Wrong sort of comparison I guess. Most server daemons share files. HTTP servers, FTP servers, Email servers, instant messageners. Bittorrent probably has the most legit use of all "peer-to-peer" software. Its going to be used commercially soon.

It already is.  Blizzard uses it to distribute patches for its World of Warcraft role-playing game.



CCP uses BitTorrent to distribute the executable and patches for their PC game EVE Online.  The game is not carried in stores.

I really have to show this to a buddy at work, he's always making fun of me because my mouth is usaully hanging open when I'm shooting like that, he always says I'm gonna catch flies.

I don't think he'll make fun of this guy.

I hate to see this video make the rounds on the web. If the wrong kind of jackass over there gets it, the guys in the video might become even greater targets than they already are.

I doubt they are worried about that, but it still troubles me.

I'm having a tough time getting the file down, but if this is a screenshot from this video, then I can tell you the sniper in the video isn't shy about what he did.  You can see what he's shooting at.  There are dead bodies everywhere along the wall/fence waaayyy out there.  The guys with the short M16s did a helluva lot of damage also according to the sniper.  Here is the exact rifle, not similar or same model, the exact one:



It's a bushmaster...

This is what he told me "-its hard to see in the video but there are little specs in the road out by the wall and those are bodies"

That's what he WAS shooting at!

He also said his longest confirmed kill was somewhere near 760 yards or meters, not sure which.

Does it ask you to donate through a pop-up everytime you start it? I went to the BitTorrent site and downloaded the newest version 4.04 and it does. This video will not start downloading, I get some error message. But I went to their search page and it downloaded another Blackwater video so something else I'm doing is wrong. Are there any settings I should adjust to get the best use from this torrent program?

Try here www.militaryvideos.net/ I used the Azureus program to grab the file and I never saw any pop-ups, might have changed the last few weeks.

If you get a problem using .torrent files it's the .torrent client program and not bit torrent itself.  Bit torrent is just a simple file format.  Try using bit lord.  That's what I use.  i find torrents on www.torrentspy.com and that's where i got my latest bit lord.  www.bitlord.com should be the address for bit lord.  bit lord is a client program which allows you to see what files are 'stored' in a torrent file and where your downloaded files go.

Another good bittorrent client to use is Azureus

Joe,

Could you ask Travis one question for me:

1)  In genral, how many rounds (of the 77 gr Mk 262, I assume?) did it take before the insurgents went down.

2)  How accurate was the 5.56 round at those distances?  Were you able to make first shot hits?

OK, OK, I lied, that;s more than one question.

Thanks Joe.  I really appreciate it.

Regards,

Justin


ETA:  Joe, if I install the torrent program tonight, will the download still be alive?  I downloaded the condensed (17 MB, if I recall correctly) version but evreyone's been raving about the 128 MB version.

yeah, you should be able to download it at any time.  the way it works is the .torrent file is just a small tidbit of information on where to find a "tracker" for the specific files.  The tracker is some long hexadecimal number or string of mumbo jumbo information that somehow knows where to find the pieces of the file or what they look like.  

When you download the .torrent, your program (bit torrent, azureus, etc.) uses the tracker to find the files on other people's computers and starts downloading each of the pieces that it can find.  as long as there are people sharing the files, called seeders, your computer will be able to get it.  the more people with the file, the faster it's pieces can be downloaded.  

the nice people download the files and leave them in one place so others can get them.  you can watch them if video or run them if programs, but leave them where your program knows to find them and you will be a seeder too :) helping to share the files.

CitySlicker-



as for the Ammo and hitting hajis, I had first hits 95% of the time at ranges under 500yrs which most fell or threw them selves to the ground but got back up and stumbled so I would put 2-4 more rounds in them or until they stoped moving all together. at ranges out to 700 I would have to kentucky windage it in on them but that was just because most of them were movers, anyone sitting still was a dead as hell in very few shots. but the 77gr was great ammo for that day as far as the multiple ranges I was shooting at.

Hey, did the US Military or the CIA sneak some docs in there to dissect the Haji's to check on how the bullets performed?
