91 Dolphins 16 Bears 13 (OT)
It doesnt look good for the 5-6 Dolphins as they play the 9-2 Bears at Soldiers Field in the driving snow.

The Dolphins without their injured star LB John Offerdahl play fairly evenly in the first half except for a Sammie Smith fumble close the goaline.


During the second half the Bears coached by Mike Ditka and Quarterbacked by Jim Harbaugh score again and look like they will pull away until they comit a couple of special teams errors .

Dan Marino ,Mark Clayton and Jim "Crash" Jenson take advantage of the opportunity and tie the game with minutes left.The Bears have a chance to win the game but miss the FG.

The game is won by the Dolphins in OT as Mark Clayton make a miraculous catch as he is laying on the ground.

In an interview after the game Don Shula said that was one of the finest catches he had ever witnessed.

The quality of the Video and Audio is good.

12-03-73 Steelers W30-26

The original MNF crew,Howard Cosell,Dandy Don Meredith and Frank Gifford host this transmission with a guest appearance from Jack Nickalaus.​
The Steelers come into the Orange Bowl expecting to give the SB champions a run for their money.Their core players from their SB and Dynasty years were already on their team.​
But they run into a buzzsaw as the Dolphins totally dominate them in the first half​
30-3.This is one of the finest examples of what the Dolphins were capable of doing to an opponent.You will see Csonka ,Griese,Mercury Morris ,Jim Mandich and company at their best.​
Dick Anderson has one of those dominating games where he seems to be everywhere intercepting 4 passes 2 returned for TDs which tied a record at that time.​
The video quality is very good (Better than SB7 and SB8) and the Audio is good as well except I could not play it in my Standalone player because apparently it couldnt read the frequency or the bitrate of the audio.Other members did not have trouble with it.​

If you want to load this game you need to sign up at the site with your FH name and post on the Forum thread Crunch's Corner for the link.Those who are regulars have the link waiting for them in their PM.

SEEDING
To make these torrents work it is very important that you stay on seeding for at least 24 hrs after you have finished particularly if you have a high speed (BW) connection .

As a bare minimum you should upload at least as much BW you have downloaded.

Its not a good idea to load to many torrents at the same time as our total bandwidth would be spread too thinly in order to do a good job of seeding.
On our wish list are the following games (In no particular order);
01/02/82 -- San Diego 41, at Miami 38 (ot) (the Epic in Miami)
10/09/83 -- Buffalo 38, at Miami 35 (ot) (Marino comes off the bench)

What is a torrent ? Basically it a file sharing system.The way it works is that a fellow member records the game,edits the commercial and uploads the game to a torrent site.


To download a copy of the game You need to first install a client (Program).Then you open the torrent file (A text file which gives instructions to your client) and it will start loading the video file on your HD.Here is a link to the client we recommend.

http://www.bittornado.com/

.A very good media player that will read most codecs or incomplete vob files is the Videolan player.Here is the link.http://www.videolan.org/vlc/


The DVD size videos need special viewers such as WinDVD and PowerDVD.To watch the DVDfile on your PC just open the vob.files.

To burn a DVD try the following tips

They are already a playable DVD.
The structure of a 'DVD' is just 2 file folders, an AUDIO_TS and a VIDEO_TS, with all of your .IFO, VOB, etc files being in the VIDEO_TS folder & the AUDIO_TS empty. When you select a "DVD Video" option with Nero or some other software all it does is create those 2 folders & arrange your files in the one.

If you re-create that structure on your PC, then you can burn straight to DVD with no problems with any software you normally use




For more info about torrent technology read the following FAQs.

http://dessent.net/btfaq/

For those with a technical background
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bittorrent

We request that you roll back through the thread if you have any questions.The information you seek may have already been answered.


No torrent can be successful without the participation of encoders(Those who capture the video, encode and upload the torrents),seeders (Those who stay on after they finish loading to help out other members who are trying to finish) and leechers (A misnomer as they are also sharing their BW as they are trying to finish). If you are interested please post on this thread.

The torrents usually start slowly and build up downloading BW (bandwidth speed) as those who finish stay on to seed for those who have not finished.If done properly it has an snowballing effect.






If you are experiencing slow download speeds or you suspect you have Firewall issues to overcome you may want to forward your ports.Try the following procedures.(Only for PC literates)
http://www.portforward.com/help/pfprogression.htm also
http://p2p.weblogsinc.com/entry/0401842428674831/ Remember when you forward your ports you also have to find the place in your client software that specifies the port range it uses and make sure that it matches the port range you specify in the port forwarding section of your router config












To upload a torrent you first have to make a torrent file.You can use a program called Maketorrent 2.1 for this purpose.Link

http://krypt.dyndns.org:81/torrent/maketorrent/index.phtml

Its a simple procedure.The most important information is the URL of the tracker you will be using.

 
I simplified the top thread post a bit as I realized that some of the newbees were being overwhelmed with all of the information.

Anyway we were not doing much encoding.If anyone wants encoding advice we will be happy to help you.
 
Congratulations to the following new members for making the Power user status.

Good job guys.
 
I am having a tiny problem with torrents.

I am showing yellow smiley in Azureus while downloading your games while I am showing green smiley downloading other stuffs. Why is that?

According to the torrent site, it says you aren't connectable. Is 55555 the right port for your client?
 
I thought we had already seeded this game. Already erased it from my hardrive as games were piling up. It gave me a problem with the audio file trying to get it back on my drive but were all good now.

No.I was having trouble with the Audio so I bypassed it until I heard from others who had the file.Icestorm and you confirmed it was OK.Maybe you mixed up the torrents.

You are uploading OK on so I gather you resolved the problem.
 
Yeah, I am using 55555 as port. It was working fine until maybe few days ago then all I can get is yellow smiley. I don't understand why??? The other torrents is showing green smiley, only fins game is showing yellow....
 
I am thinking maybe it is because I am also downloading from other site. Will it cause sone nat problems?? Because other site's torrents is showing green smiley while all from your site is showing yellow smiley... If so, then how can I solve that problem?
 
I'm downloading and will try to seed as long as needed. Haven't been downloading lately as I had ran out of space and needed to burn some games.

Does your client use more than 1 port or just one port? If it's using the same port then that might be why it isn't working if you're downloading from another site. I use ABC and it lets be choose a range of torrents with each port going to a torrent so I'm always connectable.

Ya I was mixed up. There was a point there where we were retrieving games
almost everday it seemed. :D

I never thought there would be this many games to share, especially the old ones. My hats off to you Mr. Crunch and all others for all the time and work you have put into this. :drinkers:
