Torrent for vca winners?

ok this has been discussed before, well "why aren't the vids hosted as torrents" as far as I can remember, and there is good reasons for and against. Basically I am NOT re raising that discussion as I don't really care, but.....the vca winners vids are being really slow to dl and just wondering if anyone will up them anywhere even just for a little while?. Cheers.

It WOULD be handy if someone would put them all in the form of a torrent...with the editors' permission of course.

Is it just the winners or the whole org? After testing a couple, they download just as fast for me as any other video.

Its just for convenience. A torrent would download all the videos at once, instead of having to go and individually download each one.

It would also take out the possibility of star ratings and/or QC's.
And I am very "attached" to my QC's you know..

In theory shouldn't alot of people have already downloaded at least some of these videos already? At least I'm assuming that some actually watched the videos before voting, although that is admittedly an unproven theory that might easily be disproven by glancing at the voting results. Anyway, why download every video when many already have at least some of them?

Oh right, I hadn't considered that.

Such naivety at your age. It's unbecoming

I still think this place needs polls and stats, I know the mods have a lot to do already but.....
