Good watching

[Bruno]

Strange, no comment over the story from Ray and Natalia... it was a interesting program who speak over :

The international marriage agency without regulation, over the problem Ray have know with the K1 visa, over russian child of 11 year ( good integration ), over life problem durint the 3 month periode ( woman who remove child from school without say something to man ), over previous daughter from man who don't accept the situation and don't come to the marriage, ...

Really, if you have not see it, you have miss something...

[Michelangelo]

Yep, it repeat today at 19h25 Belgium time... last time...

Take a look at http://bbcworld.com/content/template_tvlistings.asp?pageid=668 for the program in your time zone...

I was positively surprised by the russian daughter from 11 year old... good speaking english... and a good new for Clyde... what she have wish the more was not a bike but a father ...

I saw this about a year ago and saved it onto Sky+, UK's kind of TiVo/PVR.

I recently managed to to rip it onto my Mac so if anyone hasn't seen it and wants to, tough luck cos I'm not sharing it.

Ha, seriously, I will convert it to DivX and share it out. Maybe start RWD's Torrent section of stuff that's not likely to get jumped on by over-legislative US lawyers....

It is a CLASSIC!!

When Ray introduces Nataliya to 'her' dishwasher, 'her' laundry room, 'her' kitchen. Excellent!

"Not mine any more", says Ray, having found his mother replacement......

And he barks and Nataliya and Karina when they say one tiny sentance in Russian....

"Speak English!"

If that marriage lasts I'll bare my arse on Bolton Town Hall steps, paint my genitals blue and change my name to Susan......

Ste,
Please send me that video and any other materials you might have on the Solaris project.  and convert it to NTSC first.   Let's hope their marriage does not last.

[Bruno]

Hello Susan :D:D ... the big problem is the reaction from the previous daughter of the man... she have not wish go to the marriage... good reportage, show a lot of potential problem with foreign relation...

[Ste]

I have it in DVD format - 2.15gb so not practical to sent over internet at the moment. I can encode it to DivX, shound be about 350-400mb when done. I'll create a torrent from it then and rwd-torrent is up and running!!

WRT to other Russian/Soviet stuff I have on puter:

BBC Horizon Programme about Chernobyl - inside the sarcophagus.

BBC Programme called 'Stalin's Skyscrapers' about the huge apartment building in Moscow.

Solyaris - Tarkovskiy with Eng subs.

BBC Drama Archangel filmed in Arkhanglsk.

Lots of Chaif and Splin MP3's

Accidents in Space - a lot about Komarov if anyone knows Soviet Space history.

That's all that isn't really available commercially so shouldn't fall foul of all this anti-piracy nonsense...

I wanted to be a Rock Star for girls not money!

This ain't the first movie of the type.

They did one a few years back in Tver with a guy whose name escapes me at the moment (soemething RIchards I think). But that turned into a disaster in the end anyway as I recall. He had cameramen following him on all his dates and as I recall it ddn't impress most of the ladies none.

The woman he wound up with they ended up splitting anyway.  Never met him or her as it happened just before I made my first trip but the talk was he was a bit of an ass anyway so the results were preconcieved so to speak.

They did a short one hour program on my wife & me last year & have aired it twice since here in Russia (NTV). Wasn't bad but I wasn't impressed the way we were portrayed & told them so, but they got editorial license so what we think don't matter. Next time I'll make them sign a contract that they can't air it till I see it & give the okay.

Ya' live & learn. Just glad it wasn't any worse as it sure could have been.

Right - I've Divx'd it. it's 400mb, 30 mins as Bruno said plus a bit of BBC Scotland on the end, I couldn't be bothered trimming it off!

I've never actually hosted a torrent before, but anyway thus is the url:

"DJ Ray.avi" : Aborting the torrent as it was rejected by the tracker while not connected to any peers. Message from the tracker:     Torrent unauthorised

 
Ok, the problem is simple... it is not seed for these file... it mean no server for upload... the sytem from torrent is very simple... the original computer is the seed system... each other computer who download the file can become a new seed after the download... the file stay always on the original computer and on these who have already download it... so, you need keep your computer on until someone leech the file and become a new seeder... torrent never host a file... it is user from torrent who are the host...

[Ste]

Bog!!

I'm looking into it!!

Ste

[Bruno]

The file is make from 1597 piece from 256 kb ... no seed, no one piece upload, nothing to share !!!

[Ste]

Try again Bruno....

[Bruno]

Always the same... seem to have problem with the peer list... no one peer...

Take a look at http://www.bittorrent.com/guide.html for the procedure...

Check the "6. Start a complete downloader"

[Ste]

This is more difficult than I thought!

I have it shared, I have it in the tracker here, I am seeding, but I am not a peer. I think I need to be a peer too....

Heck, RTFM......

[Ste]

Well, me and my bro tested it out and it works for us!
