifth gear one....wanna swap

Sure i can soon copy it, though i only taped the race and not the whole of the top gear episode so it is only about 5 mins long but you are welcome to a copy, i dont have a video in card otherwise i could have emailed it

There is also a DVD from Duke called 'Heads on-Hot saloons and hatchbacks'

which tests 12 different cars on the track including the Fabia which they all really liked. i have a copy myself which i ordered online.

There was a link to a bittorrent with the whole of the last series of Top Gear posted somewhere (can't remember f it was on here or not).

I've got it bookmarked at home if anyone wants it.

4+ Gb though, so not for those on dial-up :eek:

This BitTorrent thing is a new one on me - that site recommends Azureus or ABC - which is better? Or is there something else better still?

What is it and how does it work?

I've been on this before, it only has the fifth gear one though, it's said the top gear one coming soon for ages!

Both are good' date=' I've used both without problems however the newest version of Azureus is meant to have problems so i switched to ABC for good just now.

Crap, didn't notice the coming soon part. Sorry about that.

Another good torrent client is bitcomet.

Uses a lot lower CPU time than azureus and very user friendly for new people to torrents

Switched from ABC to Azureus, as it packets from other peers better, the downloads were quicker.

Hmmm, downloaded it (2 hours or so) but only got the sound, no video, so I've obviously done something wrong :-s

Need the correct video codec

What does that mean in non-techie terms??

Codec is compression/decompression of videos so you can play them from the net, etc.

Let me rephrase... erm, what do I need to do to be able to view the video on the file I've downloaded? Or do I need to start again?

Which video have you downloaded? The top gear or fifth gear one? If its the top gear ones where did you get it from?

Managed to download the 5th gear video using Azureaus , it took a while! about 3.5 hours but the quality is very good even after copying to a VCD and playing in the DVD player. it was 149 gig.

That program was excellent, i got the video in 30 mins Not to mention some other things Super fast program.

it was 149 gig.

:eek::confused:

What did you use to get the program in 30 mins? Azureaus worked fine but it slowed my PC down a lot, and it is a good speck with a 3.2 xp chip

It's the speed of your network connection which dictates how quickly it'll download, not the speed of your CPU.

I'd not complain if I could download 149Gb in 3.5 hours though!!

Managed to get hold of a copy of the vRS episode, and I've extracted the section with it against the Mini

Trouble is, it's 16.5Mb still. Anyone got any web space they could stick it on?

still wanna see the top gear eps with the little furby on would be quite good if we could somehow get hold of this!!!
