thats a cracking time, just watched the top gear where clarkson does the ring in a jag diesel and he said "if you had an enzo and where a top racing driver and had a clear track you could do the ring in about 8 minutes" so that time must be really good for the spec C

I have downloaded that application - however the link to download the vid is only 9mg and doesn't open ?!?!

Can anyone rehost it as a quicktime or WMP file ?

as it says at the top, its a bittorrent - you need a client like bitcomet to get the file. ASF is advanced streaming format - its a microsoft protocol that plays in windows media player

All you need to do is install a peer to peer client, then click on the link that has been given. Then simply click download and all will work

A really good client is Azureus, although if you do not get on with this there are plenty of others such as BitComet

Talk directly to me if you like DD. It's downloaded onto bitcomet, but I've no idea how to play the video. Help, before the PC goes out into the street,

have you tried Windows media player, or videolan?

first try opening videolan then open the video file its self.

if not then http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Advanced_Streaming_Format tends to suggest you can rename the video file from *.asf to *.wmv and double clicking should then autoplay it in Windows media player.

i'll have a look tonight as i am at work and can't use bit torrent progs through the proxy server we have at work

(sorry if that sounded like blah blah m'f'in blah)

its a proper question - which stage are you having problems with? Have you got the 60MB file downloaded? Have you double clicked on it? Did you get any error messages? I will help but I need to know whats not working

OK matey, thought you were getting arsey. I'll happily admit I'm a complete bellend with a PC.

1)download bitcomet - check
2)install bitcomet - check
3)click on link in first post - did this and now when I click on it says "torrent task existed"
4)open using bitcomet (if it doesnt already default) see above
5)select directory to save file into - ?
6)wait for it to download - it's downloaded somewhere, **** knows where
7)double click on file and it opens with windows media player - at some point i'm.

Thanks for the help.
