Find what you want on Internet. Troops.
The other day I saw a Star Wars FanFilm called "Troops". A short-film made in 1997 that was similar to the TV show Cops but, instead of policemen, they were imperial soldiers. It was very good, in all aspects. Filmed in documentary style, and shoot "camera on shoulder". Unfortunately video file quality was terrible.
The file was the one on TheForce.net. 30MB QuickTime .mov. I hate QuickTime. Then I began to search on Google. Nothing, I only found references to that 30MB file. I tried eMule too, and I found two archives, one in MPEG that had better picture but not smooth movement at all (it lacked of frames) and another one, also in QuickTime, that in some parts was better but when movement happened it showed more compression artefacts than the others.
Suddenly, I though that could be a DVD version somewhere and, indeed, it existed. But there were no site to download it. Firefox threw sparks because of the amount of tabs I had opened in searches. And then I found something interesting. In a forum somebody commented that it had the DVD version and that he was sharing it by BitTorrent through a page of which he gave a link.
I was determinate to obtain the video so I enter the web page, a BitTorrent community. But the thing was not so simple. The torrent, the file necessary to download it, could be obtained only if we were registered users. To register in an unknown page does not look so good, for that reason, prudently, I used my "special" email account that I have for these things, and filled up the form with the habitual procedure, without giving any real data. ^^
Quickly, the mail with the registry confirmation arrived. I entered the page again and, finally, the torrent appeared. I downloaded it and my BitCommet rapidly catch it and start to download.
That was yesterday late at night. Today I’ve got the DVD version. I want to express my gratitude to the people who shared it. With things like this, who does not think that networks P2P are very useful?
