I tried the aussietorrents but I'm not quite sure how to follow through. Any help would be appreciated. Cheers

Could you tell us what exactly "Tri-Nations" is? Is it restricted to Australia? What types of games do they play? I've never heard of this in my life.

[Sleepy in Seoul]

Yes, it really is only Australia. They play these games only once every three years, hence the name. They are also played in a round-robin style tournament between the states, culminating in a best-of-three fiinal series. The game played is a peculiarly Australian hybrid of croquet, gumboot throwing and crutching, all done while riding Miniature Shetland ponies around the Bathurst racing track. It has to be seen to be believed.

The Tri-Nations is a rugby tournament held every year involving NZ, Aussie, and Sth. Africa. If you want to watch a decent sport that doesn't involve a bunch of overpaid poofters falling over and crying every 2 mins (which is very boring), you should check it out.

Wormholes do you know what time the game will be released?

[SHANE02]

Yes thank god for Aussie Torrents.

[quote="wormholes101"][quote="Alan Partidge"]do you know what time the game will be released?[/quote]

Usually 12- 24 hours from kickoff. The games have have to be recorded, encoded (which takes several hours) and then seeded. If a game is played Saturday night NZ, it's usually ready to go Sunday morning in Korea.

Don't get in a a big hurry to see the games. Remember the guys that are releasing the games are doing this out of their own generosity and harassing them to release faster won't get you anywhere...[/quote]

Yeah I realise that so I never ask at torrents. They're great guys for doing this and keep me sane here. Have you heard about mediazone?

No, what is that?


BTW, you need to work on your "quoting" skills! [/quote]
Yeah I know. I'm a computer retard.
Mediazone is a service where you can watch games live or on demand through your computer. I'm thinking about getting it. Oztorrents is good and free, but it'd be nice to not have to rely on other people and also watch games live. For about 120k you can get the full package, i.e. all comps.

[vercs]

Mediazone has just started and looks great and at only 120 USD??? would be perfect. However, here in South Korea you will not be able to watch the games live as they are only available on an 18 hour delay due to licensing issues....in Japan they are not available at all.
