Why, why must BitTorrent hate my computer?

Gah, I never knew the Ant Lion Guard looked so beatiful up close...I also like the way it scratches it's 'nose'.

No, FilePlanet just gives out files in a matter analagous to explosive diarreah.

Yeah, and wait in line, constantly being pestered to buy download time. No, I think BitTorrent, a technology where download rates increase with the number of people downloading, is a much better method.

Phong, is there a torrent out there somewhere?

My God, I really need a new video card. I was getting like 10FPS.

Yeah, there's a few torrents out there, I can't recall where. But BT really does not cooperate with my network for some reason - even if I saturate my measily 128kbit upload stream.

EDIT: Torrent File

Download the Bink Tools. Select it in the tool and then use Advanced Play. Change the blit style to something besides DIB.

Tom's Hardware has a few good mirrors listed. Their own server is always good.

Oh god fucking dammit, why is it an .exe file?

Download the Bink Video Player for MacOS X to view it. The EXE is merely a Win32 player-wrapper.
