oh jesus, c'mon, its not that tough
- download/install bittorrent (program #1)
- click download link
- install xvid codec (this isnt even a program)
- play video (yay)

codec justification: the xvid/divx thing is so you can watch the video.
brian wagner used it because its the best way to compress it while keeping
the necessary detail. mpeg is easily twice the size, and will even then be
full of graphical errors/artifacts.

bittorrent justification: the download count is up to 76. so far i've only
had only a couple of people complaining. i believe far more people are
getting this video than if i sold cds (even though its only a buck to cover
shipping+cd cost, i seriously doubt 76 people would have threw a buck at me
just for this video). also, given just how many people actually downloaded
this file, there is no way it could have been from only my system via ftp.
that would mean i would have had to somehow transmit 24 GIG (!) of
information over the past 3 days. i hate to say this, but if any of you
tried sending 24 gig in 3 days, your ISP would be calling you up asking what
the heck you were doing, right after they permanently disabled your account.
even split up over 3 or 4 people, this demand would still raise some
eyebrows.
