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

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
