Week2 Giants @ Cowboys - Full Video

 

Not that we really want to watch it again so soon, but CowboysConnection.org has the NFLN Replay version of the week 2 Giants game available via OneSwarm.

Update: Full version of the game is available now too.

OneSwarm is a peer-to-peer network file sharing client that depends on those who download to stay online and seed the file to others, so don't be a leech! Please keep your connection active after you download the file and help everyone get faster download speeds.

And while you're at it check out the forums and introduce yourself to the other Cowboys fans there...

Instructions for OneSwarm posted below the jump.

You can also check out tenyardtorrents.com for other torrent files of the game (which may be easier anyway).

OneSwarm Instructions

This is a somewhat modified version of the instructions posted in the tutorial thread at cowboysconnection.

If you don't already have an account there or don't have OneSwarm set up, first sign up for an account.

Step 1:  Download the OneSwarm application

Step 2: Install and launch the application, which will open a browser window... this is your interface to the application and the network (on a PC, use Firefox as your browser, Internet Explorer won't support many OneSwarm functions)

Step 3: Create your One Swarm user identity, making it the same id you use at Cowboys Connection.

Step 4: Click "Add friends" on the left in the One Swarm window. Then click "Add friends manually using public keys" and click "Next" then copy your Public Key from the "Step 2" box

Step 5: Paste your key in the "Public Key Exchange Master List" thread at Cowboys Connection.

Step 6: Copy the moderator Star Gazer's public key and add it as a friend, he's the first one on the Public Key Exchange (Master List)

Step 7: Once he receives your Public Key, he will add you to the circle of friends.

Step 8: Add all the public keys in the master "Public Key" thread. Star Gazer has now separated the list into batches of 25 keys each, and has a video tutorial up showing exactly how to do this. Copy one batch of 25 names and keys, click "Add friends" on the left in the One Swarm window, then click "Add friends manually using public keys" and click "Next" then click the "Multiple friends" tab and paste in that whole list, or a whole page from the master list thread, then click "Scan" and it will scan through and you just type in the username for each key. This is a lot faster than cutting and pasting each username and key separately.

Step 9: Click on Videos on the left in the browser window, and you should see "2009 Regular Season," click there and then click on the thumbnail of the video you want to download. From the toolbar, which is above the thumbnail images, select the "Download" button (you can also browse to select the folder you want it to download into, for example if you have an external hard drive, because over the course of the season the files will take up a lot of space). If all of the above are done, you should be able to download the video.

Step 10: Once it is downloaded, stay online to help seed the file to others.

It's not the easiest thing to get working, with multiple steps as you can see, but once you have it set up it is a good way to distribute large files as the burden of providing the bandwidth is distributed over the network of users, with each user seeding the next, rather than relying on one central server with limited bandwidth that could get overloaded with everyone downloading.

The users also provide an extensive collection of older games and other Cowboys video features.

If you have questions about any of those steps let me know, or post it in the support thread.

There’s no way I want to watch that again.
