    Any soccer download through bittorrent link should be post here for others to use. Please share with others any bittorrent links you know.

    For those that are newbie to bittorrent, it's a program that let you share file with other users at a much higher speed than program like Kazaa, but instead of a centralized hub, you find files to download through webpages (links) that other people posted. As long as there is a person sharing the file, you can always download.

    If you need bittorrent, you can get it here:
    http://bitconjurer.org/BitTorrent/download.html

    Please post any soccer bittorrent download you know.

    Real Marid-Barcelona game last Sunday can be downloaded through instructions here:
    https://www.bigsoccer.com/forum/showthread.php?t=108436

    I use bittorrent mainly for newly released anime, so I don't know any soccer link. Hence, this thread.

    unfamiliar with bittorrent: read its description by a news article:

    Enter BitTorrent, a fascinating piece of software written by a young Seattle programmer, Bram Cohen. BitTorrent solves the asymmetric bandwidth problem by finding other computers that host the same file. By downloading, say, one-tenth of the file from 10 computers at the same time, BitTorrent puts your download capacity to full use. In fact, the more popular a file is, the faster it downloads because there are more computers with copies to share the load.

    To ensure that the load is shared, the software implements a fiendishly simple rule: the faster you upload, the faster you are allowed to download. BitTorrent cuts up files into pieces, and as soon as a user has a piece, they immediately start uploading that to other users. So almost all of the people who are sharing a given file are simultaneously uploading and downloading pieces of the same file.

    The BitTorrent system makes it easy to distribute very large files to large numbers of people while placing minimal bandwidth requirements on the original 'seeder'. That is because everyone who wants the file is sharing, rather than downloading from a central source. This is interesting to those of us who have no desire to swop movie files because BitTorrent provides us with an effective way of sharing large files quickly


    Anyway, I'm off. I have no luck finding any soccer bittorrent through google. Hopefully someone know of a link and will post it here. The more people sharing the file, the faster it will be downloaded and more people will enjoy the beautiful game.

    For those of you new to Bittorrent, there is one very important thing to know. Don't quit your program just because your download is finished! If everyone did this, Bittorrent wouldn't work at all. Most programs let you see your upload ratio which can be a good way to tell when it's OK to stop uploading to other users. An upload ratio of 1 or more means that you have given back as much as you have taken. The higher the ratio number, the better it is for other users trying to download the file for themselves. It's just the right thing to do. If a download is slow or you can't manage to get a complete file, it's because other people aren't continuing to share the file after they finished with the download.

    it depends. But usually, yeah, it would take more than an hour to download a 600 MB file. But you can quit your download anytime and download it where you left off once you get back online. So even if it takes you about 8 hours. You can do it over the period of 2 or 3 hours per day.

    The more people are downloading the file (seeder and uploader) the faster the download will be. However, if there is no 'seeder' you will not get the full file.

    Thank you for the great links.

    And for those new to bittorrent, one last comment. The average life of a torrent file is depended on how popular it is and how long the 'seed' will be online. If there is no seed, there is no full download. So typically, it would last about a week. However, you can ask (if you know someone who have the file) to re-seed.

    oh, animesuki.com got a lot of anime torrent. If you are interested, check it out. Lot of good shows. On average, a typical popular epsidode last about a few weeks and about 30,000 downloads from all over the world.

    It can be say that if soccer bittorrent is as organized as the anime torrent (there are hundreds of sites...with a few sites binding them together), it would make viewing popular soccer games around the world much easier especially those who is living outside the home country.

    Interesting stuff.

    I'm looking to set up a WASTE network (waste.sourceforge.net) to store/distribute torrents, and once swarming is supported on WASTE networks to actually provide the downloads there. The biggest advantage of this kind of set up is that it's secure - no one can join without swapping keys with someone already "in" the network. If MLS/USA torrents keep showing up on BS, some higherups might get miffed.

    PM me if you are interested in joining the network. I'm especially in need of a few high-bandwidth people (like college students?) who can be always on to act as big file servers until WASTE supports swarming downloads. I'll be working up some protocol documents for sharing games and the like over WASTE since we are stuck without swarming - the biggest advantage of BitTorrent.

    I am downloading it at 10 kib/s. And I just started. Once I got about 2 MB of the file, the speed will increase hopefully to about 100 kib/s or so.

    P.S. YOU DON'T NEED TO REGISTER.

    I just click on that link and it works fine (without registration).

    Thank you very much jameseyla for the link. Big Soccer community owes you a huge thank you.

    There are so many online soccer videos downloads.
    either streaming, bittorrent, http or ftp.
    why don't you guys make a soccer video forum ? like
    www.soccerpulse.com

    btw, I think it's cool to use BT since it reduces the load
    and bandwidth needed by the original source.
    but always remember to leave it on for at least the amount of time
    u took to d/l it.
