You can download certain file types off servers that are 500-700mb in size, and then watch them on your computer? What type of file? avi? Whats the best player for these "DivX" movies? How good is the quality?

Uhm... quickly to answer your questions before it gets locked:

Divx is a certain compression scheme... the files are usually .avi's. Actually, I think all of them are. If you are on a broadband (you'll have trouble dling even with cable modem or DSL), you should be able to dl them. Most people get them through IRC I think. Luckily, I'm at school, so I can get them off the network or off my friends from other schools. You use Windows Media Player usually to watch it. Of course you need to have the DIVX codec installed. Quality is pretty damn good in terms of size/quality ratio. Good luck finding servers...

wow, we're gonna be in big trouble whne the mods find out about this thread ;) but I didn't help Grim with anything, so I'm clean as a baby's butt :)

if you're gonna use IRC< watch out, its hackers galore :(, thats why i stopped chatting and using it when Millenium from here claimed that he &quot;trojaned&quot; my computer with just my IP. ;)
