I´ve already have more than 500GB of WC videos, but that is because I´ve also had the Biathlon and HD versions of Vancouver 😀
By the way, I am looking for the 2002 and 2006 videos. Janne´s site is down, so any chance of put those on torrent files?
Awesome! I’ve been looking for someone with a complete set like myself. I have no biathlon races however. How long does your collection go back because I’m missing the Salt Lake City Olympics in 2002 and the Oberhof sprints from 2005-2006 season. I also got the Olympics in 1080p and 720p but am missing the men’s 4x10km relay, men’s sprint and the mens’ 50km in HD. Can we do a swap of sorts? I can seed the 2002-2003 season (is that the one you are looking for or the 2001-2002?), just give me until Monday to get the races up and I’ll create a season pack for everyone to get.
Where to are you putting them up, i would like to download them as well?
Sorry for the delay, I was a little busy here.
I´ve started to download races regularly from Sapporo 2007. Before that, I have a couple of SLC CC races on Hard Drive, one or two races from Torino which I have somewhere on one of my DVDs (no idea where it is now), plus the classical Olympic 1994 4x10k and one or two older championships (can´t remember which ones right now because I am at work).
I am mostly looking for the Olympic races.
As for the HD, I do have the men´s relay, sprint and 50k in norwegian or swedish language
Just 2 points: 1 – I have NO IDEA how to seed (any help would be great) since I only download from others until now and 2 – My connection for uploading is slow, way less than 1Mb. It could take a while to finish all of them.
Here’s a guide to torrents Aldo… http://www.utorrent.com/help/guides/beginners-guide I would love to get a copy of the older races, especially the 1994 4x10km relay!
I have an italian (RAI) version of the 4x10k, but I found a norwegian torrent http://thepiratebay.org/torrent/3866725/H_ydepunkter.OL.Lillehammer.1994.VHSrip.XviD#filelistContainer
If there is no seeds active, let me know and I will seed my copy (will try to do it over the weekend).
Thanks Aldo, just downloaded the 4x10km relay from the link, there are 6 seeders currently.
Any chance you could post the torrent links to the sapporo world championship in 2007. I also found one link to the individual sprint, but there were no seeders, if you have this file could you please seed it =). Btw does anyone know of a place to find torrent links for races pre-2009-2010.
Thanks, I appreciate it.
I just found this site http://www.rutracker.org that has a plethora of World Cup, World Champ and Olympics races dating back to 1952. Sign up is free and there are seeds for almost every torrent! I thin they have the 2007 World Champs too.
Thanks mate! Can’t wait to register later today, after I’ve figured out the time zones.
A great way to share these videos is Tixati. Go to http://www.tixati.com and install the Tixati software. Then you can create a chat room and either let anyone in or just privately invite people. And then share what you want.
@->doogski–You should never recommend utorrent, it’s a horrible client that tries to install spyware and crap on your system.
Great summary, although there are a couple numbers that I would have liked to see, being from the USA as I am.
54. Number of points Kikkan Randall was from winning the sprint cup.
2. World cup victories for Kikkan Randall this season.
You’re right, I should’ve had something about Kikkan in there. The race for the Sprint Cup was the most exciting aspect of the World Cup Finale. It would’ve been nice to see Kikkan win, but at the same time it was a story-book ending to see Majdic retire with the win and the Cyrstal Globe.
