Explain is going to be gone for the next few days. I am sort of covering for him.

And that YouTube account has gone away. Bummer.

I'm not sure what I'm missing here.



Can someone explain to this clueless fellow what this thread is all about? Is someone posting torrents or not?

Thanks

Some friends and I get together every 4 or 5 days to watch the race. UTube isn't reliable (they tend to disappear), but a file sitting on my hard drive is.

Yea, Bummer no doubt. I thought I had found a better way to watch/download the rally instead of BT until it was gone this morning when I looked for stage 04.

Some of us like having the video files to play back on other devices, along with HD quality stuff. We are also a backup because last year the normal sources died and left us without coverage. So we are keeping on top of it this year.

Due to legal "Fight Club" reasons, you have to PM me for more info. Nothing more will be posted here.

A lot of those videos are official from the Dakar channel. They post up a bunch every day.

We have all the video files relevant to Dakar, and in several formats.

95% of my rfm invites don't use it after the Dakar season.

Check the Media thread there are alternative ways of getting the videos ;)
