Hey all- a little friday evening treat; footage from Sears Point back
in '88, with the 200 quattros ripping up the track (and then doing
some serious power drifts in the rain...and some so-so AWESOME
roaring 5 cylinder sounds!) You MUST have a bittorrent client to
download (popular ones: the "official" client, uTorrent, and
Azureus. uTorrent is a very small download, about 130kB: http://
www.utorrent.com/download.php)
There are 3-4 of us seeding the file, so there should be decent
bandwidth available. Yes, it's from a website, but I wanted a lot of
people to see the file without swamping the guy's webserver, and
bittorrent does that sorta thing well (your computer shares back to
others pieces it has already downloaded. If you want to speed up the
download for others, continue to leave the bittorrent program open
after the download is complete; you can adjust how much bandwidth it
uses, too.)
Here is the Bittorrent metafile (NOT the video- this is the file you
use to tell the bittorrent client how to download the video file):

Save that file, open it with the bittorrent client, and it'll
download a windows media player file (sorry, only format it's
available in) that is about 24MB.
If you are behind a home router, you will get much better speeds
by forwarding the correct port number (which varies- uTorrent tells
you which port , and allows you to 'test' it.) If you need further
help, please do NOT post to the list or ask me....google "bittorrent
FAQ" or similar...there are literally dozens of guides out there to
explain it all.
Please do NOT publish on any bittorrent tracker sites or such, but
feel free to share on Audi/car enthusiast email lists (and please
mention my request not to post/publish it on trackers.)
