    If you guys have broadband connection and want to download matches, go to http://www.soccer-media.com, there every week you can find the latest matches mostly of Barcelona, Real Madrid, AC Milan, Inter, Roma, Juventus, Man Utd, Arsenal.

    Just learn how to use Bittorrent and you are all set. Hopefully all of you can enjoy the service.

    PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE tell me more about this...I don't speak Chinese, and am not familiar with Bitorrent - do I have to download anything special? Is it safe/stable? Is it free? This sounds suspiciously too good to be true...

    I've downloaded tons of Milan's matches using BitTorrent. You need to download and install a BT software in order for the downloads to work. The only problem with BT is that the links don't last long. So you better download fast because who knows how long the link will last. Here is the BT software I use: http://bt.greedland.net/greedbt/bbs.greedland.net_greedBT_v2.5_en.exe

    The link you provided doesn't work, but I found some places to download it. Before I do though, I had a few Qs...
    - How do you find matches themselves?
    - Is this on the level of legality of kaZaa or something more serious?
    - Is there any risk of viruses, trojan horses, etc?
    Sorry about the paranoia, but I just got a new computer and don't want to mess it up too bad.

    I get all my Milan links from fellow Milan fans. BT files are more underground than Kazaa since there is no website to search for files. BT operates differently than Kazaa does. It is more a word of mouth system than Kazaa's search and download.
    It is just as legal as recording an NBA game on TV and then sharing that tape with your fellow friend. I wouldn't get too worried since most, if not all files, come from Chinese channels which are streamed to the web for free.
    When you download anything off the net there is always a risk of getting a virus. But I must have downloaded at least 20 matches using BT and I have yet to get a virus.

    Freakin awesome!!! I was just searching www.Soccer-Media.com and I found a link of SHEVCENTO the video chronically every Shevchenko goal in Serie A. I was searching for it since it was released just after he scored his 100th goal. I'm in the process of downloading it now. Thanks Fevernova99 :)

    how did you go about searching the site for the Andriy video? For instance, how could I find videos of Real Madrid matches on that site? :)

    I used Babelfish to translate it from Chinese to English. Just by glancing at the site there appears to be quite a bit of Real videos.

    BT is a peer-to-peer program, so you are connecting to other users instead of a central server. It is safe, and very fast using broadband, usually overnight is enough time to download a few games. And of course it is free

    This posting was in the Chinese abroad section because the place that i go to, soccer-media, is in chinese, but it was moved out. As to where to find games if you can read chinese soccer-media will provide you 5 or 6 games each weekend. There are probably more sites out there but you will have to find it. They also have highlights of each weekend. Again a little hard if you cant read chinese...

    Ok if you have downloaded bittorrent already, click on the bottom link and you will be able to see Real Madrid-Real Betis from Sunday. Try it and see if you can stand the picture qualitity and see if you can stand listening to the game in another language...

    Thanks Fevernova. I've been using BT for a long time but had never found such forum for downloading soccer games. Hopefully I can get some games of Euro 04 and AC 04 this summer.

    I know this is not very descriptive, but does anyone know the url for the Chinese(?) site which was broadcatsting one CL match a week during the group games at the end of last year. Will they be continuing this for the knockout rounds? Please respond if you have any idea what I am talking about. Thanks.

    Look this message was orginally posted in the chinese abroad section, so it was meant for the people there who knew how to read chinese. If you want to complain about not being able to read it then go tell the person who moved it out here.

    Here's the Babel Fish URL:

    http://babel.altavista.com/

    Its not a perfect interpretation, but close. Just type in the Target URL and select the language to translate from and to.


    This Soccer Media site is the answer to my prayers!!

    i think you misunderstood me - i wasn't complaining at you, i appreciate the link - i asked if you read chinese only because i had no idea if you could - all i wanna do is figure out how to use the website
