Charley Boorman does the Race to Dakar, 5 hours worth of great footage and the series really gives you a great idea how intense this race is, if you havent already seen it book mark it. Each video is the full episode.

Boorman = TOTAL LEGEND, WE WORSHIP YOU!!!!

Interesting. I saw it on Sky when first showed but have never got the DVDs, despite several hints @ Xmas Sad

Is there a way of downloading the episodes (from this site or another) without having to use yet another media player Confused Would rather burn onto own DVD / VCD rather than rely on just PC for playback.

FWIW don't want to get into torrents, for some reason doesn't work too well on my home PC.

Thumbs Up

MAP- on the right hand side of the video box is a big blue box that says "download" Very Happy


Also if your getting really slow speeds from torrents i expect you have not setup the port forwarding correctly. I persume you are using azurus in which case goto www.portforwarding.com and follow the guide for your router! Torrents are ten times better than streams Very Happy

I'm sure it's a great watch but i can never respect people like Charlie who do these things with all the backing in the world. It doesn't quite capture the true 'no guts no glory' spirit of the race.

Still, it's been discussed to death in the past. Each to their own.

sorry map, i didnt realise they make u use some gay player thing! Im sure theres a way to rip the stream, just cant remmber how, torrents might be the best bet!

Spannermonkey- have you actaully watched it? Charlies team is one of the smallest teams in the race, theres very few independants because of the high costs! They had one support car, other riders have like 5? Backing aside, the mental and psyical work he has to do is amazing!

Does this run really strangely for anyone else?

Can't seem to watch anything on this site without the video looking like the frame-rate's been slowed down.

Torrents for me then...

the one thing that kinda started to wear thin was all the swearing that was left in. could have easily been edited out like in long way round. but they just left some in to get across the stress of the most extreme situations.
there was a lot left in just for the sake of it with this.

other than that though it's very good.

Only coz the aussie guy was continously uttering them! The swear i remmber most is when charlie crashs badly, break his hands and shouts "FCUK" .....you know that was a killer blow!

Didnt realise there was a book, might have to go and get that i think!
