BitTorrent question
« on: Thursday 14 August 08 00:17 BST (UK) »
Does anyone know if it's possible to download the bbc iplayer stuff onto bittorrent?   
Could I download from a dvd in my pc?

The aussies would like to see wdytya, and someone has mentioned this facility.

Cheers all

As far as I'm aware, you can't download or store BBC iPlayer stuff, because it uses a special format.

You should be very careful about uploading copyrighted material to bit torrents, because many UK ISP's are now clamping down on illegal file sharing.  Whilst it is technically not illegal to download such material, uploading it for use by others is a totally different matter, and could get you into trouble.

Best Wishes,  Nick.

Ok, so that idea/request is out of the window then.    Not a good idea at all.

Thanks.  Maybe I'll delete the thread.
