Cyclocross is a very unpopular cycling discipline

If you take the original BitTorrent program, it's little more than a
helper. It sets a MIME type, and all .torrent files you click on in the
browser then get handled by the bt client. BTW, the footage is over an
hour long.

Yeah, they're not the original mpeg files, but embedded in a bt wrapper.

Ewoud, I took a look at these and they, imo, are quite enjoyable. I've only
seen one cyclo-cross and it was quite mild compared to this course, which
had a stunning sharp-turn-over-cliff where nearly 1/3 of the field seems to
take a spill. ;-)

Appreciate your posting of these. Thanks! Keep it up!

Sure. Post both links though, if you will. I'll remove the files from
both sites after a week or so.

Would help if my BT client didn't estimate 17 hours to complete
the download.
