Torrents?

[FBWillie]

Anyone know where I can get torrents of KSU football games?

I asked this a while back and was basically told no.

I think the fact that Passport exists makes it difficult.  I would love some KSU torrents if I could get find them.

I thought for sure the Nubs would make one, but I can't find discussion's of any on their forums.

I consider myself to have a decent knowledge of what's going on, but I haven't heard much about torrents except for here.  Could someone give me a quick explanation?  Some sort of file sharing?

It's basically an easy way to share large files:

BitTorrent is a protocol designed for transferring files. It is peer-to-peer in nature, as users connect to each other directly to send and receive portions of the file. However, there is a central server (called a tracker) which coordinates the action of all such peers. The tracker only manages connections, it does not have any knowledge of the contents of the files being distributed, and therefore a large number of users can be supported with relatively limited tracker bandwidth. The key philosophy of BitTorrent is that users should upload (transmit outbound) at the same time they are downloading (receiving inbound.) In this manner, network bandwidth is utilized as efficiently as possible. BitTorrent is designed to work better as the number of people interested in a certain file increases, in contrast to other file transfer protocols.

One analogy to describe this process might be to visualize a group of people sitting at a table. Each person at the table can both talk and listen to any other person at the table. These people are each trying to get a complete copy of a book. Person A announces that he has pages 1-10, 23, 42-50, and 75. Persons C, D, and E are each missing some of those pages that A has, and so they coordinate such that A gives them each copies of the pages he has that they are missing. Person B then announces that she has pages 11-22, 31-37, and 63-70. Persons A, D, and E tell B they would like some of her pages, so she gives them copies of the pages that she has. The process continues around the table until everyone has announced what they have (and hence what they are missing.) The people at the table coordinate to swap parts of this book until everyone has everything. There is also another person at the table, who we'll call 'S'. This person has a complete copy of the book, and so doesn't need anything sent to him. He responds with pages that no one else in the group has. At first, when everyone has just arrived, they all must talk to him to get their first set of pages. However, the people are smart enough to not all get the same pages from him. After a short while they all have most of the book amongst themselves, even if no one person has the whole thing. In this manner, this one person can share a book that he has with many other people, without having to give a full copy to everyone that's interested. He can instead give out different parts to different people, and they will be able to share it amongst themselves. This person who we've referred to as 'S' is called a seed in the terminology of BitTorrent. There's more about the various terms in a later section.

YOUR NOT ALLOWED TO TAKE VIDEO CAMERAS TO NFL AND COLLEGE GAMES.

$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$ passport. 

All you people that buy passport hurt everyone else.  If no one  bought video on the net then it would be free with advertising.


They are also not letting 35mm/pro-cameras with zoom  in, just  digital handhelds..  They have exclusive deals. That means that don't want you in there taking any good photos and Zero video.


F THEM.

When did that start?  I brought my canon 20D with a 200mm lense in last year..  All they told me as I walked in that I couldn't use it for video... When I explained to the guy that it was SLR camera and if was not capable of video... he just looked at me with a  dumb look on his face and repeated... "no video"  I replied:  "I promise, and took my camera in."
