    Fuckers.

    And if I fast forward to the end to make sure it has recorded wrong, I'll see the result.... if it wasn't such a good babysitter for the youngins.

    Will check that out instead!
    It's normally pretty good, but a few times it's got it's self in a tangle. Depends (I guess) a lot on how good your connection is?

    I like the Eurosport coverage downloaded via torrents. It took a while to get used to the Toby/Jules/Spalders show, but there's nobody better during Practice and Qualifying. Those guys live motorcycle racing and it shows in their commentary.

    Gotta a link you can post to their torrent I might have a look if you say its good!
    On a Motorcycle you're penetrating distance, right along with the machine!! In a car you're just a spectator, the windshields like a TV!!

    I get them from Racing Underground. Unfortunately, if you don't have an account you can't hook up to their torrent server.

    To join Racing Underground you need an invite and I don't have any left.

    Thanks for the offer of the nomination if you had any but I am a member shoudla twigged when you said the eurosport coverage DUH! I watched last years rounds of theirs I agree they are very good!

    Found a 9gig one yeh right LOL!!
    Downloading the race now, Eurosport coverage 618mb for Pre-Race Build up, Full Race, Podiums, Press Conference Interviews 30 min download pretty good. Might have to find Moto 2. Didn't watch it last year but it sounds like its worth a go this year! Watch it when my son gets home from work.

    Its a bit hard to choose which torrent to download as some of the descriptions don't tell you exactly what the file contains?? Its a bit hit and miss aye?
    I'll ask you a question whats an RU File? I clicked on one that had big red warnings but no decent description of what was in it? it says not for upload elsewhere?? Does this mean its a racing underground file only? BBC torrent I think?

    RU file = file sourced from Racing Underground

    They ask that people don't go uploading anything sourced from Racing Underground to other sites. Fair enough I say.

    I only download stuff from either lenscap, pitcrew, alonsospeed and occassionally Fenster. Mostly Eurosport but sometimes the BBC coverage.

    Moto2 is awesome. It's the axe murders class. Great spectacle and usually close racing.

    Mysky should have recorded it for me this morning. Without looking (and see any result), how much am i missing?
    It's only when you take the piss out of a partially shaved wookie with an overactive 'me' gene and stapled on piss flaps that it becomes a problem.

    yeh u got that right!! Go Racing underground!! Downloaded the Moto2 and motoGP took less than an hour! Hooked up the projector and home theater to the laptop then downloaded the WSB at Phlllip island over wifi while watching the motoGP! Had the system humming and caught up on all the racing I've missed in one night! all for the cost of 3gig download.

    Be interesting to see how quick the torrents come out after the racing ends when the time differences mean they arn't at night our time!

    Thought the racing was ok no huge fights or dices in Moto2 MotoGP or WSB but they where certainly pushing hard. Not to bad for a rainy night in!!

    Pissed me off too finding out there's everything up to the end of the warm up lap recorded.

    I'm looking for the torrent. Can someone post it here please?
    And I to my motorcycle parked like the soul of the junkyard. Restored, a bicycle fleshed with power, and tore off. Up Highway 106 continually drunk on the wind in my mouth. Wringing the handlebar for speed, wild to be wreckage forever.
