http://www.legaltorrents.com has "go open" show!



SOUTH AFRICA, OPEN-SOURCE ADVOCATING, TV SHOW] 'Go_Open' is a 13-episode mainstream-aimed TV series about using open source software, funded by sources including South African entrepreneur and astronaut Mark Shuttleworth's foundation. It includes interviews with major open-source figures such as Richard Stallman, Lawrence Lessig, Jon ‘maddog’ Hall, and Bruce Perens, as well as case studies and discussions of both Shuttleworth's (Ubuntu Linux) and other South African and global projects that have successfully used open-source elements.


edit :
they are .m4 files. I can open them when I rename them to .avi. But I can't hear any sound :(.

I wonder if this type of site would encourage teh creation of more shows like Go Open (The Dodson has some videos he could upload there :D)

P.S. - Altough I mean it, I really just wanted an excuse to go off-topic :-P (I *Can't* help it, anime draws me in!). I remember when Bleach came out. I read the storyline and decided to avoid since I thought it was going to be another lame anime. Instead, I decided to watch the -also starting- My(or Mai)Hime (http://www.animenewsnetwork.com/encyclopedia/anime.php?id=4155) (I only watched 14 eps before I lost interest). About a year later (now), I had nothing to DL so I gave it another shot. First 5 or 6 eps were not so hot.. but boy oh boy once they got going.. they GOT going. I hadn't enjoyed so much a pure mix of comedy with kick **** anime in a long time -if ever-. I'm open to suggestions.

P.S. 2 - Guess we'll need to create a separate thread eh ;) ?

Thanks for the site. It's great to see people useing p2p for legal purposes. But even when I opened all the right ports on my WinXP firewall BitTorrent stil downloads at 15-30MB/s.

If it can't be used for commercial purposes than it's not open source.
