Finally! Been waiting for this thing to become available since it aired on TV. I don't get FX with my provider. Thanks for posting this.

Oil Storm movie torrent - download it!

Unread postby trendal » Mon 19 Sep 2005, 12:28:38

Here's a torrent file for anyone who wants to download and watch the movie "Oil Storm".

This is the first time I've seen it, and it's only 15 minutes in....but GOD DAMN! Did the writers have some kind of time machine that they could see what would happen with Katrina? Too weird...

Thanks for posting this, I've been looking for it. FX hasn't rebroadcast this movie, so I don't feel guilty for using a torrent. After Katrina and the subsequent oil shock I doubt they will ever show it again. We can't very well have 200 million people freaking out about oil, now can we. Instead... American Idol Season Four !! Whoohoo !!

No, you shouldn't have to be a member of MVgroup to get the torrent, as it isn't being hosted on their servers. It's just where I happened to find the link for it 8)

To download it you'll need BitTorrent, you can get it here: http://www.bittorrent.com/

The movie itself is in the DivX format, grab the codec from here: http://www.divx.com/

It should play find in Windows Media Player, provided you have the DivX codec installed.

Not yet. We haven't got to the part where soldiers are guarding Saudi Oil fields and the part where we are in a bidding war with China over a tanker full of crude from Russia!

Yeah, I've got it going too...at 5k/b a second. My ETA is about 29 hours as well.

falser, I hope you're keeping torrent open a while to share the wealth! :P

Are you sure you aren't firewalled there, too?

If you don't let your computer upload some of the torrent while it's downloading, you'll get REALLY poor dl speeds. Your download speed is proportional to your upload speed, for the most part.

I just started seeding it again at 40kB/s so the speed should pick up a bit.

I started downloading the movie last night (around 2am) and it was done by this morning when I woke up. Only took 4-5 hours I think.

I see that Channel BT has done it again! :)

You know, it's rather interesting, because, AFAIK, the guys from MVGroup usually do documentaries ...

I'm watching this now. Holy God. You'll never see this on TV ever again. People would think that FX was making a mock-umentary about Katrina. They predicted the hurricane almost to within days Katrina hit.

When you upload to the swarm you are unburdening the nodes that are uploading to you by doing some of their work. Naturally things go faster when you do that.
