I tried this but it didn't work. It did the same thing. I have another version that is an mpeg as well and it does the same thing. Codec or player problem? Recommended fixes?

Glad to see this was available so quickly...cheers to the Big Man! I dont think any true Pink Floyd fan ever in their life thought that they would see the band together ever again and then....just like that......BLAM..... they are together! I dont think anyone can rule out a new album realease within the next couple of years. I would go as far as to say that they could not tour with their old stuff because there are far to many great songs from Divisional bell and Momentary Lapse that make referances to Roger and his attitude in leaving ect. You can see from their faces on stage that they genuinley loved being togethere again! Surely this is somthing they would not throw away...there is still plenty of life left in the old buggers yet!

If you have downloaded the torrent file and opened it so that it opens the torrent window thingy, then it should download. If it is not, then perhaps you are behind a firewall? You will either have to cinfigure your firewall/router properly or switch it off temporarily.

Your download speed is proportional to your upload speed by the way. No free lunches.

Finished downloading it this AM, but it won't play.

I even copied it to a different computer with the latest QuickTime (7.01) and it doesn't open there, either...says it's "not a file that Quicktime understands."

I have lots of mpegs that play just fine on quicktime.

Hmmmm....anyone have any ideas? I'm on Mac OSX.

Keith,
I've checked out your site many times over the years. You have done a hell of a job. Now, thanks to Floyd, I have a reason to sign up. Glad to see there is new technology to fight trhough to find the prize. I gave up downloading after being stonewalled by FTP (firewall at work made it a challange). This bit torrent is a whole new load of fun. I have the audio, no video yet (I'll figure it out soon enough). I just wanted to thank you for the tunes and to comment on how awesome your site has become.

P.S. Are you still in contact with Jeff? I lost touch when my computer spontaneously combusted a few years back (dozens of computers spontaneously combust every year. It's just not widely reported).

Thanks again!!!
