Hello all. I'm basically a lurker around here and occasionally visit to see what movies are in the making. Anyways, I have a question that is likely to be very noob-ish. Is there any way to get the avi.torrent files to download a little quicker? Every time I try and download them they either take forever or never finish. Last night I started downloading the avi.torrent for the Majora's Mask run, and it actually managed to get 85% downloaded within half an hour. Then I left to go watch a movie and came back two hours later to find that it was still at 85%. What gives? How does a 60KB file take over 3hrs to download? Does anyone have any tips on how I can successfully download one of these things?
Oh, here's another question I just remembered that's been bugging me. How do you get the avi's to actually play? The few I've succeeded in downloading always tell me I'm missing a codec, and I think it's the H.264 one. So I downloaded it, and I still got the error message. I suspect that there is a way to tell my video player to use that codec, but I'm not sure how. Is there a way to do this? Or maybe a better question: is there a media player that I can download that is guaranteed to be able to play the avi's distributed by this site?
Any input would be greatly appreciated.
