Post here if you own preorder video or want to host it
In an attempt to get things rolling on the preorder video front, I would like all current owners of the video to sign on here and list there internet connection, as well as any who would like to host the video.
For those willing to post the video on the web, here are a few sites that offer enough space to host the 70 meg file.
http://www.fortunecity.com/
http://www.topcities.com/
http://www.100megsfree.com/
http://www.yod.net/
http://www.0catch.com/

Im pretty sure that the "preorder" video is copyrighted material. Any posting of it on those sites will likely result in the permissions of the file being altered so that the general public can not download them. In a worst case your account will get removed...

This may be true, but it would be available long enough for the vast majority of the Apolyton community to view it.

Hate to sound like an idiot, but....
I can't find that one in the list of newsgroups that I can acces right now.
Deal is, I use news.cc.purdue.edu, that gives me access to some newsgroups, but not alt.binaries.civ2 or anything that relates to civ at all.
HELP!

i checked it out, but actually didn't find anything of interest, is there something I'm not seeing?
By the way, Anni, would your internet connection allow you to upload the file to one of the web services I listed earlier in the thread?

Does anyone know of any free software to view newsgroups? All i have is AOL and I assume that is why I am not able to find the file listed.

Well, the address: http://alt.binaries.games.civ2 or http://www.alt.binaries.games.civ2 or http://alt.binaries.games or http://www.alt.binaries.games - does not work! The web page cannot be displayed. 
I tried them all, just to be on the safe side. 
Anunikoba, what is the EXACT web address?

It's a newsgroup and as such has no web address. It's kind of like a listserv, but all the e-mail are stored on a server instead of e-mails being sent around.

Yeah, it's a usenet group.
You need a newsreader and a connection for that. But, it was the easiest way for me to get the vid to the public.

it's easy if you have microsoft outlook. add a "news" account and type "nntp" as your server. you should be able to access all newsgroups.

thanks annikoba
Is there any chance we, who cannot access newsgroups, could get you to post it on web server if it's not too much trouble?
*pleads!*

Substituting the URL of the video file for FILE_URL, and tag brackets (< >) instead of the normal ones. Save the file as index.html. Upload it.

LHM: That should help you put it up on a site, (ta Snapcase btw) now you just need to sign up to one (or more) of the sites with free hosting, and upload the video file and the html file.
Let us know if you have any problems

That's not a valid host/server or whatever. I think it has to be something like this - news.cc.purdue.edu, and if someone ever got it on the web or a filesharing group this point could be moot...

I just checked this newsgroup and it contains only the first three seconds of the video. If it can be reposted, I'll download it and put it on KaZaA.

for beginners...
Ok, everyone - the file is definetly all on the news group -although it is taking ages to d/l - only 23mb so far. (and that's in about 3 hours!!! on a 128k line)
What most of you will be doing is only loading the first part (of 171) as most newsreaders - e.g. outlook - don't let you handle multipart attachments. Try using FORTE instead.
You also need to make sure your NNTP server has all 171 posts - not all servers do as they tend to delete binaries. Try searching on the internet for "Free News Servers" or "Free Binaries News Servers" - you may find some that work.
Also, you can't just type NNTP into Outlook to make it work. You need a proper address, such as news.freenews.net.

don't give up earthling, once some people get it off the newsgroup it will eventually migrate to file sharers and web sites and then the rest us of, even the newsgroup-challenged factions of this great community, will have the legendary video

If you can find your ICQ number, we can do it that way, right?
