Video download help

Whenever someone uploads a video, our server keeps a full-quality copy of it so that you can download it for screenings. However, we do not currently have the capacity to serve these big files ourselves. Instead, we offer a download via Bittorrent, a peer-to-peer filesharing sytem.

In order to download the full-quality video, you will need to have some software installed on your computer. Basically you have two choices:

• Bittorrent + VLC
• Miro

Bittorrent + VLC

Bittorrent software shares the file you are downloading with other people as you download it. If you want to help us distribute video files, please leave your Bittorrent client open after your download finishes and you'll be donating your bandwidth and making everyone's downloads faster.

All of the full-quality video has been converted into a free format called Ogg Theora. The easiest way to watch them is to use the excellent VLC video player which you can download here. Alternatively, you may download the Ogg plugin for Quicktime, or Ogg plugin for Windows Media Player.

Miro

Another easy way to see the full-quality video on our site is to press this button:

This will allow you to download Miro, which takes care of feed-reading, Bittorrent and video-playing software in one easy to use package. You can find out more about its features at the Miro site. Once you've installed Miro, you can subscribe to our video feed to automatically receive all of our latest videos, or click the 'download torrent' link underneath the video above to download only the video file you want.

Security note

If you are incredibly paranoid about other people knowing that you are downloading a video, please note that your computer's IP address will be visible to the people who you are sharing the video with. In this case, don't use Bittorrent or Miro.
