so i have been trying to download the day the earth stood still and i keep getting large files w/ lots of sources that say they are .avi, but then they end up being 3 min. and 20 sec. video clips? am i missing something? how can i prevent this from happening?

it's probably too soon to get a legit avi.
read reviews of the downloads before wasting your time.

this is true. but i have been using the pirate bay and because so many people are downloading, it goes slow as fuck. so i gotta use limewire.

why are the files so big though?

so i gotta use limewire.


Well there's your problem.

Seriously, you're using limewire and expecting legit results? C'mon now.

NOTES:
Right this is a re-encode of the russian ts mixed with optics audio (from the repack) and there subs.
The original video is really good for such an early release.....the main problem with it is it lacks some colour,alot
of contrast and there's alot of glaring.
The audio is direct and is pretty good....some noise here and there but nothing major at all.
The subs on the original video are in russian......hence the need for the subpack,and yet again nice work on the subs optic.


WORK DONE:
Stripped optics audio and muxed it to the russian video (same source as the rest).
Once done it was a case of tweaking the video......for this i increased the contrast alot,added a touch more colour,gamma and lum,also
i needed to lower the rgb black base alot aswell to sort the glares out.
Finally i hardcoded the subs in yellow so can read them more easliy,because they slightly overlap the russian ones.

Do you even understand how bittorrent works? Unless you mean the site, for which there are many alternatives. Not that piratebay's ever really slow.

iiii got iiit

Niggas don't know.

P2P is good, the only fake files are with new movies but I rarely download them anyway.
