Video of Beijing men's 5000m??

Here are the last 4 laps.

http://www.ethiotube.net/video/455/Beijing-2008--5K-Men

It would be nice to see the whole race.

yeah, thank you. my internet is slow so it'll be a while :\

It took me like a whole week to download both files because there was only one person seeding them to me. You'll be done way before then, I'll seed this for awhile.

I remember awhile back some guy uploaded ALL track races (except for racewalking and semi-final rounds) from the Olympics to a webpage in HD. I downloaded all the distance races but my computer at the time actually couldn't handle the footage; so I deleted them. Dumb thing to do, especially since I have upgraded my computer since then. :/ I haven't seen any 5k videos in torrent files anywhere.

awesome. i really appreciate it. i hope that guy returns to email the link for the 5000m final

oh yeah, wasn't it like some sort of online mac hard drive?

he had TONS of races from all sorts of years and events

Yeah, that's exactly what it was.

I remember going back to the website once I got my new computer, but he took down all the files. I'm sure it is linked to somewhere on the forums, I'll give it a quick search.

I found the link in an old thread:

http://www.letsrun.com/forum/flat_read.php?board=1&id=2639447&thread=2639221

Here was his website:

Currently it links to a white page and archive.org doesn't work for this type of website. He does have an email listed though.. if the guy in this thread doesn't get back to you on the 5k video we can just email this Christopher Barr guy to see if he still has the videos.

WHOA!nice work, Wasnetsky. this chris guy has a nice set of vids..apparently he's only hosting stuff from 2010 right now:http://img339.imageshack.us/img339/5570/clipboard01su.jpgand yeah, he'll probably have the beijing vids if the other ppl dont come back.

Nice manipulation of the link, I didn't know there was another way to view the folder. The last lap of the Stockholm 5k was fun to watch, especially seeing Solinsky in the mix.

ha, you must be using firefox - i tried the link there and it didn't work. i didn't do anything.

my Chrome browser must've manipulated the link.

Google Chrome >> Firefox

even IE jumps to the proper address

I'm actually using Opera, Firefox started to run too slowly for me so I switched. You're right though, in IE it converts the link.. weird. Anyway, I'm downloading the Oslo 5K where Solinsky first broke 13. It's a 122mb file so I hope it's the whole race.

I really wish the Olympic videos were still up on his account. I'm also curious to see what other videos he has. Gebrselassie's marathon WR in full?

He had the Olympic videos up only for a brief time right after the Beijing Olympics. He always has good stuff.

I have the 5k, 10k, and marathon. They will be uploaded by Monday with a link if anyone wants it.

I couldn't find your email until this post ...

I'll send the link now.

i finished downloading and just watched it. what a beautiful race...thanks again.i've finished downloading the marathon vid too, and i'll be seeding the torrent for a while for others.

I want it!

are they scene rips by any chance?

the marathon rip i have is scene ripped:

Beijing.Olympic.Games.Mens.Marathon.WS.PDTV.XviD-NOsegmenT

and i know there's a 10000m scene rip out there:

Beijing.Olympic.Games.Athletics.Mens.10000m.Final.WS.PDTV.XviD-NOsegmenT

either way, i'm looking forward to those links!

does anyone have a video of the 1996 Atlanta Olympic 10000m showdown between Geb and Tergat?

I grabbed it and am seeding it for a while too. Watching it now.

At the 5k point, "Well the only thing we can say for certain about this race is it won't be won in 2:06."

I'm on the torrent right now. Couple of problems (1 I can't remember how to forward the ports (?) and (2) this is a work connection that I will have to shut down come Monday but will seed through the Thanksgiving Holiday.

what torrent app are you using?

it should be under preferences or settings.

example, i use utorrent: options->preferences->connection.

which ever port you choose has to be also added to your router's configuration.

this site shows you how to add the router configuration depending on which router you have:
