cycling torrents (internet download FYI)

I dont know anything about this site, but am checking it out.

cyclingtorrents.nl

this may be the answer to our (US) cycling viewing prayers...

OK - no replies -

So listen up - this is what I have been able to do because of this cycling torrent website -

Watch la fleche wallonne in french (2009 race) -
watch a documentary on the tour de france (in english!)

etc...

there are many offerings of local euro races - but the way a torrent site works it requires others to download the files to spread the availability to others. There is nothing on this site (at least from what I can gather) that is illegal - everything is broadcast TV recordings. It is (for me at least) wonderful to be able to watch cycling on tv again - and not just LA crap - but the real deal. It makes fantastic background noise while working or when working out.

Give it a try! It is easy to do - all you need is a progrem (bittorrent or similar - I just use Ubuntu's built in program but for windows users there are free torrent programs like bittorrent...) and a viewing program - ie VLC (free too!)

If, like me, you miss quality cycling on TV (almost none in the US) this is a close second.

It reminds me of my college days in Brussels.

Cool chit!
