I really enjoy all the TASes that all of you post, and someday I want to make one of my own. Unfortunately I don't have any idea of how to make a TAS. What should I equip myself with before I try a TAS? Are there any programs I should download to work with my emulator? Are there any subjects I should study up on before trying? And where can I find (well organized) info on things like luck manipulation and memory watch? (The game I have in mind to try and TAS is a Genesis game.)

Thanks for the help everyone. I'm now 99.9% sure that the problem is my ISP, since the college I'm going to is my ISP. I think I remember a stipulation somewhere that said that they don't like peer-to-peer programs. I guess they really meant it. Is there any other way to download the AVI's without using BitTorrent?

Hello all. I'm basically a lurker around here and occasionally visit to see what movies are in the making. Anyways, I have a question that is likely to be very noob-ish. Is there any way to get the avi.torrent files to download a little quicker? Every time I try and download them they either take forever or never finish. Last night I started downloading the avi.torrent for the Majora's Mask run, and it actually managed to get 85% downloaded within half an hour. Then I left to go watch a movie and came back two hours later to find that it was still at 85%. What gives? How does a 60KB file take over 3hrs to download? Does anyone have any tips on how I can successfully download one of these things? Oh, here's another question I just remembered that's been bugging me. How do you get the avi's to actually play? The few I've succeeded in downloading always tell me I'm missing a codec, and I think it's the H.264 one. So I downloaded it, and I still got the error message. I suspect that there is a way to tell my video player to use that codec, but I'm not sure how. Is there a way to do this? Or maybe a better question: is there a media player that I can download that is guaranteed to be able to play the avi's distributed by this site? Any input would be greatly appreciated.
