And this is before the fresher's even properly return
[14:35:03] <Bjerreo_> how does someone go about getting a programme off TV (eg. prison break) and onto DC the same day?
[14:35:16] <Bjerreo_> and with good quality
[14:35:34] <astropoint> it's completely dependant on who, off campus, is willing to send it to campus
[14:35:45] <astropoint> or who on campus has enough contacts to get stuff
[14:35:55] <Bjerreo_> no i mean
[14:35:56] <Bjerreo_> like
[14:36:02] <Bjerreo_> actually getting a .avi file
[14:36:08] <Bjerreo_> from a broadcast show
[14:36:14] <astropoint> yes.....
[14:36:25] <Bjerreo_> yeah
[14:36:27] <Bjerreo_> so what do u mean?
[14:36:31] <astropoint> umm
[14:36:37] <astropoint> somebody off campus ahs to download it
[14:36:43] <astropoint> and then send it to somebody on campus
[14:36:52] <astropoint> via a transfer method that isn't blocked
[14:37:01] <Bjerreo_> download from where
[14:37:10] <astropoint> torrent sites mainly
[14:37:15] <Ickenahm> bittorrent or some such
[14:37:18] <Bjerreo_> i mean they dont sit in front of their TV with a digital camcorder

I think that one was just a communication breakdown there, I can imagine it being quite difficult to explain without knowing what the word 'rip' means. He probably just doesn't know some computers have TV cards in and can rip off these.

There are now of course quite a few people coming online from off campus and not knowing why they aren't getting the download speeds they got on campus last year
- [13:04:02] <webby> i'm off campus how can i make it download like before
- [13:04:07] <astropoint> but then they implicate themselves
- [13:04:19] <astropoint> webby - you mean the speed?
- [13:04:28] <webby> yes
- [13:04:34] <astropoint> YOU BLOODY CAN'T!
[2006-09-26 03:03:59] <AmErIcAnPsYcHo> strange the speed is incredibly slow

Trying to explain how to change the address he connects to
[08:32:51] <young> what does that mean 'right click on the entry for twofo'?
[08:33:03] <astropoint> ok
[08:33:04] <young> is it right click on mouse?
10 mins later, once we've got through he trick business of explaining (4 times) what the new address is, and whilst it is physically just me and him on the hub...
[08:42:08] <young> why do I have to do this?
[08:42:17] <astropoint> do what?
[08:42:19] <young> I've been using this on campus, and didn't have prob.
[08:42:30] <young> change to different hub
[08:42:32] <astropoint> count the number of users on this hub
