Caution, I think the files are corrupted. Attempts to play with a variety
of players, even with advanced codex shows bizarre skipping (like jumping
to every 10th or 20th frame. So it plays, just not decipherable.

They're absolutely fine. Bittorrent files don't arrive sequentially.
With a graphical client like http://azureus.sourceforge.net/ you can see
which parts are already complete.

Almost 50% down... sigh.

hmmm...this is a dvd not a normal divx/mpg file...maybe you need to wait til
you have more of it?

Also, it wouldn't be normal for bittorrent to corrupt files - if you are
using an older client it may appear to get all the files at once and then
'fill them in'


I think I'll try again. Once I get the .vob files, should I then burn them
to a DVD and play them in my DVD player? Usually .vob files will play even
when partially downloaded in my PC-DVD drive, but these skip and act
strangely, as though I don't have the right codex.

Thanks!

Yeah, I'm gonna try again. I've got the first two smaller .vob files, and
about 80% of the first large .vob. Still getting that skipping with CD 2
download, though. Fingers crossed.

ED, did you ever get these files? I see the site http://tracker.sytes.net/
is no longer up.

Yeah, all 8.7 GB. I don't have the original torrent file anymore, and
also don't plan on sharing them from scratch now, sorry.
