The Red Baron

DerRoteKampfflieger

You need to get a Torrent download program such as 'Bitlord'.
There are many other similar programs which allow you to use the Mininova link.
Search for 'TheRed Baron' - gets you about 58 Torrents.
Pick one about 700MB in size - that will give fairly good quality.
And also one with lots of seeds.
Next screen tells you to download - press, then 'Open' then 'OK' and the Torrent will take over and download.

The bad part about torrents is that they take a ridiculous amount of time to download a file, your average torrent is that way at least. The whole deal with torrents doesn't make a bit of sense. I mean, why do you have to use a torrent? You could create a website like FileFront where you simply downloaded one large file, and boom... you're done... but no, we have to have things complicated.

I personally use Rapidshare for these things, but even then, that site is still pretty bad in terms of quality downloading. It's slow (but faster than most torrents), strict (you can only download one file every 15 minutes), and generally poor when it comes to service (buying a premium account doesn't really remove any of the restrictions; you're still limited to downloading only 20GB of material per day; break that limit, and you can't download a thing for 90 days).

Because those files which you describe can be tracked where as a torrent cannot be tracked but by the person who uploaded it.

I just finished watching the movie and it was great. I think this topped Flyboys. The aerial battles were intense and amazed me. Towards the end they should have showed when they photgraphed Manfred and they should have shown his last fight. Other than that it was a great movie. Its a bummer they didnt show it here in the U.S.

Best quote in the movie: Nurse: You saved this man's life
MVR: No, I shot him down

1) The Schweidnitz residence really does resmble the actual building.
2) Verrry clever of those Germans to copy the Jenny design...
3) Kate (Leana Headey) is a total babe. (Which according to Google Translate emerges as "total babe.")

You also need to check the comments for each torrent if there are any before you download.

NEVER download any games. I downloaded what a friend told me was a safe version of BF2 and upon installation it removed the system32 file from my computer, so be careful and read the comments.

The Red Baron

I just finished downloading the movie. It took about 6 hours.

The 701.59 MB copy by Eseeds - 2776 Seeds works good.

Yes, it was great but I have to say the sound engineer is an idot. The Albatros engines sound like P-51 engines. My question is WHY? Why do they have to show such stupidity? These movie producers are stupid at this point in time....
Stupid!

I liked it a little better than Flyboys. Sort of the same movie. Not as much flying as I would have liked, but what there was was very good for CGI.
