    Torrent for Freo Match

    I'm sick and tired of dealing with the AFL site. Anyone know where I can get a torrent of the Freo Match? I've been lucky over here in that many of the Swans games have been on Setanta and some even live, but it seems like they've been showing the losses and ignoring the games we win.

    They usually have the games. Best spot for AFL generally AFAIK.

      RP, stoopid question ... are these games I can download onto a DVD and watch, or games I can download onto CD and listen to??
      Wild speculation, unsubstantiated rumours, silly jokes and opposition delight in another's failures is what makes an internet forum fun.

        Stooopid......

        It's a torrent. Which means it's probably in AVI format. You can burn them straight to DVD from your puter and watch them (Dependent on whether or not your DVD player recognises AVI format of course). But it is a video file regardless, and worse case scenario, you can watch it on your PC.

        But you need "client" software. A "bit-torrent" is a protocol. A protocal that is obnly recognised by "bit torrent clients". It's like how word or excel recognise their respective files. In any case, you need a client. I use Azureus. Get it here.

        Download Vuze - Azureus for free. An extremely powerful and configurable BitTorrent client. Vuze (formerly Azureus) is an extremely powerful and configurable BitTorrent client. Search and download torrent files.


        Once you have installed the client, you can then go to the likes of fr333dom.com or thepiratebay.org or torrentz.com and start downloading movie, sports, music, etc torrents.

        It's not as complicated as it seems.

            I just started a couple of months ago and found utorrent. Azureus just had a bit too much going on for me.

              Downloaded the game overnight and it's good quality.

                  Just converted form Vuze (Azureus) to uTorrent and I am one happy camper. So much liter and quicker. No superferlous crap. Just great download speeds. I highly recommend changing over.

                  Thanks for the tip!

                    I tried watching the games the sanctioned way while I was O/S, through the AFL's official online streaming partner. Its about $2/month and does actually work (its not run by Big Pond), but its very low resolution, felt like about 320x512... the torrent files are much better.
