Well, I just want to know from those who download games online. If Auchan is providing you with a solid download then I am going to stop. It's kind of a pain in the ass to do what I do so if someone is doing it and doing it better then, well, no reason for me to continue.

Please let me know.

No Cosmic, NOOO !!! (Caps and multiple exclamation marks must work!)

See, the Problem with those Bittorrent Webs is, that as with every download, you have to let your PC run for the complete download time, which is longer then the megaupload time. Additionally I would not be able to download them from work, which is how I usally do it. If the file is even bigger, the download will take longer as well. I would love a better resolution, but am totally fine with your uploads. They are quick to get and pretty well cut.

I can only speak for myself, but I would totally miss coming home from work to watch the game of the night if your uploads would stop. And I definitly not thanked you enough for providing them!

You know what else? You don't have to download them on Mega, a person can just stream them. So that's another great thing.

I think it's not necessarry to have two cappers doing the same work. Like I said, maybe you could do "spot capping" as a backup so you'd still save a lot of time.

Yes, you guys are right. The .flv files I'm distributing are much larger (at least 1gb) than Cosmic's and are not cut in any way (there is usually around 25-30 min of dead air in the beginning, and commercials in between). I don't do any editing of the game, I just provide the whole darn thing because I'm too lazy to edit things out.

I'd rather keep everything separate and simple, no offense to Cosmic. I think coordinating with another person just gives more work to both people!

Also, NBA League Pass blacks out certain games (for example, the upcoming Laker game on Friday I'm pretty sure is blacked out) so it's good to have another capper.

You're missing the point. Sure, they're two separate cappers, but their chosen medium is what this is about. Like BarcelonaSteve, he can't really download torrents at work. And WindsorPL, he has some reason too. You can stream Cosmic's caps from the site, no download.

COSMIC, I'm surprised of some comments as if your downloads would be difficult to see abroad, I'm in Tanzania and I thank the lord every morning after the game that you are a UK member, keep it up please I fully rely on you for a full live.

lol !

1080i is a resolution of 1920x1080 where the picture is interlaced. Besides, the resolution doesn't matter as much as the video bitrate, which should be over 5M for a 720p cap, let alone a 1080i one...

A quality 720p cap should weight arond 4,5 Gb, so a 1080i cap with a good video bitrate would be around 6-8 Gb... so I wouldn't say that a .flv rip from an internet source is roughly equal to HD 1080i, but more like an XVID SD video.

Hi Martin,

I live in Dar Es Salaam but only since 3 months after 5 years in kenya. Life is good, climate a bit harsh, very hot and humid but wonderful white and deserted beaches north and south of the city, great for diving, snorkelling, fishing etc. It's a beautiful and peaceful country with possibly the best wildlife viewing in the world (Serengeti) and the highest mountain in Africa (Kilimanjaro)for some excellent mounting climbing... I guess I sound rather positive no? There are less nice things like the extremely slow pace of life (but really slow), low quality services etc but I love it.
I'm Belgian and work in Development cooperation, became Knicks fan after seeing one match in NY about 20 years ago.

One of the more interesting and enlightening threads, IMO.

I've downloaded a number of Cosmic files, and a few Knicks torrents. Means I don't have to bug the girlfriend to burn the game for me(I don't have cable and I'm in NY, so LP Broadband is useless for watching a NY game.).

You also have the ability to watch the game when you have the time- which is a great thing, and you don't have to put up with commercials.

A nod of thanks to auchan42 and another to Cosmic.

So I'm getting the feeling you guys still want me to do what I do. Alright. Yet you're at the mercy of whether or not I want to watch this team (lol) and also at the mercy of not wanting to spend half a day (night) uploading a file.

So you get what you get. I think it's halfway decent all things considered. Heck, you're getting a full Knicks game and you're getting it at 250 megs.

Maybe in a few years it'll be no sweat to just compile the 1.1 gigs as is and upload that. But well for now, no. lol.

If you need any invite, let me know. I have plenty of them on most trackers.

I want to second all of the said by Steve!!!!
Im also living in Germany and have the exact same routine... coming back from work and watching Cosmics games!!! Its fast, simple and an INSTITUTION to me and others!!!!!
PLEASE dont stop man I would severly miss you and your vids!!!!!
To me Bittorrentdownloads can only be an addition, whenever you miss a game once in a while but NO substitution!!!!!

Thousand thanks Cos for all your work and effort its really appreciated!!!!!

Cosmic - the upcoming Laker Knick game is blacked out on League Pass since it's playing on ESPN, so will definitely need your help for this one

Where would I find these games that you upload? I live in Sydney and the internet down here on my plan is 2 cents a mb, so the smaller the size the better.

there is a Video Posts link at the top of this page. OR. Or, Cosmic creates a thread called Knicks vs Opponent after every game. Pay attention man!
