Hopefully i'm putting this in the right place. I also apologize this is quite a bit later than i said it would be, i've been busy, but i'm finally done editing the video from the LS/NICO import shootout in Bowling Green.

First off, this file comes with a giant 56K warning!It's 58 megs. 5:12 long. MPG file.

I also apologize for shaky camera work. It was a new camera and my first attempt at a major video, so bear with me. I was pretty pleased though.

Okay so heres how you go about getting it:-I am hosting it on my personal FTP-Only 4 users can log on at once, so if you can't get thru, just try again later. I may bump it up to 5 later and maybe 6 overnight, but i dont want my ISP to get all mad at me for transferring huge files around and stuff. If anybody has any problems with it, please let me know.-Those of you who are familiar with FTP, please use a real FTP client rather than a web browser. If that doesn't make sense, dont worry about it -The address is:http://ftp://NICO:[email protected]:2121/ (if it asks for a login or pass, they're both "NICO" port is 2121 for FTP clients)In internet explorer, just drag the file to your desktop or whatever and it will copy it to your computer.

Again, if you have any questions, feel free to ask. Hopefully nobody will have trouble downloading it.

Enjoy

-Grant-///MT

you might also try clicking this link directly:http://ftp://NICO:[email protected]

If anybody cares to help out with the hosting let me know!

hmm. if IE wont do it you may want to try http://www.cuteftp.com and use that. it shouldn't be much more complicated.

i can also tell you the DOS commands for it, but that might be excessively geeky ;)

actually, in DOS (Start>Run>"COMMAND" or Start>Run>"CMD")

type:

FTP [enter]OPEN FTP.NAVYSEAL2B.com 2121 [enter]NICO [enter]NICO [enter]GET "importshootout.mpg" [enter]

when its done it will either kick you off or type "CLOSE" or "BYE"

i'm a nerd :-p

my only suggestion if you're having trouble would be to use cuteftp or something else like that. a friend of mine is downloading it now and its going fine.

I maybe could burn CDs. This would also allow full quality video :)How many do you think we'd need? Where's the meet?only problem is that it takes me a long time to burn CDs so i couldn't make a whole lot.

well i've confirmed that it can be downloaded by IE, cuteftp and thru DOS and works on all accounts. Fred, you might try deleting the partial file or downloading it to a different location, resume might not work perfectly thru some clients
