Indio 375 #511 Posted June 13, 2017 8 hours ago, TeamLeader said: Everyone involved is only there for the very short term. Nobody is playing the long game or looking to build a long lasting legacy. Unfortunately that's the way of the world these days and you're not going to change it. It's not just sailing, it's every sport. Fast four tennis, Twenty/20 cricket (or as it's become officially known because 'Twenty/20' was too high brow for modern generations - Big Bash), the ridiculously juvenile named V8 Supercar racing, E-Sports (whatever the F that is) and just about every other sport you can possibly think of. They've all been dumbed-down to be as short as possible and pack as much 'action' in all the time at the expense of strategy, patience & tactics. To appeal to the ADHD generation, it has to be all-action, dancing girls, fireworks and explosions ALL the time. Every sport these days is trying to become the equivalent of Stadium Monster Truck Racing with a heavy does of WWE thrown in on top. If it doesn't make a 4 y.o. boy stand up on his chair and scream in excitement until he's blue in the face, then it doesn't count. This is the market the America's Cup is trying to tap because everyone involved wants to become multi-millionaires as quickly as possible and then leave. They've concluded the fastest way of achieving this is to sell it off to pay-TV broadcasters as much as possible using the success of the San Francisco event as the selling brochure. It's classic 'pump+dump' strategy used in the stock market. The pump was the unexpected success of the San Fran 2013 cup, now we're experiencing the dump part of the cycle where everyone cashes in but what's left of the commodity afterwards is an empty husk of nothing. Nobody will care about that though because they'll all move on to become property developers building holiday resorts in Miami. One thing's for sure, ETNZ will not beat Oracle no matter what happens. Larry Ellison can't let NZ mess up all the above plans after the years he's put in lining the nest for his mates Russell, Iain & Jimmy, no, no no. Mark my words, when we see Oracle again at the start of the finals, they will have a completely new boat. It will have the same cyclor pump system that NZ has now, it will have the inverted gullwing F4U Vought Corsair foils and they will probably change 3/4 of the crew for US Olympic cyclists trained by Lance Armstrong & the 'doctors' from the US Postal Service Tour de France race team. Even if all that doesn't work, they'll just do what they did in San Francisco 4 years ago and change the rules of the game mid-way through the event from a best of 13 races to a best of however many races it takes until Jimmy is in the lead and then it's over. It's not as ridiculous as it sounds. That's exactly what happened in 2013. Right up until ETNZ got to their 8-1 lead, it was widely and loudly reported it was a best of 17 race series. Then someone actually sat down and worked out the mathematics of what 8 race wins to NZ meant in a best of 17 race series with a 2 point penalty to the other competitor for cheating and realised it meant NZ had already won mathematically as there weren't enough races left for the US to get more points. At that stage, no-one heard the words '17 race series' ever again and it very quietly became a 19 race series instead. It's very hard to kick goals when one competitor has your posts and runs away with them just as you're lining up to take a kick. Don't be at all surprised if this 'best of 13 race' finals becomes a 15, 17 or even another 19 race series by the time they're done. It'll be however many it takes for Jimmy to take the lead, then it'll be the 'Greatest Sporting Comeback Moment in History' all over again. Manufactured excitement like only modern sports can do! Haha...well argued. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

TeamLeader 0 #550 Posted June 18, 2017 For anyone still struggling with BitTorrent, I would like to highly recommend qTorrent as the choice client to download with. I was using µTorrent, but after multiple instances of the app just randomly deleting my entire downloads folder without a trace for no apparent reason necessitating the use of disk restoration/undelete software to get the data back (not even in Recycle Bin), I moved to Transmission recommended elsewhere in this thread. Transmission is not very user friendly and hides itself from traffic throttling software and firewalls too, making it very hard to configure how you want it with third party software. qTorrent solves both issues. It doesn't seem to behave in a manner completely out of user control like µTorrent does and it doesn't cloak itself from all the other traffic control software you may like to use in conjunction.

ibsailn 0 #556 Posted June 18, 2017 Here is a Torrent of the Prime (NZ Free to Air replay of Sky coverage) which includes both races (day 1 -- Race 1 & 2) and all the talk before and after (Full 720x578 Satelite freeview Stream). Also includes the few ads between races (sorry, can't really be bothered to edit them out). Let me know if people want this and I can keep posting, but it will be much later than rudder's files as I have to wait to come home from work, pull files off my DVR, then upload to my seedbox and create the torrent. I will be saving these for my own purpose, so not a big deal to post here if people want the files. As file is big (about 1.5gb), I will not be providing google drive links. This is my first time ever creating a torrent myself, so let me know if there are problems.

Do you use a Mac, Windows, tablet or what? W7 Ultmate x64. It's not an unknown issue if you google it, but I've been unable to find a definite cause. Could be AV, could be a bad Microshit update patch causing havoc. Just don't know. It was good for a long time working without a drama, but just recently this has started happening for no apparent reason. I have been applying update security patches recently though, so that's where I'm pointing the finger. I was also using a very old version of µTorrent too. The last one released as proper shareware before they sold out and the bloat started with embedded ads etc. I don't do ads, so that's another good reason to switch to qTorrent instead. It's still proper shareware for now with no built-in ad delivery BS. As long as your install is working fine and not doing weird stuff, then I'd leave it well enough alone.

Great to have a second backup source just in case anyway if Rudder has a problem down the track with his stream source or recording hardware. Don't worry about the ads, they can be chopped out losslessly easily enough afterwards. Time difference is no bother.

Let me know if people want this and I can keep posting, but it will be much later than rudder's files as I have to wait to come home from work, pull files off my DVR, then upload to my seedbox and create the torrent. I will be saving these for my own purpose, so not a big deal to post here if people want the files. As file is big (about 1.5gb), I will not be providing google drive links. This is my first time ever creating a torrent myself, so let me know if there are problems. Using the same trackers as Rudder has been using: udp://tracker.coppersurfer.tk:6969 udp://tracker.leechers-paradise.org:6969 America's Cup 35 - 2017 NZLvsUSA Day 1 Race 1-2.mkv.torrent Always good to have a backup sources especially at this end of the game, so thanks Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

NO is a great interview, but I don't think he or CD are very good live commentators and Todd Harris is just annoying. His insistence on dumbing things down and having the color commentators explain the most basic of things rather than calling what they're seeing is infuriating. Non-sailors are not going to watch this so I don't know why NBC continue with this style of coverage. Alastair and Ken on the other hand are a class act and seem to have great rapport - the Brit may not have a sailing background but he seems to have come up to speed pretty quickly and while Kenny sometimes gets the odd thing wrong, his enthusiasm and general sense of what the fuck is happening makes him a great color man IMO.

I just wish to fuck Ken would learn how to say something like: "VMG is the component of your speed in the direction the wind is blowing", or (mostly true) "VMG is how fast you are moving towards the next mark" rather than long winded non-explanations about angles etc that don't actually explain it. It is an issue that comes up in every race so figure out a quick explanation and spare us all the waffling. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

NSP 62 #566 Posted June 18, 2017 ^ Perfect scenario would be to have NO as the third member of the global feed team. They're miles ahead in quality and NO would be able to give his insight while Alastair and Ken do most of the filler crap Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

There might be something wrong with the torrent on this one or else my downloading client is just complete crap. The torrent crashed my client on loading. When I eventually did get it to load there were no sources to be found. Eventually downloaded from Google Drive instead despite the hugely confusing numbering of the races! Race 1 is actually race 3 on Google Drive and downloads as Race 3. Race 2 is actually Race 4 on Google Drive but downloads as Race 2. For those playing along you need to rename Race 2 to Race 4 and keep Race 3 as Race 3 if you downloaded from Google Drive. I don't know the state of the numbering of the files in the torrent because I couldn't get them, but assume they're the same. 1 becomes 3 and is 3, 2 becomes 4 becomes 2 but is actually 4 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
