Ah crap! I just tried to donwload the video for the second time from Richard Scott's site, but it didn't work. WinZip is telling me the zip file has been corrupted! I tried just like he told us: right click on the link, then save as... Philster

a million people have found it, I am only getting about 1% of my normal download speed. slow even with adsl..... would be interesting to know how many people download it in the next few days. JM

Go to http://hobgoblin.tc.net/ign/ Right click on "Click here to download The Nascar3 Video!!" then go to "save link as" and click it..it will let you save it as a file. Hope that helps! -Richard

With IE5 I just clicked on this link and I had the whole video in 1 min. 40 secs. http://hobgoblin.tc.net/n3video.zip Incidentally, guys, bear in mind that this video is just a promotional video set to music that runs 1 min 39 secs. It shows a medley of short clips from the game and the last 30 secs. in nothing but the Papy logo.

There are two other options. Some versions of Netscape have trouble downloading compressed files. that may be the case here. Here's another option: One: try it from Browser via ftp ftp://hobgoblin.tc.net/pub/ Then click on the file and save it. Or Open a DOS window <from the start -> run menu type command> then from c:> ftp hobgoblin.tc.net at login type anonymous then at ftp> type bin to change to binary cd pub then type get n3video.zip Just another option....Hope it helps! -Richard

Thank you ! Thank you ! Papy's site was down to 80 bytes/sec. Not Kb, not kb, but bytes ! Was at 120Kb/sec peak with ADSL at your site. Less than 2 min download. Thank you again !
>There are two other options. Some versions of Netscape have trouble >downloading compressed files. that may be the case here. And Netscape especially sometimes tries to download binaries (compressed files, executables) as ASCII-encoded files, that's why you see ***on your screen instead of starting the download. You can also see that when your file on the HD is larger than it is on the ftp-server. Happened to me sometimes, use Go!zilla or GetRight instead.
