Help for the computer ignorant
I can’t find a program that will play this file – does anybody have any suggestions?
This should work for you. I’m pretty sure that media player plays .iso files as if they were normal .mpg or .wmv files.
ಠ_ಠ
I need a mini-tutorial
I downloaded that program, but was unable to play the torrent.
How does anybody watch these things?
Also, why are they available in such werid files?
And what the heck is a “torrent” anyways?
My frustrations are mounting…any help would be appreciated!
Two-thirds of the earth is covered by water, the other third is covered by Kotsay...in his prime...like 3 years ago.
I don’t use the VLC program, but I hear it works well.
The files are written in a strange format because they are intended to be written onto DVDs and played using the actual disc. What I do is use this program to watch the file.
That program acts like a virtual dvd drive within your pc and will play the file like its a physical dvd. What you do is “mount” the file onto the program (which is basically the same as using the program to open the file) and it will begin playing in your default media player (iTunes, Windows Media, etc). Hopefully this works for you.
ಠ_ಠ
In order to download and watch the game you first need a torrent program:
http://www.utorrent.com/
Then make the preference screens look like mine.
Secondly you need to know how all this works. There are two parts to every torrent… one is the map of where the treasure is hidden (tiny file) and the second is the treasure (huge file). The link at the top of the page is the ‘torrent file’ or the map… if you have uTorrent program installed on your comp, then open the map with uTorrent. The uTorrent program will then begin to download the ‘treasure’ or what we call the ‘torrent’… i know it’s confusing.
Once the ‘treasure’ is fully downloaded you need to play it. Download this program.
http://www.videolan.org/vlc/download-windows.html
Open the VLC program then drag the ‘treasure’ file over the VLC player and it should start to play.
Why are they called torrents? Because it describes how the technology works… instead of downloading a file from a single location (1:1) why not keep track of everyone that already has the file and download small parts from all of them at the same time… this is call download by ‘swarming’… or a ‘torrent’ of data… (1:unlimited number).
How can you tell the diff between the map and the treasure? First off, the map is tiny and the treasure is huge… the map will have a file extension of .torrent… the treasure, in this case, will have a extension of .iso.

Danzig & Berkelium...thank you!
I’ll give this a shot. You guys should make this a How-to-View-Torrent-FanPost!
Two-thirds of the earth is covered by water, the other third is covered by Kotsay...in his prime...like 3 years ago.
That would be dangerous.
Using torrents is a privilege, not a right. In order to do it safely you need to be technically proficient… which is why I wouldn’t recommend it to anyone and is something a simple fanpost can’t teach you how to do. In fact if you use a wireless router, then you probably won’t get past the ‘port forwarding’ procedure.
Anyway, if you don’t do it safely you can expect to get attacked by viruses at a rate of 1 in 50 files you download and expect to have your downloading activity tracked by the FBI and almost every major media company all of which might eventually sue you.
Torrents are illegal and the media companies are putting tons of fake torrents out there with viruses, spyware and trackers. It takes someone familiar with these tactics to avoid them…. for casual computer users… this is just too much to handle and you will eventually get f****ed by them.
Downloading Cal game torrents are safe because we actually know who the source is and can trust him… but I would not recommend going beyond the torrents promoted on this site.
wow...thanks for the heads up
does that mean Cal torrents are also illegal?
Two-thirds of the earth is covered by water, the other third is covered by Kotsay...in his prime...like 3 years ago.
I would add to this...
While you need to know what you are doing with torrents to avoid spyware, viruses, etc…. (Here a good article on how to avoid bad torrents)…
There is absolutely no way to prevent having your basic internet identity (IP Address) tracked anyone else that is downloading or uploading the torrent file. Any torrent file that is freely available to the public is able to be tracked by any person or organization who is semi-competent.
The Cal games are from a trusted source, and you can know they won’t have a virus, etc. But there is no way to know if Cal Athletics (or any applicable copyright holders) is tracking every single computer that is downloading the file. With that info, they may be able to take legal action, but this is a very complicated issue.
If you want to know anythign about torrents, check out www.torrentfreak.com.
They have a good tutorial on basic torrent use.
Also, though danzig said that p2p (which includes torrents) are illegal, this is not actually true. It is illegal to violate the copyright that someone else holds. Certain things you download over the bittorrent protocol do just that. Other files are available for download over BitTorrent because it is a very efficient platform for distributing material. Either way, certain groups want to keep track of their copyrighted product. TorrentFreak has a great write up on how this works.

does anyone burn these to DVD - on a mac?
I got the .iso file (finally) finished downloading, and double-clicked it, and it tried to start up DVD player (I’m running Mac OS X 10.5), showed one or two interlaced frames then quit.
I’ll try VLC, which I have but forgot about when i was at home.
But I’d like to burn it to disc, and watch it on my big screen TV. What program would you use to turn the .iso file into a working, playing, DVD? On a mac?
Stand the whole game, stay to the end, and start yelling while they're still in the huddle. GO BEARS

Don't use iDVD... but Disk utilities
use “Disk Utility” :
Open Utilities → Disk Utility → Images → Burn. Select the ISO and choose burn.
