Yoga Death Match - "I've just finished making a video about the similarities between the ancient Hindu art of spiritual discipline and the rather more modern art of online gaming." {a short mov by Jim Monroe}

Fucking rocks, dobbs. Extra karma for you.

I'm assuming this rocks, but I've been downloading it for about thirty-five minutes now, and have another half hour to go before it's done. if everyone else on metafilter could hold up for just a minute until I'm done, I'd appreciate it.

Slow torrent. Needs more swarm. Here's a link to the torrent file for the hi-res video.

Yoga flame!
Is it still a pun if you have to point it out?

Ack. No seed. Reseed, anyone?

Here's a mirror of the hi-mov file on my server, though I don't know how long it'll last. Dunno how to make Torrent stuffs and I don't have the lo-file and it's all clogged up trying to get it.

Got it. What you can do, is open the .torrent file, and when it asks you where to save the video, point to where you already have it, that should list you in the swarm as a seeder. Dense lingo, but it's fun when you figure it out, and pretty easy, I'm sure Jim will appreciate peoples using the torrent.

For anyone that doesn't have a bittorrent client, Azureus is pretty straight-forward, and works well. Also, Yoga Deathmatch rocks. I like this guys stuff.
