    This should probably be in the racing section but I didn't even want to go in there today for fear I'd stumble across the result or some hint to the result of the race on Sunday. My DVR screwed up and long story short I missed both the live AND the replay on Sunday. Sometimes they'd replay them in the middle of the week if I remember correctly, but I checked speedtv.com and no luck for this one.

    So my question is, can I sign up on f1.com or another site and watch the race on my computer? I've done it before with motogp so I was thinking it might be possible in this instance.

    Any help would be appreciated and please don't elude to anything! I've sheltered myself the last day or so and managed to remain un-informed.

    Thanks.

    Here's where you can download the torrent and use it to get the file using a program like BitComet or Azureus. If you wait for the PDTV_Orenji, you usually can download it very quickly, but there are already a couple up there ready to download: http://www.mininova.org/search/formula+1/added

    Hmmm, I'm sort of new to the whole torrent thing. Is it the same as like Limewire?

    Alright so i think I'm on my way. I DL'd Azureus and clicked the link you gave me. I uploaded the torrent to Azureus and now it's DL'ing in there. I assume when it gets to 100% and is done I just click and watch it?

    The only part that I'm still confused about was the "PDTV_Orenji" you mentioned? I don't understand where that comes into play? It says it's going to be DL'ing for about a 1 day at this point. (10 mins into the DL) Does it ever speed up or do they really take this long to DL?

    Thanks again for all the help and links.

    PDTV_Orenji is just the file name for a specific person who makes that particular torrent. That one is just under 700mb so I just wait for that. The download speed usually gets faster the more of it you have downloaded (because you have more to share), but also depends on how many other people are uploading and at what speed they're uploading.

    alright, so the torrent file is done DL'ing and ready to go. Just curious how I play it. I don't believe Azureus has a built in player correct? My WMP refuses to play it as well. Any suggestions for getting through this final step?

    TIA
