GT Legends torrent not working?

Hi folks, I found the torrent link on torrentspy.com, but when I try download, I get an error claiming "unrecognized host" showing my IP address (using bittorrent on Gentoo Linux). Any ideas why this doesn't work as expected? Cheers, uwe -- GPG Fingerprint: 2E 13 20 22 9A 3F 63 7F 67 6F E9 B1 A8 36 A4 61

You probably have to register at some site to download it. Its not worth doing if the file isnt legal because its very easy to get caught. Steve "Military intelligence, two words combined that can't make sense" Uwe Sch�rkamp wrote:

I think you need to wait for 36h before being allowed to download? Ach whatever. To the other poster: I am not exactly sure this file would be illegal if it was freely available from their website, but then again IANAL. cheers, uwe -- GPG Fingerprint: 2E 13 20 22 9A 3F 63 7F 67 6F E9 B1 A8 36 A4 61

I got 65% in 3.25 hours, torrent is working perfectly over here. 14 kb average speed, MUCH better than emule... For what it's worht I use bitcomet 0.59 which is a good (small memory usage) torrent client, much better than azureus with the java stuff having to use a LOT of CPU and RAM... -- Email contact http://cerbermail.com/?ltQ8eCFmRa

I'm at 79% now with estimated remaining time 1.15h, as soon as it's done I put it on emule if you want, but Uwe, try it with bitcomet, it has the trackerless feature (DHT) and you don't need to login on any site to get it. www.bitcomet.com -- Email contact http://cerbermail.com/?ltQ8eCFmRa

Unless you're find the seed in some non USA country, like Sweden, like pirate bay. There have been numerous posts about their funny repsonses to legal threats from software vendors. I've read a few and they are pretty funny ("please don't sue us, our lawyer is passed out drunk right now ..."), this was in the response to EA. Apparently, Sweden law doesn't consider bit torrent seeds as violating their (Sweden) copywright laws. From what I read here, the demo has a way to go so I'll just wait. I got the German version of GTR last November (with the German to English patch), and got the USA version about 2 months ago. However, I've been playing a lot of different games lately and haven't spent much time with GTR. My best lap at Spa with all assists off is only 2:14.5, while I've seen replays of sub 2:10's (although which version these were made with could have helped, as the original German version was a bit faster (and less stable) than the current ones (1.3 or 1.4).
