Is there an ftp you can upload the entire thing to once you are done, in mpeg1 or 2 format?

then we could d/l it and watch it on our pc and you wouldn't be selling it and not likely to get into any troubles

Douglas, the answer is of course no. I have been trying to get the files for many weeks. It's not too bad. After all, we can always go to athens2004.com and look at the bout results in text.

Do you mean once you get the rest of the parts, you can't upload it to an ftp for others to share or put it in your pc directory for limewire or emule for filesharing purposes, etc?

No Doug, that is not what I mean. It is certainly possible that people upload the files to an FTP or share the files through filesharing services. The problem is that nobody that has the videos is willing to share them. All I can say is that if I ever get the files doug, I'll do my best to make sure you get a copy too.

And me? And him? And her? x1000?

I'm not in the video-loop either, but I don't think there's a secret society hording the video. Someone will have to pay big money if the video is distributed on a big scale -- either in bandwidth or DVDs/CDs. Things are just getting sorted out so that no one person has to donate thousands of dollars. The cost will be distributed among the people who are interested; it's still cheaper than flying to Athens. You will see the video (I will see it too), it will just take time.

Give me the files. I host an FTP for most of each day. I don't think my DSL provider will care if I use up bandwidth. It's not like I'm running a website or anything.

[Duglis]

But Cowpaste, WHO HAS the files to give you??

I would send round the footage however it would be quite expensive for me. I know at least one person who has the footage over here and he is working on something. Some guys on the UK board are trying something out but I don't know how well it is working out at the moment.

Have a look at this thread on the UK forum and we'll sort you out.
